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

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

Your point being?

Actually dont bother i know what your point is.

Bats pissing on fruit is more common than you think

So if it is known that these viruses come from bats (or at least this one does), why are they not vaccinating the bats to stop it at source? That way a new vaccine could also be considered as animal trials before moving to humans should it not be totally halted at source.

Interesting idea but how would they apply that?

Thats a lot of bat catching to be doin'

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

Yeah. I think they all ready played their trump card on that one. No pun intended.

Most people will just throw in the towel, if they come up with any more restrictions due to diseases, unless people start dropping dead in the street.

People will be more cautious of crossing the street, then they will be at trying to stop what looks like the ultimate inevitable. The problem they always create, because they just never know when to cut their loses and just !

Well if you got my point, then we're all good !!

You're welcome for my support of your OP.

Never thought about bats peeing too much.
But now : am kinda wondering how that works, since they're upside-down while resting and eating...

Probably forgot the answer of some grade 4 science-class question : " how do bats pee ? "

Any bloody way they want, apparently :

How to know that the worldwide pandemic you have isn't all that ...

People are starting fear porn about other diseases that could be the big one.

Wait til the full blown Karen-Virus starts to spread....

We're doomed alright!!!

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.

People packed closely together and poor sanitation.

and lots and lots of undeveloped wilderness full of tropical animals.

Indonesia and the Phillippines have zillions of little islands full of who knows what critters and germs.
and Cambodia and Thailand have 'highlands' like West Virginia on steroids.

I am sure that some common antiviral chemistries in food will kill this virus if you eat those foods. I did not look this up, but I know pretty much how most viruses work. Inhibiting their enzymes and blocking their ability to replicate or slowing it can give our immune systems time to figure out how to kill most viruses.

I am less afraid of microbes after studying them so much than I was before I studied them. Most viruses share similar properties, but may have a couple of differences. The SARS-Cov2 virus has a different way it works than the flu virus in some ways, you do not use some antiviral chemistries on it that are used to treat the flu or it may get worse. All of this is in research that was done many months ago already, they are just trying to make patentable medicines to cure people once they are sick. Stopping it before you get very sick is what I do, I do not focus on curing the disease when it has gone covid. That is for doctors and hospitals to do.

Buyin???? Videos???? Thats what Pornhub is for.

Very true, maybe they can put something in the food? I dunno, just seems a logical approach. Also make hygeine at food markets etc more stringent.

a reply to: CthulhuMythos

They are fruit bats they eat straight from the tree, so that idea seems impossible.

We must make sure we always wash our fruit before eating.

I used to wonder why my mother would always say this before serving. Now i know.

And yes, hygiene is of the utmost importance

a reply to: SecretKnowledge
Then maybe make a crop or pile of their preferred fruits laced with a vaccine near their camp ? Could this be a solution?

a reply to: CthulhuMythos

Oh please don't give them the idea that they can vax nature !

But if they want to vax bats, maybe Billy should start with his wife ?

a reply to: Nothin

Well they want to vaccinate all of us, are we not part of nature?

a reply to: SecretKnowledge

Don't have to wipe any bats out to stop them...all that's needed is a relatively cheap and simple ultrasonic system blasting out bat ear splitting frequencies day and night...bat's, being creatures who rely on a similar biological system to navigate and hunt prey, would be driven away from areas covered in these systems removing the problem without harming the bats.

The best solutions are usually the simple ones.

Ok, so If Trump was to blame for cov-19, then Biden must be responsible for this, they better delete Biden before It's to late

a reply to: MysterX

Good idea.

Bats pollinate over 500 plants according to research.

Most tropical and subtropical plants are biotically pollinated, and insects are the major pollinators. A small but ecologically and economically important group of plants classified in 28 orders, 67 families and about 528 species of angiosperms are pollinated by nectar-feeding bats. From a phylogenetic perspective this is a derived pollination mode involving a relatively large and energetically expensive pollinator. Here its ecological and evolutionary consequences are explored.

BAT POLLINATORS

We need a replacement pollinator first, then sonic the sh1t outta them
