HE: "More news from India about Nipah."
SHE: "Ping Null and Void."
What fresh hell is this???
Fauci, “let me sample that nipah for gain of function.”
“And it is just a matter of time before a pandemic that is far more severe than COVID comes along.”
What kind of reasoning is this?
Panic is the only proven solution.
The bad news is, we are not handling Covid and possible pandemics as well as India.
It had occurred to me that Covid might just be a “fire drill” for the next release of something worse. I don’t think it is Nipah, but something deadlier than the CCP virus.
Is this the illness they got when they burned Pradesh Patel’s widow Nipah on a funeral pyre at Pradesh’s funeral and the fumes from the smoke were choking everyone around?
Any idea if any of the Covid protocols/treatments will have an effect on this? D-3, Zinc, C, HCQ, Ivermectin, Quercetin, etc?
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.
I’d be quarantining every population control freak on the books ... send ‘em all to Australia ... they’re already f***ed anyway.
Welcome to your new ADE future, they just announced the new fear porn and the second part of their binary bioweapon.
Yikes!
PING
PLEASE do not tell Fauci!
Turn loose the murder hornets!
Virus’s Achilles’ Heel Revealed
By Martin Enserink

Vienna, Austria—Scientists have made a discovery about the basic biology of the Nipah virus, which suggests that cheap, existing drugs for high blood pressure and malaria may help fight the disease.
In Bangladesh, the virus appears to spread via date palm sap, which is collected overnight in clay pots tied around the tree trunk and sold fresh in the morning. Fruit bats are known to visit the trees to feed, and their urine and feces can end up in the pots.
No vaccines or drugs against Nipah exist. But now, a group led by Robin Buckland of INSERM in Lyons, France, may have found Nipah’s weak spot. Most researchers have assumed that the virus enters host cells through fusion between the cell’s plasma membrane and the virus’s envelope—a process that starts when a virus protein called G latches onto a host receptor called ephrinB2. But the INSERM team discovered that instead, the virus enters the cell through macropinocytosis, an ingestion process in which the cell membrane folds inward, engulfing the virus and its receptor in an intracellular vesicle.
Armed with that knowledge, the team tested out three drugs: Amiloride, which is used to treat hypertension and is known to block macropinocytosis; and the antimalarials chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, which the team suspected might hamstring the virus because they raise the pH in intracellular compartments, including the vesicles created by macropinocytosis. In cell cultures, they found, all three drugs block viral replication efficiently. The team will start testing the drug in hamsters in a few weeks, says Olivier Pernet, a Ph.D. student in the group.
But tests in humans could begin even before the outcomes are known. “We’re very excited by these results,” says Stephen Luby, who studies Nipah at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Bangladesh. Luby says he and others are already preparing a study protocol to try at least one of the drugs the next time Nipah strikes.
Given its high fatality rate and the fact that the drugs are quite safe, it probably would be unethical to conduct a randomized trial, in which half of the patients receive a placebo, Luby says. Instead, all of the patients that can be reached would receive treatment, he says, and their recovery rate would be compared with past experience.
This is a 2009 article and here is an interesting quote:
“Armed with that knowledge, the team tested out three drugs:

I hear that there is a clinic in Beijing which has a record of 100% cures for everybody who goes there with Nipah Virus infection.
I hope hundreds of the Nipah infected from India go there for treatment.Good for China in helping out the “Vorld!”
