Creating resistance to avian influenza infection through genome editing of the ANP32 gene family: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41476-3
"These mutations unexpectedly allowed the usually host-restricted avian influenza polymerase to use the shorter human ANP32A and B and thus partially adapted the viral polymerase for replication in mammals. Although unintended, this consequence clearly indicates the importance of a robust genome editing strategy and subsequent appraisal that includes challenge with multiple avian influenza genotypes at non-physiological exposure levels to rule out the opportunity for adaptive viral evolution."
For now I can only process it better knowing that The Red Cross Society of China allocated $200,000 to the Iranian Red Crescent Society specifically as special funds for the bereaved parents who can apply for it. Each family basically receive about an entire year of earnings, which isn't much but at least it is something to help cover funeral costs.
