H1N1 is a flu strain that has killed to date over 500,000 people worldwide.
Dr Yoshihero Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin's Influenza Virus Research has been playing around with this virus to make it much more dangerous to humans as part of his research into future vaccines. Where I live not far from the 2007 escape of the Foot and Mouth virus from Pirbright and can also remember lab technicians catching Smallpox in 1973 and 1978 due to mistakes, this is relying on no accidents or mistakes because if there are any we could be in for a nasty pandemic for which there is currently no vaccine. :o :o :o

Are you comfortable that he is carrying out this research?

There are limits to which science should adhere to but surely this guy has gone beyond them now....just think of the power he has in his hands to do what he likes to whom he likes and even sell to the highest bidder at any given time..anything is possible..... frightening :o :o

If people stop reading the oppsing Daily Fail, I think they'll find they'll have a great deal less to concern themselves with in life. ::) ::) ::)

Something a bit more realistic perhaps, given the topic.

Things like this happen everyday in laboratories all over the world.
At the end of the day, if you want to know how to kill it then you have to know how it works

Just like an Omega ::)
Without reading the article, does it go summat like, "...Dr Kawaoka, a devout Buddist,..."
We should only be worried if:
a) His Doctorate is in Middle Eastern theology, rather than Micro biology, with a specialisation in viral management.
b) We live in Winsconsin.

If , when there is a world war3 most of us now have zero idea of the hideous methods of killing that are on the books just waiting to be unleashed. The world has come a long long way since atomic bombs for example.
We already have killer robots but no legal framework for their use.
The obvious way to kill people without ruining the infrastructure is some infection that only the using country has the antidote to. Everytime there is a strange outbreak of a virulent virus I immediately suspect it is a virus being tested. I just hope I am wrong and outlive there in earnest use.

Too true that Varche
There is only one thing more frightening (exempting our lasses cooking) then nature.
That's nature that's been tweaked by the mad hand of the human race :(
You only have to go back 30 years to South Africa and there alleged attempts to genetically develop a virus to attack the blacks there :(
As for Ebola, that is one nasty way to go and we should be very afraid if it gets to the North African coast :(

Are we adding the "tin foil hat" to the "Tunnie hat", and associated items on the list of oof approved attire btw?
-
Obviously we have the Tunnie hat...

I don't do exhausts. It's the rust you see. :)

It's the one on the car what's fallen off, not the one on the exhaust ::)
Although it definitely involves rust :-\

That's nothing compared to the death toll caused by car related incidents.

You know where there's two welders you're welcome to come and borrow (he says, volunteering Chris as one of them ;D) ;)
You can do my sills while you're at it.. ;D
-
Sounds like a fair deal... ::) will it involve curry :-\
-
Everything revovles around curry, you should know that by now ;D
I'm kidding about the sills - for now anyway.. I couldn't get a screwdriver through them so they should pass an MOT ;) Just need to add them on the list of jobs for when the garage is cleared out a bit and I can get in there to take the plastic covers off and attack the sills with the flapper wheel at least.
You're still more than welcome to borrow the welder if you need to stick your exhaust hanger back on, though :)
