Why do so many emerging influenza viruses appear in Asia
Pigs can sometimes act as mixing vessels for reassortment involving different influenza A viruses.
Influenza A has eight separate RNA genome segments
Antigenic shift through viral reassortment
My plan
Adequate vitamin D
Nutritional sufficiency
Adequate protein, minerals (zinc), vitamins (C, B12 and folate)
Microbiome, prebiotics, probiotics
Prioritise sleep
Exercise regularly
Reduce inhaled viral exposure
Pity about the preventions not allowed
