Never heard of this website so idk where it is on the spectrum and how credible it is.

Iv been aware of the threat for a long time, and have been considering prepping for a potential global impact if this mutates into human to human transmission.

I'd argue that the threat is their. I'm no biologist but I know a lot of pandemics happen because something mutated or confuses humans for something else.

I'd be just as worried as a terrorist getting a crop duster plane that's used to spray crops with chemicals, and modifying it to spray a hazardous substance like anthrax or diluted chemicals....especially in highly dense areas. This is why I monitor adsb traffic....and try to not think to much about just how one deranged sick person or a mutation in a virus could impact society.

The World Socialist Web Site is the home of the world Trotskyist movement (the Fourth International).
