This is how stuff happens....

Scientists have shown that tiny changes to modern flu viruses could render them as deadly as the 1918 strain which killed millions.
A US team added two genes from a sample of the 1918 virus to a modern strain known to have no effect on mice.

Animals exposed to this composite were dying within days of symptoms similar to those found in human victims of the 1918 pandemic.

The research is published in the journal Nature.

Post mortems on mice injected in the nose with the composite virus showed that it had rampaged through their lungs, producing inflammation and haemorrhaging.

The researchers stress the experiment is conclusive for lab mice, and not humans.

I feel so safe now.

Well I for one am happy that the evil geniuses of the world finally have a weapon that they can use for global domination.

Yeah, and you're first in line for it, jerk.

TEH T-Virus! They'll unleash it on us soon, and sell the cure real expensive, so everyone needs to have it, and they'll make billions.

 

[J2 Cool]

good thing we found this out... ? Seriously, wtf, curiosity killed the cat it could kill a scientist.

SARS?

 

[Ill Saint]

Yeah, and you're first in line for it, jerk.

Touché? Not enough fill of Corgan angst today or something?

SARS?

Sars wasn't really a pandemic, was it?
