The Nigerian government has warned of a “strange epidemic” which has left 15 people dead and infected dozens more in less than a week.

The outbreak of the mysterious disease, which causes vomiting, swelling and diarrhoea, was first recorded late last month in Benue State, southeast of the capital Abuja.

By 3 February, “the number of persons affected with the strange endemic has risen to 104”, said Nigerian senator Abba Moro, according to newspaper the Daily Post.

YIPPPPPIE!!! Something that's not Corona virus!

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.

So far the false positive rate is 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...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

China does a lot of business in Africa, and Nigeria is one of their largest trading partners on the continent. I guess in addition to cheaply made goods the other main Chinese export is becoming disease and pestilence too!

[SIDENET]

with government officials suspecting chemicals used in fishing may be responsible for the sickness,

What the heck are you guys using to fish?

AND IN CASE YOU THINK THAT WAS JUST AN OUTLIER

Maybe the Wuhan virus infects each race differently?

Have any Caucasions actually died so far other than getting sick? There was an American in Chinese who died but was he Chinese or Caucasion?

My conspiracy theory was this was designed to get whites sick in a future war with the US/West and it backfired on the Chinese .
