Are we alert (but not alarmed) yet?
Are we going to see front page newspaper stories about this?
Spoiler alert: No.Nurse dies after contracting Nipah virus with no cure and ‘epidemic potential’ Quote:A 25-year-old nurse in India has died after contracting the Nipah virus, senior health officials in the country have warned.
The Indian government had confirmed two cases of the disease, which has no cure or vaccine and is classified as a high-risk pathogen by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Quote:Various countries have introduced Covid-style checks in their airports following concerns over the virus, which is fatal to between 40 and 75 percent of people who contract it.
Passengers arriving at airports are being monitored for fever and viral symptoms, while a 'Health Beware Card' can be issued to travellers who arrive from risk areas urging them to seek immediate medical attention if they develop any of the symptoms associated with Nipah virus.
Does that include Australia? Probably not. Nothing will be done until it is too late. Can't have anything causing the airlines and airports to lose money now, can we?
As I've said before - might be time to stock up on 'essentials' and get ready to 'bunker down' for a few months. Especially with the 'superflu' that's been ravaging the US probably already here just waiting to 'explode' over winter.
