The Other Virus That Worries Asia... The Nipah Virus

The Other Virus That Worries Asia, The Nipah Virus

Some doom porn for you.

So you thought 2020 was a bad year. Read on...

The death rate for Nipah virus is up to 75% and it has no vaccine. While the world focuses on Covid-19, scientists are working hard to ensure it doesn't cause the next pandemic.

The Nipah Virus.

Fruit bats are its main host. It has a long incubation period of up to 45 days in one case. So you could be walking around for weeks spreading it without knowing or showing signs of infection.
Its got a high mortality rate, the death rate for the Nipah Virus is between 40-75%

There are several reasons the Nipah virus is so sinister. The disease's long incubation period (reportedly as long as 45 days, in one case) means there is ample opportunity for an infected host, unaware they are even ill, to spread it. It can infect a wide range of animals, making the possibility of it spreading more likely. And it can be caught either through direct contact or by consuming contaminated food. Someone with Nipah virus may experience respiratory symptoms including a cough, sore throat, aches and fatigue, and encephalitis, a swelling of the brain which can cause seizures and death. Safe to say, it's a disease that the WHO would like to prevent from spreading.

Then we have this lovely bit of information

Hanging quietly in the trees above the market are thousands of fruit bats, defecating and urinating on anything that passes below them. On closer inspection the roofs of the market stalls are covered in bat faeces. "People and stray dogs walk under the roosts exposed to bat urine every day,"

Across 11 different outbreaks of Nipah in Bangladesh from 2001 to 2011, 196 people were detected to have Nipah – 150 died.

Those damn bats...

At night, infected bats would fly to date palm plantations and lap up the juice as it poured out of the tree. As they feasted, they would urinate in the collection pot. Innocent locals would pick up a juice the next day from their street vendor, slurp away and become infected with the disease.

Some excellent work being done by Supaporn Wacharapluesadee and her team in what seems like a never ending battle against coronaviruses and bats. Absolutely nightmare stuff and an excellent read.

Stay away from the guano..

Well, if I actually believed the plandemic came from bats — I’d say eradicate them all.

Since we all know that is not the case, bats will live another day.

The doom porn in the last year has reached epically stupid proportions.

As with everything brought to you by politics, you have to beat the last one to stay relevant, thus the next plandemic is upon us. And don't forget when anything happens when the party of understanding is in charge "Now is the time" will also rear it's oh so ugly head once more.

Don't care, tired of this crap, gonna be one thing after another.

So in 10 years, 196 caught it.

Not a very good pandemic virus then?
They better keep looking for the next one.

Moderna is working on it already. Means they expect a big outbreak, otherwise it wouldn't be lucrative.

“Today we are announcing three new vaccine programs addressing seasonal flu, HIV, and the Nipah virus, some of which have eluded traditional vaccine efforts, and all of which we believe can be addressed with our mRNA technology,” she added.

Bats are way too important to the eco system to be wiped out. They do have the nipah virus. Their habitats are being wiped out at an alarming rate. De-forestation, forest fires, plantations are driving bats to new areas so the disease is spread further afield.

"Bats play hugely important ecological roles,” says Goldstein. They pollinate more than 500 plant species. They also help to keep insects in check – playing a hugely important role in disease control in humans by, for example, reducing malaria by eating mosquitoes, says Goldstein. "They play a hugely important role in human health."

She also points out that culling bats has been shown to be detrimental from a disease perspective. "What a population does when you decrease numbers is to have more babies – that would make [a human] more susceptible. By killing animals you increase the risk, because you increase the number of animals shedding virus," she says.

Am wondering if their new business models will even require a breakout ?

All that's needed is for their cohorts at the WHO™ to declare it a major cause of concern, then use their crony vax-alliances to get the vax included in the new vastly increased vax-schedules.

Don't know, just can see that you're right that they don't have a habit of investing in useless avenues, that stray too far from their business models.

Once the world has been totally frightened into compliance, as we are now : why even bother with a real outbreak ?

Don't know. Just guessing.

Notice "Moderna" and "Monsanto" start with "M".

Not sure what you're getting-at ?

Mo : as in business Model ?

M : as in M-commerce : the tracking of commerce, goods, possessions, and possibly us pesky humans ?

Mo : as in Modifying grains, and the functioning of human RNA genes ?

Mo : as in Modus-Operandi ?

Mo : as in Motive ?

Mo : as in More for them, and less for us ?

Mo : as in Mo the handsome bartender ?

Mo : as in don't got no Mo, and am just making stuff up now... LoL !!

Nothing in particular. I just noticed that.

Dammit people.....STOP. SHAGGING. ANIMALS. FFS!!! Your gonna get us all killed!

Let me guess, this virus qualifies for the next pandemic, the one where good old Billy Gates believes "the next one will get attention this time."

Dammit!!

Bats...AGAIN?????

Seriously though...His name was Peter.

And, like I've said many times before...NEVER AGAIN! NEVER, EVER!!

The villagers, this time, don't care how many sheep they lose...it's a small price to pay to know Peter gets eaten by the WOLF!!!

Yes, I know bats are good for the eco system. It was a joke bra.

I love flying rats. 🍻

Unless Nipsh becomes way less deadly it won’t cause too much of a problem. If it mutated to roughly a 20% mortality rate and spread easily from person to person then, damn.

Can somebody tell Asians to stop eating bats? darn humans, send this people some GMO food is better than eating bats.

a reply to: marg6043

According to the OP : they weren't eating bats, but were only sipping their urine.
Oh : and not really on purpose.

Anyone else notice now many of these pathogens as well as insect and other pests seem to come from Asia? What is it about that part of the world, anyway, to bring these bountiful supplies of pestilence to the rest of the world? IMHO.
