Nora Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Epidemics have ruined lots of good plans. But this time it relates Olympic Games planned in South Korea and this is a catastrophe imo. https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/7r8hd4/south_korea_is_hit_by_dangerous_bird_flu_virus/ Lots of financial and human resources have been already spent in the run-up to the Games. But the risks are too high to ignore this challenge called H5N6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the risks are too high to ignore this challenge called H5N6. From that link on Reddit.. "Hello, your submission was automatically removed because your account has a low amount of karma. We realize sometimes there are new accounts or people need to make throwaway accounts to post about confidential issues, so your submission will be reviewed by a moderator and this comment will be deleted if the submission is approved. However, submissions by low karma accounts will be given extra scrutiny and any slight violation of the rules in the sidebar, as well as any perceived attempt to troll, insult, bait, ban evade, or spam will be left removed and is entirely up to moderator discretion. Thank you for your understanding." Zika was supposed to have a major impact on the Rio Olympics. Turned out to be one of the biggest non-stories I can remember. When this gets reported somewhere other than Reddit, maybe it can be taken seriously. Until then, this is fake news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I did read many weeks ago about fears of a Flu epidemic possibly hiting the games, but I also remember reading the SK government decided to act quickly and attack the area where the virus was emerging so it wouldn't affect other places.This is actually very old news from late November. We haven't heard anything else about it since then so my guess is they solved said issue. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/11/28/bird-flu-scare-latest-rattle-south-korea-winter-olympics/901070001/ So yeah, like Quaker said, don't trust Reddit too much. They tend to post fake news very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
