TOPLINE Health officials in India are racing to contain an outbreak of Nipah virus after a teenage boy died from an infection over the weekend, the latest in a series of outbreaks in the region of the incurable virus that kills as many as three in four people it infects and has been flagged as having the potential to seed a new pandemic.
Nipah is a rare and potentially deadly virus that was first discovered in 1999 after an outbreak among pigs and pig farmers in Malaysia and Singapore.
Nipah is a zoonotic virus—meaning it can spread from animals to humans—and can infect humans through direct contact with infected animals or their bodily fluids or after eating contaminated food such as fruit products contaminated with urine or saliva from infected bats.
Cases of human-to-human transmission of Nipah have also been reported during past outbreaks, particularly among the families and caregivers of infected people.
In humans, symptoms typically arise between a few days and two weeks after infection, according to the World Health Organization, though periods as long as 45 days have been reported and it’s possible people may be infectious during this time (the WHO says pigs are “highly contagious” during this incubation period).
Nipah symptoms typically start with fever, headache and signs of respiratory illness like coughing that can rapidly worsen to brain swelling (encephalitis) and seizures that lead to a coma within a day or two.
Between 40% to 75% of people infected with Nipah will die from the virus, health agencies estimate, with the specific rate depending on the outbreak and strength of local medical systems managing the disease (long term neurological conditions like seizures and personality changes have been reported among those who recover from encephalitis)…

I’m surprised liberals aren’t natural carriers being pigs and all.
No, pigs are very intelligent.
Some of them LIVE like pigs
Hmmmm. Bird flu in chickens and cattle. Nipah in pigs. Solution: Cancel the election. Kill all cows, pigs, and chickens. Enjoy cricket tartare.
[[Between 40% to 75% of people infected with Nipah will die from the virus]]
Wow, quite the spread there- which is it? 40% or 75%? There must be an average.
More fear porn fodder.
Gotta keep the masses on edge all the time.
It’s almost like, let’s see if this one scares them enough to take the vaccine.
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.
A new virus outbreak!
Quick! Expand mail-in voting immediately!
Arnold Ziffel was smarter than all of The Hill together.
Yeppers, first thought was ol’ Billy and Fauxi.
I would suppose those percentages differ according to the overall health of the population group studied. I would expect it to be high among groups with weakened immune systems because of existing conditions such as diabetes. The lower percentage probably applies to younger adults without any pre existing conditions. It also probably differs according to the patient’s access to health care and current living conditions.
More like an alarm to introduce better livestock farming practices.
Good points, that .ikely exp,ains it
