That's not to say each of us is doing something productive when we panic about each virus that could maybe (maybe, maybe, maybe) wreak global havoc, but because as a society, we could probably benefit from a bit more preparedness overall.

Researchers found the virus, which is a variation of 2009's swine flu, by testing pigs with nasal swabs in a program designed to keep an eye on new viruses from the animals.

"There's no evidence that G4 is circulating in humans, despite five years of extensive exposure," noted Carl T. Bergstrom, a biologist at the University of Washington, on Twitter.

"We need to be worried about any disease with the potential to spread human to human," Li-Min Huang, an infectious disease expert in Taiwan, told the New York Times.

The survey of viruses in pigs ran from 2011-18; because science takes time (when it doesn't involve an ongoing pandemic) the paper is just coming out now.
