William Vasquez+FollowNipah Virus: Should We Be Worried?Okay, here’s the scoop: there’s a virus called Nipah that’s been popping up in places like Bangladesh and India, and it’s got a scary-high fatality rate (up to 75%!). It started with pig farmers, but bats and other animals can carry it too. Bats again! Symptoms? Think fever, headache, muscle pain, and sometimes even worse stuff like encephalitis. The good news: there are no cases in the U.S. right now, and experts aren’t freaking out. But still, wild how these things can fly under the radar! #Health #BodyHealth #NipahVirus110Share
Chris Lyons+FollowOxford’s Racing to Stop the Next PandemicA vaccine for the super-deadly Nipah virus (think: up to 85% fatality rate!) just got a major fast-track from European regulators. Oxford’s working on it after some promising early results, and the World Health Organization is watching closely since Nipah could spark the next big pandemic. It spreads from animals, food, or even person-to-person—yikes. Fingers crossed this jab gets out there before Nipah does! #NipahVirus #VaccineNews #OxfordUniversity #Health50Share
