IN the NEWS - China Creates New Virus Strain

"Senior scientists have criticised the “appalling irresponsibility” of researchers in China who have

deliberately created new strains of influenza virus in a veterinary laboratory.

They warned there is a danger that the new viral strains created by mixing bird-flu virus with human influenza could escape from the laboratory to cause a global pandemic killing millions of people."

"In nature, some strains of the influenza virus are highly lethal while others jump easily from person to person. What public health officials fear most is a hybrid that combines the lethality of one with the transmissibility of the other, creating a deadly global pandemic.
Now a team of Chinese scientists has investigated that in their lab by creating a new hybrid virus. They combined H5N1 avian influenza, which is highly lethal but doesn’t transmit easily between people, with the highly contagious H1N1 swine flu strain responsible for infecting tens of millions of people in 2009."

....and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew 24:7

Does this mean that China will start a global pandemic? No....but anything is possible
