Spent a few hours in the ER room. They found a new flu virus in my blood and I'm extremely vulnerable against it. Had a heart rate of 150BPM when I arrived at the hospital. Fun evening. Got prescribed stronger antibiotics for my flu virus. And there was a nurse who looked cute and it was like a nerd with glasses.

In een stuk getiteld, “Wetenschappers hebben het dodelijke 1918 griepvirus opnieuw gecreëerd. Waarom?” onderzoekt Steven Salzberg, medewerker van Forbes, wat wetenschappers ertoe zou kunnen hebben gebracht dit te doen.

A team of gain-of-function scientists in Canada and the US report that they have re-created the 1918 influenza virus and used it to infect macaques. Spanish Flu infected more than one-third of the global population and killed 50 million people just after World War I. Epidemiologists regard it as the worst plague since the Black Death in the 14th century.
