A Stanford research team has, for the first time, successfully designed and created synthetic virus genomes using artificial intelligence. The new bacteriophages, developed by Professor Brian Hie and colleagues, target E. coli bacteria with higher infectivity than any naturally-occurring viruses, raising major scientific possibilities alongside deep concerns over biosecurity and AI governance.
Two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China have been found to contain viruses unlike any viruses that have been catalogued to date
People that more easily spread viruses are called “superspreaders”. Now scientists have identified the features that make some people superspreaders.

A respirator device is designed to protect the wearer from inhaling harmful dusts, fumes, vapors, or gases. Recent studies (2012) indicate that respirators even provide the best protection against airborne viruses. It is imperative however, that you understand the various types (categories) and qualities (ratings) of respirators in order to select one that will provide…
The Ebola virus saga began in 1976 in a small village in Congo called Yambuku and the news leaking out of the area was terrifying – lifeless bodies of feverish birds falling from the sky and human bodies piled by the roadsides formed impressions of the apocalypse in the minds of medical professionals.
It struck suddenly, last May, at a hog farm in Ohio. Now, a year later, it has spread to 30 states around the United States, wiping out 10 percent of the U.S. pig population. The virus, known as porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, or PEDv, targets the lining of a pig’s small intestine, causing extreme diarrhea.…

Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
