[8] [10] In 2020, reassortment (genetic "swapping") between these H5-2.3.4.4b viruses and other strains of avian influenza led to the emergence of a H5N1 strain with a H5-2.3.4.4b gene. [8] The virus then spread across Europe, first detected there in the autumn of 2020 before spreading to Africa and Asia. [1]
The incubation period of the virus can be three to six days, according to the CDC, and the groups at highest risk include younger children and adults 65 or older.

[111] [168] The BBC also made it clear that the genetic sequences of the virus, as far as is known, date back to a West African strain. [111] Some online misinformation also included claims that the COVID-19 vaccine included mpox or that mpox was going to be used to justify new widespread lockdowns akin to those that occurred during COVID-19.

The timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic lists the articles containing the chronology and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, [1] the virus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The first human cases of COVID-19 occurred in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, on or about 17 November 2019. [2]
The pathogens are expected to kill more than 15,000 annually by 2050—even if they don’t make an evolutionary leap that allows them to ravage the globe.
