While the covid epidemic has not yet been resolved and covi continues to mutate, Hong Kong experts have discovered a new type of recombinant swine flu virus in mainland China. The virus has the possibility of co-transmission between humans and animals.

According to a report by the Chinese Communist Party’s official media on 9 July 2022, the Chinese CDC based on a recent study published by the School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong pointed out that in China, the H9N2 avian influenza virus is infecting pigs, and is closely related to the swine flu virus. Recombination between the viruses has occurred. According to existing research, this virus strain has the possibility of zoonotic transmission.

It is reported that swine influenza virus is an important zoonotic pathogen. Previous research has found that avian and human influenza A (type A) viruses can co-infect pigs "and generate new zoonotic diseases with potential pandemic potential".

In the new study, the researchers collected nasal swab samples from pigs over different time periods to compare the isolated influenza A viruses.

From April 2021 to February 2022, a total of 829 swine nasal swab samples were collected and eight influenza A viruses were isolated including seven from August 2021 and one from September 2021.

The researchers found that the influenza A virus detected in August 2021 was an H3N2 virus, and its internal gene segments were all from the H1N1 A virus lineage.

The influenza A virus isolated in September 2021 is a reassortment between multiple swine flu lineages. A part of the gene segments of the virus belonged to the avian H9N2 virus subtype, including gene segments derived from the pH1N1 lineage and the Eurasian avian H1N1 lineage, and its non-structural gene segments belonged to the triple reassortment lineage.

Based on previous studies, genotype 4 Eurasian avian-like swine influenza A virus can bind to human sialic acid receptors, enabling the virus to replicate efficiently in human airway epithelial cells.

Sequence analysis indicated that some previously reported genotype 4 viruses and the Eurasian avian H1N1 virus isolated in this study may share a common ancestor, suggesting that further risk assessment of this genotype and its recombination epidemic potential is required.

It is reported that the avian influenza A virus associated with human infection contains internal genes derived from avian H9N2 viruses, indicating that the internal genes of H9N2 viruses may contribute to the transmission of zoonotic diseases, suggesting that the virus strain has the possibility of zoonotic transmission nature.

The deposits of the depositors of the rural banks in Henan, China were reset to zero and could not be recovered. Today, they took to the streets to defend their rights again. This group of depositors who had lost their money gathered outside the Zhengzhou branch of the People's Bank of China to protest at around 5 am on 10 July 2022. There were bloody clashes between the police and the people. The police dragged along and beat the people. It was reported that a depositor was desperate and hanged himself on the street.

Since 18 April 2022, thunderstorms have occurred in five village and town banks in Henan. These banks have frozen their deposits and depositors have since unable to withdraw cash. Many protests have been triggered, with depositors shouting "Return my money". The main reason for the thunderstorm at the village bank was the collusion between the bank's executives and the shareholders behind it.

The people's grievances are raging, and this group of desperate depositors gathered outside the Zhengzhou sub-branch of the People's Bank of China at around 5 am this morning, including children and disabled people.

The depositor's banner reads "Oppose the capriciousness of power, and oppose the violent beating of depositors by the Henan Provincial Government in conjunction with the underworld", "Oppose the corruption and violence of the Henan government, and 400,000 depositors have shattered the Chinese dream in Henan", "Oppose the provincial Party Committee Lou Yangsheng who hides his ears and steals bells." Zero Policy: Zero Petitions, Zero Accidents, and Zero Cases".

A clash between the police and the people broke out at the scene. Some human rights depositors were beaten to the point of bloody eyes, women were beaten with blood in their mouths, and people in white kicked and beat the rights defenders.

At present, this news has been completely blocked by the Chinese government, and Chinese netizens have uploaded the video to social platforms such as Twitter, so that the outside world can get a glimpse.

Henan Rural Bank depositors: Unknown funds entering and leaving the account are suspected of money laundering

Reporter : Zheng Gusheng / Editor: Lin Qing / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/07/09/a103475505.htmlImage : On 25 June 2022, more than 300 victims of Henan village bank depositors gathered in front of the Henan Supervision Bureau of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, demanding "restore the freedom of withdrawal". (Provided by respondents/The Epoch Times)


The explosion of Henan Rural Bank continued to ferment. A number of depositors also broke the news that unknown funds had been in and out of their accounts, some as high as tens of millions. Depositors questioned whether money laundering offences were involved.

Fenghuang.com's "Bank Caiyan" reported that on the evening of July 7, Wang Ming, a depositor of New Oriental Village Bank, saw that someone in the depositor group mentioned that the bank's flow was abnormal. On the morning of the 8th, he checked his account and found strange funds entering and leaving. .

Wang Ming said that he opened an account in June 2018 and only deposited 100,000 yuan (RMB, the same below), but the account balance began to be abnormal from the second month, which lasted for two and a half years until 2021. It just returned to normal.

He said that the abnormal balance was more than 2 million yuan at first, then it became 20 million yuan, 30 million yuan, and then suddenly disappeared.

Another depositor of the bank, Sun Zhe, also found abnormal account flow. Sun Zhe pointed out that the bank opened an electronic account for him without his knowledge.

There are also a number of depositors who found that the account was abnormal after opening the card at the bank. There are depositors' running water and even transaction records before account opening.

Depositor Shaohong said she opened an account at the bank's counter on 28 November 2020 but she checked her electronic accounts and found that the earliest of these transactions took place on 19 November 2019.

Savers expressed confusion, questioning whether it was a technical error, money laundering or something else.

Recently, Henan Rural Banks have frequently exposed scandals. Since April 18, depositors of Henan Yuzhou Xinminsheng Rural Bank, Zhecheng Huanghuai Rural Bank, Shangcai Huimin Rural Bank, and Kaifeng New Oriental Rural Bank have successively found that they cannot withdraw their deposits. The incident involved more than 400,000 depositors across the country, with an amount exceeding 40 billion yuan.

In mid-June, in order to prevent depositors from protesting their rights, the Henan authorities gave red codes to the health codes of a large number of depositors, causing public outrage. After the incident, the authorities punished only a few Zhengzhou officials, who were accused of finding someone to take the blame.

After the savers' health codes returned to the green, they gathered in Zhengzhou in late June to defend their rights, and were once again violently suppressed by the authorities.

In the evening of 7 July, there were a number of Henan village bank depositors in Shandong, Liaoning, Jiangsu and other places. The health code turned red because of abnormal information pushed by Henan Province. The news was exposed by mainland Chinese media in the early morning of the 8th. That morning, the Henan authorities came forward and apologized, claiming that "there was a technical problem."

Japan's Unification Church confirms that Yamagami's mother is a believer 



Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot dead on 8 July. The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, confessed that the motive for the crime was related to the "Unification Church" from South Korea, because his mother was superstitious in the religion, causing her family to lose her wealth. The Japan World Peace and Unification Family Federation (formerly known as the Unification Church) held a local press conference at 2 pm on 11 July 2022 (1 pm in Taiwan) to confirm that Tetsuya's mother is a believer of the sect and she participated in a church activity in the past month. Tetsuya is not a believer, and the part of the donation made by the mother, the church suspected that it was deliberately avoiding the problem, only emphasizing that the police are currently investigating.

According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, Japan's World Peaceful Unification Family Federation (formerly known as the Unification Church) held a press conference earlier to explain the shooting incident of Shinzo Abe. Tomihiro Tanaka, the president of the Japanese Church, said that Yamagami Tetsuya's mother was a member of the church. For the past six months, she has participated in church activities once a month. She has been associated with the Unification Church since the late 1990s.

The suspect himself, Tetsuya Yamagami, is not a member of the church, nor is Abe, nor is he a church consultant. Since Yamagami confessed after his arrest, he originally wanted to kill a specific member of the church, but because of the difficulty of the murder, he turned his target to Abe. According to Tomihiro Tanaka, Abe's relationship with the church was only because Abe had sent a message at an event hosted by a church friendly group and had never registered as a church member.
 
As for the most critical donation from mothers, which led to bankruptcy, the church said that it knew that Yamagami’s family was facing financial difficulties, but whether they still asked for high donations when they knew it, the church explained that there was no record of this part, and only said that “the police are currently investigating”, which seems to be deliberately avoiding the question. The church added, "We are open to discussing the matter, but if the police so request, the church will fully assist in the investigation."

武汉大学疑现霍乱 学生统一肛拭子检测 冲热搜榜首


After news of the discovery of cholera came out of the dormitory of the Faculty of Engineering of Wuhan University, the medical office of Wuhan University and the Health and Health Commission of Wuchang District responded that they were being tested but the results had not yet been released. The news rushed to the top of Weibo's hot search.

On 10 July, it was reported on the Internet that at night of 9 July, a suspected case of cholera was found in the dormitory of the Faculty of Engineering of Wuhan University. The school issued an emergency notice, requiring all students in the dormitory to conduct an “anal swab test” and temporarily isolate them in the dormitory. The school arranged a unified lunch box. delivery.

The school issued a corresponding notice, prompting that if you have gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting, please go to the outpatient department of the School of Engineering and the school for pre-examination and triage, information registration, and the staff instructs them to go to the fever clinic of Zhongnan Hospital.

At the same time, students are reminded to take hygiene precautions, including washing hands with running water and soap/hand sanitizer before meals and after toileting; drinking boiled water, not raw water; and not eating raw food. At the same time, minimize contact with people with diarrhea, especially do not share utensils.

In response, a reporter from the mainland's "Tianmu News" called the Wuchang District Health Committee. The staff on duty said: "A staff from the disease control department went to work last night, and it was not clear whether it was cholera or not."

A staff member of the Wuhan University Medical Office also said that no notification has been received yet, and the test results have not yet been released, so it is inconvenient to disclose the specific situation.

At present, this news has reached the top of Weibo's hot search list, and it has been viewed more than 200 million times on Weibo. Another related entry "Wuhan University unified anal swab test" ranked second in the hot search.

Data show that cholera is an acute diarrheal infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae contamination of ingested food or water. Each year, there are an estimated 3 to 5 million cholera cases and an additional 100,000 to 120,000 deaths. The peak incidence is in summer, and it can cause diarrhea, dehydration, and even death within hours.

Vibrio cholerae is present in water, and the most common cause of infection is the consumption of water that has been contaminated with patient faeces. Vibrio cholerae can produce cholera toxin, which causes secretory diarrhea, which persists even if you stop eating. Rice-washed faeces are characteristic of cholera.

The covid epidemic has not yet passed, and there is a suspected "cholera" epidemic. Some mainland netizens sighed, "I have received too much negative news recently. I was hurt at the right time of my 18-year-old youth, and a good family became fragmented; the epidemic is still there. In the process, cholera has caused trouble again; the normal maintenance of their own money has been expelled and beaten; the efforts of ordinary people are despised or even ridiculed, the privileged people casually walk through the back door, and the capital behind them is running everything.”
