TL;DR Summary

China has reportedly been experimenting with a new Covid-like virus that is 100% fatal to mice and could potentially affect humans, according to a pre-peer reviewed journal article. The virus, a version of the "pangolin coronavirus," caused severe brain infection and death in mice within 7-8 days post-inoculation. Researchers warned of the potential for the virus to spill over into humans. Additionally, Chinese authorities have warned of a potential resurgence of Covid driven by the JN.1 subvariant, attributing its rise to factors including imported cases and declining population immunity.
