(Translation)

A scientific study revealed the detection in two Chinese provinces of 35 human infections with a new animal virus of the Henipavirus type.

According to the information, none of the cases are serious at this time.

The virus, for which there is no vaccine or treatment at this time, was detected through throat samples from patients who had recent contact with animals and is associated with symptoms such as fever, tiredness, cough, loss of appetite, headache, muscle pain, and nausea.

At this moment, there is no proof of human-to-human transmission, although earlier reports indicate that this mode of transmission cannot be ruled out.

Another news, the sun sets in the west, and night is usually colder than day.

China is a disease factory. Needs to be sterilized... radiologically.

They have it! A new scare to use when simian virus fades away. But one thing is missing! a scary name! Henipavirus won’t work. Not scary. Maybe something like brain-eating virus. Has nothing to do with the virus, but that doesn’t matter. Just make it scary.

Also, they have to drop the China connection. Maybe claim it comes from White heterosexual all-body-parts-intact Christian males.

China has to be the most Filthy, Dirty, and Polluted country on the face of the Earth. It seems that EVERY Flu, Exotic Disease, Kooties, etc. ORIGINATES IN CHINA. The world suffers because of the FILTH that is CHINA.

CHINA needs a good cleansing with BLEACH. NUKES from Orbit will work too.

Maybe not new...

From an old article about two Chinese researchers in a lab in Canada:
....
Sources say members of the lab’s special pathogens unit were called to a meeting on Thursday and told that Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng, will not be returning to work. They were not given an explanation.

Cheng, Qiu and her students from China were removed from Canada’s only Level 4 lab in July 2019 over what was described as a possible “policy breach” and administrative matter.

Last year, documents obtained by CBC News through an access to information request found that Qiu was responsible for a shipment of Ebola and Henipah viruses to the Wuhan Institute of Virology four months before she and her husband were escorted from the NML....

Aren’t the annual flu vaccines based on potential flu viruses emanating from the close proximity of pigs and chickens on farms in CHINA?

Are their any chemical cleanup crews left alive in China? Talk about a dead end job.

I think 99% or close to that of all new viruses come from china as they have done for centuries. Need B-52’s with loads of Clorox to fly over and spray.

Per the article

“Genetic sequencing of the virus subsequently showed that the pathogen is part of the henipavirus family, which has five other known viruses. Two are considered highly virulent and are associated with high case-fatality ratios, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But none of the Langya patients died, the study stated.

The next pandemic is already coming, unless humans change how we interact with wildlife, scientists say

Among the 35 patients, 26 were found to be infected only with the Langya virus. All of the 26 had a fever, with around half showing fatigue, decreased white blood cell count and cough. More severe symptoms include impaired kidney and liver functions.

Researchers also tested 25 small wild animal species for the Langya virus. Its genetic material was “predominantly detected” in shrews, leading the team to suggest the small mammals are a “natural reservoir” for the virus.”

Francois Balloux, a computational systems biology professor at University College London who was not involved with the study, said the Langya virus does not appear to “look like a repeat of Covid-19 at all.” He noted on Twitter that the new virus is far less lethal than other henipaviruses and “probably doesn’t transmit easily from human to human.”.

But this discovery serves as “yet another reminder of the looming threat caused by the many pathogens circulating in populations of wild and domestic animals that have the potential to infect humans,” Balloux added.
