Bummer. Seriously nasty virus with no vaccines nor specific anti-viral treatment.
This virus have the potential of becoming another world-wide pandemic like Covid should an infected person travel to other part of country or traveller returning back home.

> nipah virus: Early symptoms typically include high fever, headache, muscle pain, vomiting, and general weakness. In more severe cases, the infection can lead to acute encephalitis, respiratory failure, and coma. Survivors of severe illness may face long-term neurological complications.

Dr.Oz and Croaky voice will save us. Oh, and we just pulled out of the WHO – great timing
WHO considers it a concern for epidemic (which is regional), rather than pandemic (global outbreak).
Everyone can calm down.

Nipah… the same thing that happens every few years in India? There was a Malayalam movie about how Kerala contained Nipah. In reality it has too high of a mortality rate and too low of an incubation period to spread much but they do quarantine hard for this over there.
Perfect time for the United States to…checks notes….leave the WHO

I am from the region, only 2 nurses were infected and hospitalised more than a week back and there has been no other new infections. Virus does not spread airborne, only through saliva, sex or blood. Humans get infected through bats mostly from consuming raw sap from palm tree or fruits bitten by bats.

Before everyone freaks out, “Nipah virus (NiV) was first identified in 1999 after an outbreak of encephalitis and respiratory illness among pig farmers and others who had close contact with infected pigs in Malaysia and Singapore. The episode led to the recognition of NiV as a serious zoonotic pathogen capable of crossing from animals to humans.
Since then, repeated outbreaks have been recorded in South Asia. Parts of northeast India and several districts in Bangladesh have reported cases, with Bangladesh experiencing outbreaks almost every year since 2001.
In southern India, the state of Kerala reported its first Nipah outbreak in 2018, followed by sporadic cases in subsequent years.”
Seems like outbreaks are common in India.

The transmission is through exchange of body fluids according to the [NIH](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK114486/)
