None of the farm workers became infected. But the episode, described in a paper in Eurosurveillance last week, has reignited long-smoldering fears that H5N1 could trigger a human pandemic. The virus is not known to spread well between mammals; people almost always catch it from infected birds, not one another. But now, H5N1 appears to have spread through a densely packed mammalian population and gained at least one mutation that favors mammal-to-mammal spread. Virologists warn that H5N1, now rampaging through birds around the world, could invade other mink farms and become still more transmissible.

‘Incredibly concerning’: Bird flu outbreak at Spanish mink farm triggers pandemic fears​

Spread among captive mink could give the H5N1 strain opportunities to evolve and adapt to mammals​

It's been awhile, I think we are due for a real pandemic. Not like the fake one media reported on.

Measles Virus ‘Cooperates’ With Itself to Cause Fatal Encephalitis - Neuroscience News

Measles virus that persists in the body can develop mutations in the F protein, which controls how the virus infects cells. The mutated protein can interact with its normal form, making it capable of infecting the brain.

Although the normal form of the measles virus cannot infect the nervous system, the team found that viruses that persist in the body can develop mutations in a key protein that controls how they infect cells. The mutated proteins can interact with its normal form, making it capable of infecting the brain.
