World Health Breaking News:
Unfortunate news coming from an area in India that we probably need to pay close attention to:
According to the article:
"Nipah is a deadly zoonotic virus carried mainly by fruit bats, with no approved vaccine or cure and a fatality rate that can reach 40–75 per cent. It causes flu‑like symptoms that can rapidly progress to brain inflammation (encephalitis), seizures, and coma, and is spread through contact with infected animals, contaminated food, or bodily fluids of infected people.
The virus was first identified in a 1999 outbreak among pig farmers in Malaysia and Singapore, and human cases and outbreaks have since recurred mainly in Bangladesh and India. It is classified by the World Health Organization as a high‑risk pathogen and priority disease for research because of its severe impact and epidemic potential."
Important facts and figures entirely from the article shows the following:
-Five confirmed Nipah virus cases have been reported in West Bengal, including infected doctors and nurses.
-Nearly 100 close contacts have been ordered to quarantine, and at least one patient is in critical condition.
-Authorities are isolating confirmed patients in hospitals around Kolkata.
-Officials are tracing and quarantining contacts to limit further spread.
-Public health guidance urges people to avoid bat‑contaminated fruit, maintain strict hygiene, and reduce close unprotected contact with suspected
cases.

It's truly astonishing how they can maintain such information censorship without the Great Firewall!

Funny how you're obsessing over something you claim to hate. Seems like you're less bothered by the trend itself and more upset that your favorites are following it. Methinks the lady doth protest too much!
Current American dominated western society is sex obsessed and sexually repressed at the same time, back in the 50s it was normal for women to walk arm in arm and even hold hands yet modern women don’t do this anymore out of habit and accusations of lesbianism, which in turn accounts for why so many women in the west take pharmaceuticals for sleep and depression. This is the desired outcome in a capitalist society.
This is real power right here, the Americans do not want to create the impression that they’re threatening China with full stack armies on its border so they are pulling back. Not to mention this could also be a sign of good faith on the part of the formerly smallpox blanket giving Americans, in showing their sincerity to China in hopes of getting some rare earths.
Seriously why do mods allow this?

The obvious and only conclusions that could be drawn at this point is that these extrajudicial executions are effectively policy.
The swiftness and consistency of things going from nothing to execution is impossible for anyone targeted to have any realistic chance to de-escalate once you are targeted. One second you are recording and talking, the next you are dogpiled, pistol whipped from all angles and pumped full of bullets within seconds.
With RoE like this, deaths are inevitable. And with the administration making zero efforts to rein in this behaviour when they could have easily gone with the standardised ‘bad apples’ excuse means that this behaviour is at a minimum condemned, if not outright encouraged.
That tracks with the broader purpose of ICE as Trump and MAGA’s personal paramilitary enforcers.
The goals of so blatantly using ICE in such a way is multifaceted.
Firstly, it is meant to intimidate and set examples to cow the masses. Behave, fall in line or we unleash the ICEtapo on you and turn your neighbourhood into legal kill zones where ICE can execute anyone who they don’t like the look of at any time with impunity. With an environment like that, it’s easier to keep your head down and look the other way.
Secondly, it secures the loyalty of ICE through such open displays of patronage by Trump, as well as through complicity in his crimes. It’s not so easy to turn your back on Trump and walk away if there is a real risk you will be hauled in front of a court alongside him.
One of the worst things, and the most likely thing that the democrats will do as things like this keep happening is make a big song and dance about holding ICE agents personally responsible for their actions by stripping them of their professional immunity. That will fire up their base, but it will also cement ICE’s loyalty to Trump.
I do not personally think a new American Civil War is imminent for many reasons. But Trump and his cliche are absolutely laying the foundations for seizing power and ending democracy, just so long as Trump can hold his nerve and doesn’t TACO at the last, which is also a real possibility. And with them in control of the national security apparatus, it’s far more likely that they will be able to isolate and eliminate all domestic opponents capable of putting up a serious challenge to their take over that no one will be able to organise enough of an opposition for it be come close to being a civil war. It will be one giant series of purges and lethal SWAT raids and ‘accidents’.
The only realistic scenario where things does escalate to Civil War is if there is a foreign state level actor willing and able to foster the opposition into open rebellion and provide enough material support that this opposition survives long enough to attract enough followers to achieve critical mass instead of being crushed after the first battle.
Ironically, the EU/NATO is actually the only viable entity able to act as this foreign support. Russia and China might have the material means and the will to support such a rebellion, but most Americans are too thoroughly trained to view both as the enemy for any movement openly supported by them to achieve grassroots acceptance. A American government in exile in Europe would be far more attractive to far more ordinary Americans. This may by the reason why Trump is so hell bent on undermining and even dismantling NATO.
>The primary natural carriers are fruit bats (Pteropus species); humans can become infected through direct contact with infected bats or other animals, or by consuming contaminated with bat saliva, urine or faeces.
>Scientific studies have identified fruit bats as the natural reservoir of the virus. Nipah virus has been isolated from bat urine in Malaysia, and antibodies have been detected in at least 23 bat species across Asia as well as in parts of Africa, including Ghana and Madagascar.
>Despite this wide animal reservoir, confirmed human outbreaks have so far been limited to South and Southeast Asia, typically occurring in rural or semi-rural settings where contact between humans, bats and domestic animals is more likely, WHO says.
>With no vaccine available, preventing Nipah virus infection relies on awareness and simple protective measures, global health agencies recommend. Public health advice focuses on reducing contact with the virus, whether from bats, animals, or infected people.
>Preventing bat-to-human transmission: Bats are the main carriers of Nipah. People should avoid consuming raw date palm sap or fruits that might have been contaminated by bats, WHO guidelines advise.
>Boiling fresh date palm juice and thoroughly washing or peeling fruits can reduce risk. Any fruit showing signs of bat bites should be discarded, the health agency advises.
>Preventing animal-to-human transmission: People handling sick animals, their tissues, or during slaughter should wear gloves and protective clothing. Contact with infected pigs should be minimised, and pig farms in areas with fruit bats should take steps to protect feed and enclosures from bats.
All those jai hinds keep taunting China about bats due to covid. Turns out they just wanted to one up them in this department.
If he Tacos then he and his family are good as dead.
