Monkey deaths in Hong Kong

This is like an opening scene in a movie… waking up, coffee in hand, seeing/reading this article. Eight overnight with no mention of previously observed illness. Not good at all. Poor monkeys.

Wait didn’t the novel Hot Zone start like this?

[-]

More or less, yes. Hot zone opens up with a ex pat Frenchman living in the bush getting sick and infection an African doctor who somehow survives. The expats body basically dissolved from the Inside out. Then they get to the monkeys…. Still not good. Encourage everyone to read it.

mintyboom@reddit

Heads up for new readers - Hot Zone is nonfiction!

69bonobos@reddit

It's about Marburg virus, isn't it? Or ebola virus? Regardless, an absolutely terrifying movie and book.

Ebola is memory serves. Both as Google serves!!

Thanks! I fixed my original comment.

I read it in jr. high and it’s stuck with me ever since. Absolutely terrifying.

This was how the book ended, IIRC. Ebola Reston was the chapter about a monkey house in Virginia where an unusual form of Ebola spread among the monkey supposedly airborne, it I think the reality was they were throwing poop around.

orchidaceae007@reddit

So airborne - still technically correct Sorry, had to. This is Reddit after all. Hehe I need to read this book again though, it’s a fantastic cautionary tale.

What about my feelings? Don't my feelings count for anything? Oh, only the poor monkey's important. Everything has to be done for the monkey!

You're in a sub called r/PrepperIntel and the headlines sound movie like? No way!

Bro… what the fuck is going on in China.

And what did my prepper uncle do when he heard about Covid? Thought it was a hoax. Prepped out the ass for every little thing and he got axed by the most telegraphed and obvious illness. Waited until it was too late to get medical help. Begged for death in the end. Get vaccinated and stay healthy y’all.

throwawayoleander@reddit

I mean.... he smelt something fishy, and they did finally come clean about an intergovernmental obfuscation/misinformation campaign whereby the govt and media shamed lab-leak theorists. Like it was a kind of hoax, just not the type he thought.

And yeah get vaxed of you want, but moreover we should still be calling for eniminent domain of the IP of vaccines so the whole world can get vaxed at the same time towards eradicating it like Polio, instead of enabling a big pharma profit scheme like a new type of yearly flu shot. People over profits.

He smelt what he thought was fishy and died for it. I agree 100% that the vaccine patents should be released. Especially with all the public dollars that helped the development.

Not falling for this again

[-]

Corey307@reddit

When did you previously fall for this?

[-]

richardsneeze@reddit

Maybe they're a time traveler?

[-]

JadedBoyfriend@reddit

If they are, they are a fucking idiot because they should've told us about COVID and how millions of people would end up dying. Instead, they wasted their time complaining on reddit about "falling for this again".

[-]

richardsneeze@reddit

What would you do with a time machine?

[-]

JadedBoyfriend@reddit

It's a great question. I'd fix a lot of issues, but I'd also be well aware that new futures could be developed and there'd be alternate timelines.

BringbackDreamBars@reddit

Hoping this is something benign and can be controlled to protect the remaining animals.

Agree on the "start of the disaster movie" vibes through

[-]

Papadapalopolous@reddit

It’s probably just a little airborne Marburgs

[-]

max5015@reddit

The hot zone is definitely what popped in my head too

[-]

Coro-NO-Ra@reddit

Or some fucker just straight-up poisoned them

Cooldude67679@reddit

With those monkey hate channels being very common, this is a very unfortunate thing that could be the case.

[-]

SurfSandFish@reddit

Fuuuuuuuuuck that. Lol

kittykathazzard@reddit

Didn’t Outbrek start out with monkeys dying and spreading disease ?

Slackersr@reddit

The CDC just announced they are pulling Faucci out of retirement. Apparently it will be double jabs this time. Sounds like it enters through the ears so prepare to wear one mask over each each one.
