Deadlier Than COVID The Virus with a 75% Death Rate (Nipah Warning)
Could the next global pandemic be hiding in a fruit bat? While the world has been focused on COVID-19, the World Health Organisation has identified a pathogen that is far deadlier: The Nipah Virus. With a mortality rate ranging from 40% to 75%, this neuro-invasive virus doesn't just attack the lungs—it attacks the brain.
In this urgent medical briefing, Dr. Aria Wells MD breaks down the science behind the "virus with no vaccine." We explore the history of outbreaks from Malaysia to India, the terrified reality of how it spreads from bats to humans (often through raw date palm sap or fruit), and the horrifying symptoms of acute encephalitis.
Unlike COVID, Nipah kills the majority of those it infects. But is it transmissible enough to cause a global lock down? Dr. Wells separates the Hollywood fear-mongering from the real virology, explaining the R-naught factor, the risks of mutation, and the specific prevention protocols you need to know if you travel to Asia.
This is not just a medical lecture; it is a call to vigilance. Understanding "One Health" and our relationship with nature is the only way to prevent the next catastrophe.
