Nipah is like Ebola, where it's too deadly, too quickly to spread like CV

Nipah is really, really bad shite though

Has Crimson Fever checked in to tell us he knows someone’s who’s died of Nipah and he will be the first in line to get his Nipah shots?

Pretty sure the virus in the movie Outbreak is supposed to be based on Nipah

Why does this shite always originate in shitholes?

Because they bathe in the same streams their cattle shite and piss in, there's no real medical infrastructure, they wouldn't know what to do with a bar of soap and they wipe their asses bare handed.

Don't they directly compare it to ebola in the movie? Like they analyze the strains next to each other? or am I misremembering?

Nipah has been around for a while and only seems to occur in SE Asia shitholes



Yeah 30 seconds of research would have told the op this.


CBS News Article on the current outbreak

quote:

Government authorities have stepped up contact tracing efforts, identifying, quarantining and testing people who may have come into contact with the young victim. According to the state's health minister, Veena George, 188 people who came into contact with the boy had been identified by Monday. Of them, 20 were considered high-risk primary contacts — primarily his family members, all of whom were being held under strict quarantine or hospitalized.

quote:

The Nipah virus was first discovered in Malaysia in 1999 during an outbreak among pig farmers. Since then, there have been multiple outbreaks — all of them in South and Southeast Asia. In all, it is known to have killed more than 260 people.

Sorry. It was the one in Contagion.

Nipah was discovered after Outbreak was released
