    Newly-identified Langya henipavirus infects 35 in China (nypost.com)

    Nearly three dozen people have been sickened by a new virus spreading in China — with scientists warning it is too early to tell if it is deadly or spreads among humans.

    The Langya henipavirus — or LayV — appears to be jumping from animals in parts of China, nearly three years after the coronavirus pandemic started there.

    It belongs to a family of viruses that “are known to infect humans and cause fatal disease,” a Chinese-led team of international scientists wrote in a peer-reviewed study in the New England Journal of Medicine.

    That includes the Nipah virus, which spreads from pigs and kills up to 75% of those infected, according to the World Health Organization.

    Wow you guys are going to be pretty sore with all these shots and boosters

    This is really scary. What will Trumpians do given that there’s already the “Chayna Virus”? There’s not enough words for them to name this one. We are in trouble!!

    Sounds like you are rooting for a virus to spread so you can pat yourself on the back for some inexplicable reason. Pretty sick, actually.

    No, not at all. I am poking fun at those who bought in to the false vaccine narrative since most were so rude to those were wise enough not to take the jab.
    I do hope that you and others try to be more civil to those who don't wish to get a shot claiming to be a vaccine when it's not. I think most rational individuals realize that the shot being pushed wasn't anything close to what they sold it as, many are regretting their decision and I don't blame as more side effects keep showing
