The story itself claims that the influenza virus had mutated into pneumonic plague.
Look I know you are new to FR but please just because something is ‘out there’ doen’t make it true. And your claim that you are seeking the truth leaves one in much doubt. Sources are everything. The reliabilty of yours is at best questionable
The report about the “Ukranian plague” is bunk. There was a panic that H1N1 had mutated into something worse but the WHO has already tested over 30 samples from the supposed victims of this plague and all they have found is typical H1N1. No mutations detected.
The simple fact is that H1N1 can kill all on its lonesome, and I guess when there is a pocket of deaths in one location, people get scared that something other than random chance is at play.
Plague is a general term in the English dictionary. If you happen to have access to the dictionary they showed you in middle school, you can check it out. The reference to a pneuomonic plague is exactly correct in the nontechnical terms appropriate for a general readership newspaper, which was one of the sources cited. I find it interesting to see your earlier casual remarks about ‘whether the matter is true or not’ — but more intent on denigrating the intellect, motives and character of someone you’ve never met than addressing the substance of the articles. Your niggling for sophomore debating points distracts from the discussion. Perhaps that is your intention. Oh, by the way, if a “plague” of locusts flies through your campus, be sure to check whether they are mutating into Democrats.
