Remember the COVID-19 Pandemic?
The whole world was in lockdown. But it seemed some experts knew in advance; "TIME" magazine and others, three years earlier, had already warned of a pandemic, as had the CIA.
A month before, there was an exercise.
Now health experts say that the new, more aggressive strain of "Swine Flu" (H3N2) will cause a new pandemic.
Do they know of anything being "cooked"?
Health officials are bracing for a harsh flu season in Europe as a new viral strain spreads “unusually early” across the bloc.
Authorities are detecting influenza cases three to four weeks earlier than in the past two years, according to a new report from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which covers the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
A new strain of influenza A, known as H3N2 subclade K, is driving the spread of the virus, the agency said. That’s the same variant cropping up in places like the United Kingdom, where there have also been signs of an earlier, tougher flu season.
While it’s not yet clear how severe the upcoming flu season will be in mainland Europe, the ECDC warned that it could be worse than previous years if there are more infections than usual and vaccine uptake remains low.
“We are seeing influenza detections increasing much earlier than usual this year, and that means time is critical,” Edoardo Colzani, a respiratory virus expert at the ECDC, said in a statement.
What solution do they suggest? Vaccination, obviously.
