There are concerns about the potentially deadly Nipah virus spreading to the United States, although the CDC reiterates it's currently a low risk.

    Then there are some cases.

    Then at the end that it’s transmitted through urine and saliva.

      Do you understand how completely the competency of the CDC has collapsed?

      If you think this is sensationalistic, you’re not fucking paying attention to what’s unfolding in the world around you.

        Nope, that’s separate from this. This specific disease and the reporting around it is pure fear mongering in my book. CDC issues are there, they are real. This entire article is just for pure panic.

      Let’s be serious though. The U.S. has a serious habit of shitting and pissing on each other so there’s a real possibility, amirite?

        Didn’t say it wasn’t, said that it’s transmitted through urine and saliva, there are some cases, and the article you posted said:

        a total of 196 people were identified as contacts of the infected patients and were traced, monitored and tested, according to the Indian health ministry. All were found to be asymptomatic and tested negative for the virus, the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

        This is fear mongering. It’s well contained, it’s largest jump is if you are actively touching bats, or sharing bodily fluids with someone else. Neither article mentioned passing it via the air.
