Bring on the Plagues? New coronavirus & H7N9 worry authorities

From Conspiracy HQ

In what seems to be almost a script from a movie, we have a few massive new viruses starting to appear around the globe.

The mainstream media is currently making all kinds of noise about the emerging H7N9 & Coronavirus outbreaks as noted by the New York Times:

Terrible new forms of infectious disease make headlines, but not at the start. Every pandemic begins small. Early indicators can be subtle and ambiguous. When the Next Big One arrives, spreading across oceans and continents like the sweep of nightfall, causing illness and fear, killing thousands or maybe millions of people, it will be signaled first by quiet, puzzling reports from faraway places — reports to which disease scientists and public health officials, but few of the rest of us, pay close attention. Such reports have been coming in recent months from two countries, China andSaudi Arabia.

You may have seen the news about H7N9, a new strain of avian flu claiming victims in Shanghai and other Chinese locales. Influenzas always draw notice, and always deserve it, because of their great potential to catch hold, spread fast, circle the world and kill lots of people. But even if you’ve been tracking that bird-flu story, you may not have noticed the little items about a “novel coronavirus” on the Arabian Peninsula.

This came into view last September, when the Saudi Ministry of Health announced that such a virus — new to science and medicine — had been detected in three patients, two of whom had already died. By the end of the year, a total of nine cases had been confirmed, with five fatalities. As of Thursday, there have been 18 deaths, 33 cases total, including one patient now hospitalized in France after a trip to the United Arab Emirates. Those numbers are tiny by the standards of global pandemics, but here’s one that’s huge: the case fatality rate is 55 percent. The thing seems to be almost as lethal as Ebola.

Not only is the H7N9 virus starting to make it’s rounds in China, this report shows the cases of Swine Flu are also on the rise:

A new study on the swine flu virus is showing an increase in infection rate in pigs raised in south and southeastern China. The high infection rate is posing a risk for humans, more so with the avian flu outbreak in the region.
