come on panic patrol, you can do better than this.
just how desperate have these people become to remain in the spotlight and keep us all terrified?
i'm not even going to link this story because i do not want CNBC getting paid for pushing panic.
none of this holds up.

first off, we don not even know if it affects humans.
so, perhaps we can hold off on the dire comparisons to 1918 for a few minutes?
and ohh, it can undergo "reassortment"? that sounds SCARY.
but is it?
nope.

ALL segmented RNA viruses can do this (this is from an article in "nature")
influenza and rotaviruses are all segmented. you know about flu. rota-v's are similarly common. basically 100% of children on earth have had at least 1 by age 5.
influenza and rotaviruses are all segmented. you know about flu. rota-v's are similarly common. basically 100% of children on earth have had at least 1 by age 5.
there are 11 families of segmented RNA viruses. it's a very common thing.
and every single one has "reassortment capabilities".
so what on earth is fauci babbling about?
you could say this about the flu virus EVERY YEAR.

this is like saying the guy down the street is "an highly evolved predator."
strictly speaking true, but sort of less scary when you realize that the same can be said about literally every meat eating animal on earth.
but fauci is not done yet...

this is literally gibberish.
it would not fool a first year biology student. alas, it probably fooled congress
what characteristics? and why are they dangerous? resistance to swine flu is now widespread. that's what happens after a pandemic.
so, what is he on about?

comparing this to 1918 (a thing fauci has done repeatedly with cov-19 and has been wrong by 2-3 orders of magnitude on) when we have no idea if it even affects humans just seems insane unless your goal is to scare, not inform
and he just keeps trotting out grumpkins and snarks

so, this sounds scary, but is literally devoid of real meaning.
it might be a candidate? do you know why they study this? they do it to guess which strains to put in the flu vaccines.
every year.
this same quote is true of 20 or 100 viruses.

whatever fauci's game is, it does not appear to be science.
to drop this sort of nonsense upon congress during a panic can only be intended to inflame and terrify.
but this is not even a hobgobilin. it's the idea that maybe it could be one.
and it needs to stop.

at a certain point, this can only be a willful attempt to misinform and do damage.
facui is either completely insane or has some nasty motive to mislead us.
neither renders him fit to listen to.
