We report the detection of Nipah virus in an infectious clone format, a BSL4-level pathogen and CDC-designated Bioterrorism Agent, in raw RNA-Seq sequencing reads deposited by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) produced from five December 2019 patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Infected fruit bats can spread the disease to people or other animals, such as pigs. People can become infected if they have close contact with an infected animal or its body fluids (such as saliva or urine)—this initial spread from an animal to a person is known as a spillover event. Once it spreads to people, person-to-person spread of NiV can also occur. The symptoms of NiV infection range from mild to severe, with death occurring in 40%–70% of those infected in documented outbreaks between 1998 and 2018.
It starts with the usual symptoms of an infection: sore throat and fever, headache and muscle pain. But within hours, it is clear that it is more than just flu. First comes the dizziness and fuzzy thought, then the seizures and, for most, death. Named after the region in Malaysia where it was first identified 20 years ago, several outbreaks of the Nipah virus have been reported in Bangladesh and India since then, including in Kerala in 2018 when 17 people died from only 18 confirmed cases.

Read that again….40-70% death rate. If the Wuhan lab was “careless” enough to start the current Covid-19 outbreak, who’s to say this one won’t be next?
Of course, if any Doctors start messing around with these viruses, who knows what kind of unintended consequences they could come up with by mistake.

Is this the one I keep reading about coming next?
Is this the one that Oprah, Gates, Soros and others met about to reduce the population to "manageable" enviornmentally friendly levels in 2009 which the called "The Good Club"
Notice how none of them or their family members got COVID? hmmmm
Viruses aren't created without antidotes for the rich, powerful and connected.
They just lost out when they tried to use it to kill Trump. Trump on't cooperate with the evil schemes that make Hitler look like a boy scout to reduce the unnecessary population. Trump wouldn't do any of the downright evil things that Biden is doing now to purposely destroy the nation to make it equally poor and miserable with the rest of the world because that is the non-racist, and just and fair thing to do, make the US like communist Cuba which Democratic elite politicians openly adore, and the oppressive facist China Obama said he wished the US were like, and equally as prosperous as the majority of 3rd world countries because the Democrats are convinced US is so systemically racist/sexist/homophobic the people deserve to be knocked down to the ground.

It is scary but from the description it sounds like it burns itself out too fast. In order to be a global threat, it needs to be highly and widely contagious for long enough to effectively keep spreading before it disables.

There was a movie about a global pandemic based on Nipah, but in that one, the sick people have a couple of days at least of progressively worse flu-like symptoms before they are physically disabled and die. It gives them all kinds of time to infect all kinds of people, but reading this, Nipah drops its victims in hours, not days.
Of course, if any Doctors start messing around with these viruses, who knows what kind of unintended consequences they could come up with by mistake.

What's the movie? I love pandemic movies.

I think it's Contagion, but Gwyneth Paltrow is Patient Zero. Matt Damon plays her husband. It also has Laurence Fishburne and Kate Winslet too I believe.

Unintended?
By mistake?
Why dafuq are they playing with Gain Of Function in the first place?
