Mutant flu / bioweapon running wild in Ukraine?

aligator_am · 2009-11-18 19:26:11

I've been hearing tidbits about this for the past couple of weeks but haven't seen anything on here about it. It seems that while some of the cases are H1N1, some are of an unknown virus which causes the lungs of the victims to blacken. I'm unsure if this is a mutation of the existing flu virus or if it's something more…

I'm unsure if this is a mutation of the existing flu virus or if it's something more sinister? Either way, with such a large amount of people becoming infected let's hope that this isn't simply the first location where H1N1 has mutated (if that's the case here I mean).

seems to be political scaremongering dude. But I'll grant you that if the situation were real, then it would terrifying in its implications. Its something we're all waiting for, you can see it in numerous zombie movies and so on. A lethal pandemic will break out, its just a question of when. But the good thing is that societies are much more clued into quarantining them.
