India is scrambling to contain the Nipah virus, a lethal pathogen that has transferred to humans from bats and currently has no cure or treatment.
5 human cases are confirmed and over 100 people are already quarantined.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nipah outbreaks occur nearly every year in parts of Asia, often in India. Treatment exists: m102.4, remdesivir used clinically. Mortality varies by strain/region (40-75% per WHO, higher in India).
