Anyone seen any updates on the following two items that have been discussed here fairly recently?
1. The hemorrhagic fever going around in China
2. The CDC monkey truck crash in PA
I've been trying to find updated information on these, but there hasn't been much recently.
In regards to the fever in China, it basically sounds like an Ebola type of virus, which would be horrendous if it's actually spreading in a Covid sort of way. I haven't heard that it is, but we all know how up front China is about disclosing information.
In regards to the monkey thing in PA, I have a lot of questions about that. If the monkeys were known to be carrying some sort of virus or disease, is it legal to transport them in the back of a truck as they did? Were the monkeys already exposed to lab testing? When the CDC representative arrived on site, why did they tell the woman to watch for symptoms and to notify her doctor of exposure? Did they know the monkeys were carrying something? What's the health of the lady now? Last I saw she was experiencing symptoms, and reported to the hospital as a precaution. However, if this lady got sick just by being in the vicinity of the monkeys, and started symptoms the very next day, that would have to be a very aggressive and fast replicating virus. Why did they kill the 3 monkeys that got away, even though they said they caught them first, then euthanized them? Are they going to release data on what virus the monkeys had? Like I said, lots of questions on that story, but it's gone quiet.
