Taipei, Jan. 25 (CNA) Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control (CDC) intends to list Nipah virus infection as a Category 5 notifiable disease following a recent outbreak in India.

CDC officials told CNA on Sunday that it released a proposed change to its measures on controlling infectious diseases on Jan. 16, which would list Nipah virus infection as a Category 5 disease.

The measure now has to undergo a 60-day period during which members of the public can comment on it before it can take effect.

The Nipah virus has only been under priority surveillance in Taiwan since 2018, according to CDC data. Globally, more than 750 cases have been reported since the virus was first identified in 1998, with a fatality rate of about 58 percent.

Hmmmm interesting one.
WHO not saying much about this one. Either way i'm sure if its dangerous the pharma companies will work on vaccines, pills etc.

We're a lot closer now to very high-speed protection so i'm not concerned about a pandemic or anything.

You had about 5 liters of COVID vaxxes, so u should be good.
 
Looks like 'The Usual Suspects' are getting ready for Phase 2 of their 'The Great Reset' gameplan for humanity's extermination...

Albert Bourla, Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Peter Hotez, Peter Marks, Ashish Jha, and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ALL declare — with absolute certainty — that another pandemic is imminent.

The same architects of the last plandemic are priming the world for the next one — the inevitable consequence of a world that never held them accountable.

Present in advance - you can have mine.


I expect protests in the streets next time where we refuse to wear masks, I'll be there...
 
I’m not wearing masks again either c I hated it. We need proper medical protection for our immune systems. I know masks can help but I reckon by the time we’re at pandemic levels are they really gonna do much?

I don’t think we’re due for another pandemic not this close. One almost humanity ending event is enough in my life time thanks very much! Good thing between vaccines and some general immunity we got through the last one despite the horrific number that shouldn’t have died. But we lost them. If I was CEO of a big pharmaceutical company i would still be dealing with the guilt of not being able to have saved more sooner. Even though we really did nail Covid really fast. But every death is a fault of my company not being good enough. At least that’s how I would have felt. I imagine maybe some do.

Are you on fk glue?
 
"Pandemic" was about the same level of danger as Tuberculosis (TB) here - no danger at all to most. It was a con, from beginning to end.

Unfortunately quite a lot of people still got hurt.

Remember - more than half of Saffers said no to the vax, and we did the same as elsewhere anyway.......

Masks (and isolation) do almost nothing with a virus that small. Was simple to prove over and over and over again, was ignored. The wrong people are in charge (and that's putting it politely).

Just smoke cigarettes. Kills the virus while it’s still in the back of your throat.
