This is the link to my previous posts iin July on how new strains that are continuing to appear in southern China may pose a serious risk, and how they had become airborne in some instances on this thread, the top few posts, which can be summarized by this one:
anon_22 ? at 11:34 To summarize, we are seeing:
1) frequent reassortment creating new strains
2) these new strains show increasing virulence in mammals
3) possible shift towards airborne transmission
I tried to post these questions at FW but of course folks like me, who ask the tough questions, are unwelcomed:
Please define "reassortment".
Do you believe future reassortment can be predicted in the short term (3 months-6 months)?
GR: If all I have is a hammer, everything I see is a nail. I'm at a total loss how reassortment is being viewed by anon_22, as that person waxes "knoweldgeably" on virology of H5N1.
