I'm thinking... Nipah virus outbreak in India, right?
I remember hearing about this one back in 2018 when Kerala had that major outbreak. Yeah, it was a real scare then too. So many people were worried about traveling to and from India. But, you know, the Indian government has always been on top of things when it comes to public health. They're like, super proactive.
I'm kinda relieved they were able to contain this one in West Bengal. I mean, 40-75% fatality rate? That's crazy!
Makes me glad no one died from this outbreak. But, at the same time, you can't help but think about all those contacts they had to test and monitor... that's a lot of stress for the health authorities.
I'm wondering what triggered this latest outbreak in West Bengal... was it something specific?
Anyway, good on India for keeping everyone safe. Fingers crossed no more Nipah outbreaks anytime soon!
gotta be glad India was able to contain that Nipah outbreak so quickly 
, but I'm still kinda worried about all these Asian countries beefing up their health screenings at airports... like, don't get me wrong, safety first and all that 
, but it feels like we're in some kind of never-ending flu season 
. And honestly, can't we just get a vaccine for this thing already? 
it's just so frustrating knowing there are limited treatment options out there... I mean, 40-75% fatality rate is crazy high 
!
! Like, I get it, Nipah outbreak is serious and all that... but seriously, why do health auths have to make us feel like we're walking around with a ticking time bomb? Can't they just give us straight answers for once?! 
Anyway, 196 contacts tested negative, which is good, I guess... but can we talk about airport security for a sec?! Thermal scanners and temp checks are cool, but what's the deal with "enhanced medical screening"? Is that like, extra tests or what?
