Nieman Guide To Covering Pandemic Flu The Science How Flu Viruses Change

30 2019 -- This years flu season started with a twist.

New strand of flu. The strains recommended for vaccination for the 2020-2021 flu season in the northern hemisphere are. A NEW strain of deadly bird flu which kills 38 per cent of those infected and could spark a global pandemic has been identified in China. To date 145 people who had contact with pigs in four states Illinois Indiana Ohio and Hawaii since July 12 have.

This means that its sequence is the mirror image of the correct code for proteins and a complementary strand must be made from it before production of new viruses within a host cell can proceed. Six months into the global COVID-19 outbreak a study has come out documenting a relatively new strain of the H1N1 swine flu virus. Scientists around the world believe the.

BPhuket30732013-like Yamagata lineage virus. AHong Kong452019 H3N2-like virus. The RNA genome of influenza A viruses is in the form of eight segments.

This dramatic change occurs because influenza A viruses have a large animal reservoir wild aquatic birds. A new strain of flu virus H3N2v has been identified in the United States. Currently circulating influenza AH1N1 viruses are related to the pandemic 2009 H1N1 virus that emerged in the spring of 2009 and caused a flu pandemic CDC 2009 H1N1 Flu website.

This virus scientifically called the AH1N1pdm09 virus and more generally called 2009 H1N1 has continued to circulate seasonally since then. The influenza virus genome comprises 7 or 8 segments while the coronavirus has one long strand. Influenza A viruses that infect humans can undergo a dramatic antigenic change called antigenic shift which generates viruses that cause pandemics.

But an uptick in new flu infections began to appear over the past two weeks. However the virus has not been detected in the US. Health officials are tracking a newly discovered strain of swine flu in China they say has the characteristics of viruses with potential to cause a human pandemic.

The strain thats emerging now is an H1N1 type of influenza A the one that normally kicks off. Lingering symptoms like weakness shortness of breath trouble focusing and in some cases kidney and heart problems are much more common after COVID-19 than after influenza. Oswald did not write the statement attributed to him and claims that the coronavirus is just another flu strain and that SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated.

BWashington022019 BVictoria lineage-like virus. COVID-19 survivors report many more long-term effects of the infection than influenza survivors. Influenza is circulating at its peak and isnt expected to slow down for at least several more weeks the CDC reports.

To address the importance of influenza vaccination especially during the COVID-19 pandemic CDC will maximize flu vaccination by increasing availability of vaccine including purchasing an additional 2 million doses of pediatric flu vaccine and 93 million doses of adult flu vaccine by emphasizing the importance of flu vaccination for the entire flu season and by conducting targeted communication outreach to specific groups who are at higher risk for complications from flu. Mild COVID-19 illness has been described as flu-like. Normally it starts around October and lasts through March or April with the A strain.

Scientists in China are now warning that they have identified a new flu virus in pigs that could possibly cause a future flu pandemic.
