In this way it is worse than Rabies virus, it spreads by environmental contamination. Don't go drinking raw Date Palm sap. And be on the lookout for NIV infected people. There are definite behavioral symptoms of the infected.

A Nipah virus infection is a viral infection caused by the Nipah virus. Symptoms from infection vary from none to fever, cough, headache, shortness of breath, and confusion. This may worsen into a coma over a day or two, and 50 to 75% of those infected die. Complications can include inflammation of the brain and seizures following recovery.[2][1]

The Nipah virus (NiV) is a type of RNA virus in the genus Henipavirus, which normally circulates among fruit bats of the genus Pteropus.[7] Spread typically requires direct contact with an infected source; it can both spread between people and from other animals to people. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and confirmed by laboratory testing.[2][1]

Management is restricted to supportive care; as of 2021 there is neither vaccine nor specific treatment.[2] Preventive measures include avoiding exposure to bats and infected animals such as pigs, and not drinking raw date palm sap.[1] As of May 2018 about 700 human cases of Nipah virus were estimated to have occurred, and 50 to 75 percent of those infected died.[4][6][5]

Because NiV can be spread from person-to-person, standard infection control practices and proper barrier nursing techniques are important in preventing hospital-acquired infections (nosocomial transmission) in settings where a patient has confirmed or suspected NiV infection.


Says it is deadlier than Covid Virus, well, isn't everything?

Only though if it spreads will it kill more than half the people in the world, perhaps 4 billion. But I think this is unlikely, this is not a new virus.
Something this deadly and easy to spread, think that there is no medical care that works, those caring for the sick will also be infected. Society will collapse, it would be like the black death plagues of the past. No one would be untouched, and then who is going to grow the food and keep the lights on?
