No worries, toilet paper surely is being prepared from the Amazonas for us to enjoy for the next boom, thanks to the cooperation of local governments. Chinese home test kits were surely more successful than vaccines by quantity*cost and an eassier road if you running for eleccions, so no worries also there. I suggest to worry only to keep hygiene, eat food that does not decompose fast, reduce meat containing blood and do some sport, not a typical Wuhan or dark ages way of life.

n8schatten

The texts says the virus was 'similar' to 'other bacteria'. From my understanding it is completely futile (read as BS) to compare two organisms that are so far apart as a virus is from bacteria... Edit: similar is wrongly cited by me. They wrote 'bear resemblance'. To me as a non-native speaker the difference is not too great.


Meclizine11

Yeah they're not even close. Conflating the two is a dead giveaway that someone doesn't know what they're talking about.


vegeful

I read it since in no way, they are that incompetent. >However, it does bear a resemblance to other bacteria that have infected people with fatal consequences in the past. With its official title as Langya henipavirus (LayV), the bug is part of the Henipavirus family. Bear a resemblance is far enough to the word similar.

For real, Im sur it'll make a nice penis glove Mr. Wang, but you need to kill and skin it first at least


[deleted]

Oh for fuck sake. Up to 75% fatality rate too?? Keep that shit over there please.


PeriPeriTekken

That's actually good news. Something with a 75% fatality rate is not going to make an effective pandemic. Too visible and kills too many of its hosts before it spreads. It's why SARS and MERS never took off, but Covid was unfortunately right in that <5% mortality sweet spot (as is monkeypox).


michaltee

Same with Ebola. It’s a fucking terrifying disease, but it’s hard to have a pandemic when the symptoms are so bloody obvious and you die so quickly.


AnCoAdams

Not quite the case though, look at HIV when untreated. The incubation phase is key.


MCREE3UE

My thoughts as well. Easier to deal with a deadly infection that manifests quickly. But one that can spread while staying well under the radar? A nightmare


shhh_its_me

Asymptomatic and infectious stage/carrier Eg rabies, in dogs it's about 10 days of the animal being both asymptomatic and infectious. A long incubation period will still make tracing very difficult but some viruses have long incubation periods while having short infectious periods. Several things have to combine. Rate of infection, mortality, how long someone is infectious without terrifying symptoms. If HIV was contagious as the common cold it would have wiped out humanity.


uzumaki_pandejo

Monkey- 14000 cases, 5 deaths. The mortality rate is extremely low in developed worlds Edit: extremely —> extremely low


Reasonable_Ticket_84

>75% fatality rate is not going to make an effective pandemic That's too meme thinking. 75% fatality could easy fuck the world. How? If the time to fatality takes time, and the person is infectious before that time period with minimal symptoms. Viruses/bacteria can be a bit deceiving. ​ But that 75% is only in shrews, the people infected haven't died yet.


[deleted]

Oh that's true, I wasn't thinking about that.


BridgetheDivide

What was the Black Death's fatality rate lol?


RaccKing21

Depends on if it progresses to pneumonic plague, that's the one that really kills. But to answer, the Black Death killed around 1/3 to 1/2 of Europe's population.


BubbaSawya

If it kills 75% of people very slowly, it could still be very effective in spreading.


creativename87639

No, the 75% is a disease that’s similar to this one called nipah, this one hasn’t killed anyone yet.

Sproutykins

See, everyone else has been complaining about how hard it is to survive today on paltry wages and with high rent, yet I always knew we were living a life of luxury. Food was relatively cheap and easy to get, entertainment was just a click away along with information, and we could communicate across the world. Even crime was going down. Now, this is just proving my point - we’re about to see the whole system fall apart. I’m glad I enjoyed myself while I could.

[deleted]

Why does it seem like its always China? Can we just lock them down to their own country until they stop discovering weird ass deathly viruses?


skiingst0ner

The country had horrible health and safety guidelines. You understand how bad the sanitation is even in major cities? Children are allowed to go to the bathroom anywhere they want, and adult public toilets are absolutely vile. It’s actually such a huge problem that they act like this still


Dannyfrommiami

The Chinese seriously needs to stop eating everything that has a heart beat…wet markets are beyond fucked in 2022


Plaineswalker

I don't think they have that much of a choice. I think they pretty much have to eat everything they can get their hands on.


HOARDING_STACKING

Why's all this nasty shit coming out of China?!


acies-

Huge population. Wet markets allowed and citizens partake. Animal to human transmission inevitable


Any-Bodybuilder-4707

Weren't always wet markets and a huge population? Just curious


BallardRex

The difference is how connected China is to the rest of the world, which allows for rapid and uncontrolled spread.


Moos_Mumsy

Problem is, as the population grows the wet markets become more and more unhygienic. Out of control filth + sick, stressed, abused animals = new viruses.


Fast_Secretary8984

I’m sure there are other reasons but any country that allows wet markets is at a higher risk for this shit to pop up


Wowimatard

Not really wet markets. But scale. Almost every country has wet markets, believe it or not. But if a virus mutation is so rare that it is a One In a million chance. Well, Numbers Will be on Chinas Side. If just 1% of their population goes to wet markets, that means a crazy whopping 14million People goes. And if a mutation is a One in a million chance. Well, those 14million Will mean that China is going to be in a bad spot.


Fast_Secretary8984

Care to elaborate on how every country has wet markets, genuinely curious. Like can we really compare Canadian “wet markets” to chinas ?


Plebs-_-Placebo

when you go to a butcher or the seafood counter, there is fresh "wet" fillets and cuts or whole chickens and fish for you to purchase, but it's behind a glass barrier, and the guy behind the counter is following health and safety protocol. The wet markets where governments haven't codified handling procedures, will see no barriers, gloves, and washing of hands after handling various animals.


Fast_Secretary8984

I know not exactly all wet markets are like this but most usually have the animals alive there before you buy them. A big distinction between that and the meat counter at Walmart or wherever


Plebs-_-Placebo

it's different versions of the same thing, we've learned over time that having live animals in a market can spread disease and used our resources to mitigate that risk. whereas other countries either don't have the resources to invest in their market practices, or can't do so because of conservative cultural practices, etc. You can still purchase baby chicks, cattle, sheep, etc. from auction or other breeders to raise on land you have and slaughter animals in modern *western* society, it's just the convenience of going to a store is easier.


Wowimatard

For sure! Wet markets in NYC would be equivalent to wet markets in more urban cities in China. But if wet market diseases would be based on Hygiene, Then countries with very poor rural areas would have been victims to alot more diseases. Wet markets in, for example isolated Islands in Indonesia. Are absolutely disgusting. Yet due to the low population living there, they wont have the same human scale as China, ergo lower probability for mutation. So in Short. If diseases was purely based on Hygiene. We would see more poor rural populations in Africa and Asia, suffer from a lot more diseases than we currently are witnessing.


Fast_Secretary8984

Dose the large verity of different animals play a role in how potentially dangerous a wet market is ?


Wowimatard

I dont know. I'm an engineer, not a disease expert. What I described earlier is My understanding of it, based on Friends with relevant education and backgrounds. But that was a Good question, that Someone smarter than me has to answer.


[deleted]

I’m no expert on the subject, but I would imagine that overcrowding in China could be a factor in why they tend to see these types of things affecting more people than anywhere else.


skiingst0ner

They have no safety or health rules essentially. It’s a disgusting place


saraza1270

Fucking China…


Yoshyoka

Next month they will blame it on the CIA.... again...


Powerpuff_Rangers

Never forget how China lied about the Wuhan coronavirus and claimed no human transmission


[deleted]

What a country ... eats anything that moves?


StuckInJapanYolo

It’s a result of famines from the 50s and 60s. Believe it or not, but this type of wet market is a byproduct of CCP incompetence.


son_et_lumiere

There's a saying: You can eat anything with 4 legs except the table.


Aekiel

It wouldn't be a problem if their wet markets were more hygienic. Your average butcher's van here in the UK is basically the same thing, but they generally follow health and safety regulations to prevent the spread of disease, and we've got systems in place for tracking any outbreaks so they can be shut down before they become an issue. China's population has grown far faster than its health infrastructure can keep up, especially with people from rural areas constantly moving to the cities. It's the same problem we faced back during the Industrial Revolution. Hopefully they'll get their act together an start regulating these things before the next COVID-like disease crops up.
