• Permanently attaching to and poking holes in the heart cells

2 Powerful investment firms are purchasing a sizeable number of U.S. homes, often over asking price, in order to:

• Offer them back to Americans at a discounted price
• Turn them into single-family rentals
  

  While they’re competing with middle-class Americans for the homes, the average American has no chance of winning a home over an investment firm, which may pay 20% to 50% over asking price, in cash, sometimes scooping up entire neighborhoods at once so they can turn them into rentals. Learn more.

6 There are several ways to make a virus more lethal. According to Dr. Steven Quay, one way to do that is to:

• Genetically manipulate the virus with mouse cells in a lab and then release the cells in a human vector
• Insert a new synthetic amino acid into a pathogen and then do what is called a “serial passage” that passes through a series of animal and human tissues
  

  If you know what you want to alter, you can insert a new synthetic amino acid into the pathogen. If you don’t have a precise idea of the change you want to achieve, but you want the pathogen to adapt from an animal to a human, you can do what is called serial passage, where the virus is passed through a series of animal and human tissues.

• Cross the virus with a known pathogen and allow the pathogen to mutate
• Allow the virus to grow unhindered with the help of carcinogenic compounds and splice it into the DNA of another dangerous pathogen
