Smallpox and other viruses plagued humans much earlier than suspected
We've been exposed to measles for at least 900 years, but it has never evolved to become mild. We had smallpox for 1,700 years -- never became mild. Rabies has been around for 2,000 years -- still not mild. Hepatitis B for 5,000 years -- not mild.

Why a New Bat Coronavirus in China Is Raising Concern
“Scientists at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology recently reported the discovery of another bat-borne coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, which is capable of entering cells using human ACE2 — the same receptor that played a critical role in the devastating spread of Covid-19. Although there have been no reported human infections, the news boosted shares of vaccine makers, underscoring global concerns about the ongoing threat of animal diseases capable of sparking deadly outbreaks.”

“I'm shocked a lot of doctors don't know about this newer flu antiviral drug called Baloxavir (XOFLUZA)... that shortens your flu illness by 33%, and reduces your viral load by day 2, versus what a placebo takes 5-6 days to achieve. Baloxavir also seems superior to TAMIFLU (oseltamivir) for smashing your viral load on 2 day, achieving what takes Tamiflu 3-4 days. CDC even lists Baloxavir on their website as one of the top 4 drugs that it tracks whether it works against new flu strains (it works)”

💊 If you get the flu, you can ask for antivirals, OR get them to *prevent flu* if you’ve been exposed (ie prophylaxis). This is standard stuff but MDs are not always on it. Take asap. Don’t wait more than a few days. XOfluza is better than Tamiflu. Elderberry works well, too.— Dana Parish (@danaparish) February 15, 2025
