  • Langya belongs to a family of viruses that are known to kill up to 75% of cases
  • None of the cases in two Chinese provinces so far have resulted in people dying
  • Experts believe the virus was passed on by animals, including shrews
Doctors have raised the alarm over a brand new virus that has infected dozens of people in China.It belongs to a family of viruses that are known to kill up to three quarters of humans in severe cases.

'Langya' henipavirus — or LayV — was detected in 35 people in the country's eastern Henan and Shandong provinces.
None of the new cases have resulted in death and most are mild, with patients experiencing flu-like symptoms.

The novel virus is thought to have been passed on by shrews — small mammals from the same family as hedgehogs and moles.

A study published last revealed the virus was first detected in humans in 2019, with the most recent cases this year.

Chinese experts investigating the virus believe human cases are 'sporadic'. They are still trying to work out if it can spread from person to person.

Shrews...WTF else are they going to eat?

Close off China completely. We won't have these viruses.

Got to wonder if these viruses are man made/modified or do people pick them up because Chinese seem to eat everything in sight. You know they don't seem to have a problem with boiling dogs and cats alive.

Should I be worried?

None of the Langya cases have so far resulted in people dying, although patients have been left with flu-like symptoms.

There has been no evidence of human-to-human spread so far, although Taiwanese authorities have set up new testing to monitor its transmission.

The first cases were spotted before January 2019 and have only been sporadic since.

That's exactly my thoughts too. These chinks eat all kinds of things including the odd skoonma. Sickos like this need to get nuked. We can chuck all our junk in the whole that once was China. Sommer include Russia and nuke them too. Problem solved.
