      Are we fated to have a worldwide disease outbreak nearly every other decade? This gacha has bad rates, man, I don’t wanna play anymore

      Aren’t there national and international organizations who step in to help with spread, containment, and education as soon as an outbreak or hotspot starts to prevent serious spread of dangerous diseases and viruses like this?

      Fk this news from two weeks ago. Like literally nothing is happening. The fear mongering is so insane.

      Can’t wait for another „masks are evil, vaccines caused this “ etc.

      Nothingburger. There’s just an agenda to fearmonger this disease right now. Hi tencent.

      The fact that it has high death rates itself should be a guarantee that it won’t spread worldwide, as we saw with COVID-19, because it’s going to kill the infected off before it even has the chance to spread properly.

      Maybe someone on the epstein files has already invented another new vaccine for all of us.

      To many posting about the oncoming disease apocalypse before they read the article. This is how you spread misinformation. Be more responsible everyone

      Stop with the doom-posting comments.

      Key paragraph:

      > **For people living outside of areas where cases are currently being reported, the risk is low.**

      >Even in the affected areas, the number of cases is small at this stage, but public health authorities are taking appropriate control measures.

      Symptoms appear very quickly, so it always burns itself out. Copying what I posted in a previous thread:

      Nipah has been flaring up every year for decades, and has always petered out locally.

      Yes, someday it CAN mutate to a pandemic, but that’s true of thousands of zoonotic viruses we roll the dice on every year. This outbreak is not evidence of that happening. This is normal. Relax.

      From [this paper on Nipah Virus](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2052297521000378):

      > The basic reproduction number (R0) estimates the speed at which a disease can spread in a population. The R0 is crucial to understand the transmission rate in the study population.

      > A R0 value greater than 1 indicates a potential increase of the infection transmission in the population, while a value less than 1 indicates that the infection will reduce its spreading ability, although exceptions exist [55].

      Virus|R0
      :–|:–
      SARS-CoV-2|2.5-5.7
      SARS|2.5
      Flu|1.46-1.8
      MERS|1
      Nipah (NiV)|0.48

      > NiV, a paramyxovirus, caused the first outbreak in Malaysia in 1998, followed by Bangladesh, India, Singapore and the Philippines [17]. Although Malaysia has not reported an outbreak since 1999, NiV outbreaks have been continuously reported from Bangladesh and India almost annually since 2001.

      For reference:

      >In NiV disease, the prevalent symptoms are fever, followed by altered mental status, headache, severe weakness, cough, difficult breathing, diarrhoea and seizures when encephalitis develops [5,20]. Mostly infected persons showed meningismus [31].

      > The overall fatality rate varies from 40% to 70%, while in the case of acute encephalitis, it can be 82% [17,19].

      > Although no cases of person-to-person spread have been found in Malaysia or Singapore, outbreaks from Bangladesh, the Philippines and India suggest that respiratory droplets of an infected person can transmit the virus, or that date palm sap contaminated by bats can transmit NiV to humans [19,30].

      The bubonic plague still kills like 1000 per year

      Complete fear mongering

      Its not the first time India reported cases of nipah. Many such incidents have occurred previously and they were bought under control. This is just fear mongering.
