A burn like that will kill before it can move.might be some pockets of death but people will actually take it seriously and stay put.

Could this be H5N1? I imagine it wouldn’t be listed as a mysterious illness if it was though…

[-]

buffaloraven@reddit

They’d have to have established it was H5N1, so it could be an airborne or otherwise transferable H5N1, which will happen and is gonna suck whenever it happens.

trailsman@reddit

Could be, could also be new variant of SARS-CoV-2.

This has been the big threat all along, we knew the threat of a variant with worse outcomes or that evading existing immunity or testing was non trivial, yet we acted like COVID was over. The CDC would label it a VOHC Variant of High concern. Heck just look at this quote from an August 6th update from the World Health Organization...

As the virus continues to evolve and spread, there is a growing risk of a more severe strain of the virus that could potentially evade detection systems and be unresponsive to medical intervention. Source

I'm not saying this event occurring is SARS-CoV-2, but the threat is very real.

reality72@reddit

In the article it says SARS-CoV 2 has been ruled out.

[-]

stuffitystuff@reddit

It could be SARS-CoV-3. Still coronavirus but a new enough one it escapes whatever sequencing they've done so far

[-]

trailsman@reddit

By genetic sequencing or by current rapid testing b/c if no genetically then still on the table.

[-]

UnvaxxedLoadForSale@reddit

Probably some domestic or foreign 3 letter agency testing new diseases on people like they have in the past.

Ok so now we have mystery illness, bird flu, mpox, and eastern equine flu. Wait I remember seeing a post recently about a swine flu. Did i miss one?

[-]

TrynaSaveTheWorld@reddit

You missed COVID, which is still happening.

[-]

CaramelMeowchiatto@reddit

Yeah, I just had it for the second time. First time was definitely worse, but this time sucked too.

[-]

TeranOrSolaran@reddit

Yes, but i feel kind of safe with covid. I’ve had it a few times so it’s a cold virus now.

[-]

emmeline8579@reddit

No the fuck it is not.

[-]

Radioactdave@reddit

West Nile and Dengue

[-]

TeranOrSolaran@reddit

Oh yes dengue! I forgot there has been reports of dengue.

[-]

Limestonecastle@reddit

Did i miss one?

I guess so. folks are freaking out about west nile virus around here as well althought it is very similar to EE

[-]

uski@reddit

Interesting how even doctors are downplaying the situation.

For Mpox the vaccine is now freely available to anyone who asks for it in my state. Instead of encouraging people to get it, some doctors literally laugh at patients and tell them to not do it because "it's for gay people"

It's like in 2020 when "Covid was only transmissive by contact and only dangerous for elderly people and only in Asia"

[-]

apology_pedant@reddit

You need to get a new doctor

[-]

deciduousredcoat@reddit

The prevailing speculation right now is that this is a mutation of either bird flu or covid. It's not a mystery illness, per se.

[-]

boracay302@reddit

India lacks plumbing and water infrastructure and trash pickup services.

Shit, piss and trash all over. Bound to pick up a disease or two.

[-]

i_make_it_look_easy@reddit

I don't have another pandemic in me.

[-]

deadlandsMarshal@reddit

Isn't there a little pandemic in all of us?

[-]

Yolo_Morganwg@reddit

Maybe not those of us who adapted to a "sorry you can only hang out with me outside" social life, but that's been a bitch and a half I wouldn't expect anyone to endure

[-]

I_eatPaperAllTheTime@reddit

Maybe the real pandemic was the friends we made along the way.

[-]

TheNightWitch@reddit

Same. I still have my Covid decorations up.

[-]

UnidentifiedBlobject@reddit

Wow you just made me realize that 5 years is coming up. Cause the D-19 in COVID-19 was for December 2019.

[-]

Specific-Sentence-86@reddit

Going to hell for laughing at this

[-]

SadCowboy-_-@reddit

Maybe not yet, but don’t worry.

It’s coming

[-]

LankyGuitar6528@reddit

No. I'm sorry. I am not available for additional pandemics at this time.

[-]

UnidentifiedBlobject@reddit

How about a regional epidemic, as a treat?

[-]

LankyGuitar6528@reddit

I guess... so long as it's no where near my region. I'm out otherwise.

[-]

JakeMex86@reddit

Many data still missing for a complete explanation. Was a pulmonary disease? Was a gastrointestinal disease? How can we know this deaths are related? Many diseases appear and kill following this exact pattern. Fever and death. I would not worry about this. Outbreaks come and go everyday everwhere. Trust in the public health surveilance strategies

It's respiratory: https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/ahmedabad/unknown-fever-kills-14-people-in-6-days-in-kutch-9557236/

[-]

Fuzzy-Row-5915@reddit

Doesn’t seem to be of major concern. Article states it does not appear to be communicable. Common to have infectious diseases spike when water sources are contaminated, which is the main concern per the article.

[-]

Toof@reddit

Can't wait to learn that this is resistant to all patent-expired therapies and a new drug/vaccine needs to be mass distributed to all governments for big pharma profits.

[-]

Corrupted_G_nome@reddit

That's how medicine works...

[-]

crusoe@reddit

Viruses adapt quickly to drugs and vaccine immunity

[-]

iusedtoski@reddit

Well, no, the resistance to patent-expired therapies doesn't always turn out to be true. But PR is not a truth-telling discipline, it's a public perception management discipline.

[-]

howmanysleeps@reddit

Nipah, maybe?

[-]

SpecialistOk3384@reddit

Yes. Lots of viruses on the table. Perhaps even a recombinant strain of who knows what.

Emergency Measures and Medical Preparations

Following the review, Patel informed the media that 48 new fever cases have been detected in seven villages within Lakhpat and Abdasa. The district administration has made several preparations to manage the crisis:

100 isolation beds have been set up.
30 ventilators and BiPAP machines are in place.
Cardiologists and two expert physicians have been deployed.
50 medical teams, led by MBBS doctors, are working in the affected areas.
