Quasi-fake news, but there is more to the story. They attack honey bees. They're not after us but will kill all the honey bees, which pollinate crops. This will result in a worldwide famine that will kill us all. Or we'll be eating Soylent Green. So the fiction goes.

I was stung by one in my left hand while picking up a stick of firewood in Georgia. It was between my hand and stick of wood so I crushed it enough that it died. I was able to to identify it as the giant Asian Hornet.

1. It was incredibly painful for 12 to 14 hours.
2. One sting Killer is False.

I heard they escaped from a CCP research unit in Wuhan, and first attacked in a local wet market!!

Is it healthy to imagine what "might" occur and what "might" be the next disaster? Does that facilitate positive hormones or does it add to the cortisol damaging the immune system that we already have? And it "might be" fake news. Why spread it. I'm going golfing.

Lyons and tigers and bears, oh my!

let's worry about what we can control and not get too crazy researching stuff online to worry about that we can't control now that we're all basically staying at home

It’s half truth stories like this that put the serious issues at doubt.

Someone lost their sense of humor. Sorry, just couldn't resist the headline. For those saying this is fake news, or knocking The Sun, just google it

I think I catch your views Anothersteve, and that was my immediate response too. This poster finds stir the pot stuff to share with us it seems.

I need to read further and then read the article that has been linked by the OP. I haven't heard of that source before, but since I have not read the headlines on my computer from a list I keep in my head as credible (sans the frequent opinion pieces that are political) I am skeptical.
