Virus outbreak in China sparks pandemic concerns: What to know about HMPV

Videos have appeared on social media showing overwhelmed hospitals in China, sparking concerns of a potential pandemic.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has attributed the spike to a regular seasonal surge, saying in a statement on Friday, "Respiratory infections tend to peak during the winter season … the diseases appear to be less severe and spread on a smaller scale compared to the previous year."

The CDC has said it is monitoring the virus through its National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS).

"CDC is aware of reported increases in HMPV in China and is in regular contact with international partners and monitoring reports of increased disease," a CDC spokesperson said in a statement sent to Fox News Digital. 

"These reports are not currently a cause for concern in the U.S., though some transmission of HMPV can be expected throughout the year, especially during the winter respiratory virus season."

Most Powerful Explosion Humanity Has Ever Seen Hints at Dark Matter Particles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvtnKtmyULk

A TeV is a unit of energy used in particle physics. 1 TeV is about the energy of motion of a flying mosquito.

It would be extraordinary for a photon, a single particle of light, to have 18 to 250 times this energy.  If one hit you then I suspect you might feel it.  


Planets closer to the Super Nova would have been fried.  This is a danger that we have always lived with.  A nearby gamma-ray burst would sterilize the planet.  It has been theorized that distant gamma-ray bursts were responsible for some past mass extinctions.

Genetic Experts Reveal Shocking Neanderthal Secrets!

There is reportedly some debate about whether Neanderthals were a separate species. Google search results say that they were.  However, Neanderthals were close enough to us that I like the idea that they were a sub-species.

It is common for people of European ancestry to have a little bit of Neanderthal DNA.  Someone I know did a genetic test that showed a higher-than-average percentage of Neanderthal DNA.

Genetic diversity is a good thing regardless of the species.  It can help a group survive environmental changes.  Under harsh conditions, some individuals die off and some survive.  (Mother Nature is a bitch.  ðŸ™‚)
