Chinese scientists have created a mutant virus by combining a livestock disease with Ebola, resulting in severe symptoms and the death of hamsters. The engineered virus caused systemic diseases and organ failure in the infected hamsters, including impaired vision and scabbing of the eyeballs. The researchers claim their aim was to find safe animal models for studying Ebola symptoms in a lab. If another deadline pandemic emerge, it’s probably from China again.
