Gruesome ‘nose-bleed fever’ death toll [Iraq] rises to 18 as tick-borne virus spreads
NY Post ^ | May 31, 2022 | By Hannah Sparks

More technically called Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, the tick-borne virus has been detected in some 120 people in Iraq since January — including 18 who have died from the disease — health officials have warned, fearing an escalating spread.

The onset of illness causes rapid and severe internal and external bleeding in infected patients, including through the nose, hence its nickname “nose-bleed fever.” Though the virus is hosted in ticks, most individuals pick it up by coming in contact with infected animal blood — usually occurring among those who work with livestock and in slaughterhouses.

The virus is not novel, but it is rare — and apparently spreading at an unprecedented rate throughout Iraq.

Between 10 and 40 percent of cases will die from the disease. Aside from profuse bleeding and potential death, early symptoms include fever, body aches, dizziness, neck pain, headache and sore eyes. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat and brain fog have also been observed in infected patients, according to the World Health Organization.

Maybe it should be called “the IRS flu.”

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever,

Because it was made in a lab in Ukraine?

Seems way worse than monkeypox.

I’m confident Peter Dazak is using our Tax dollars to see if the virus can be spread by domestic Ticks as we speak.

Fascinating paper here, just published in March. And after reading it, I wonder if anyone contracting this who is CoupFlu vaxxed is at far higher risk of serious illness...

When did the word “novel” supplant the word “new?” It is a such a cuck way of speaking.

The fear porn starts again, using words like “death toll”. You’ll never see those words when talking about (if they ever do), deaths in Chicago or any other dem run city.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Quarantine the sick. Protect the vulnerable. Hang the guilty. Free everyone else.

It’s always something.

If it’s not one thing, it’s nose bleed fever.

Wuhan decided...”Why should we stop with one world pandemic? The more, the merrier.”
