Well?

What virus?

I don't want to click the link and read entire paragraphs unless it's weaponized anthrax or something.

here`s the name of it from the houston chronicle.



During a routine internal inspection on Wednesday and Thursday, UTMB officials realized one vial of a virus called Guanarito was not accounted for at the facility. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was notified immediately.

They stated:

The medical branch made the announcement Saturday afternoon, while stressing that there was no reason to believe there is a threat to the public.



This could be come a serious problem, please keep us posted as news develops OP!!.

History

From September 1989 through December 2006, the State of Portuguesa recorded 618 cases of VHF. Nearly all of the cases were individuals who worked or lived in Guanarito during the time they became infected. The case fatality rate was 23.1%.[3]


Presentation

VHF has many similarities to Lassa fever and to the arenavirus hemorrhagic fevers that occur in Argentina and Bolivia.[5] It causes fever and malaise followed by hemorrhagic manifestations and convulsions.[7] Some presentations of the virus are also characterized by vascular damage, bleeding diathesis, fever, and multiple organ involvement. Clinical diagnosis of VHF has proven to be difficult based on the nonspecific symptoms.[4] The disease is fatal in 30% of cases and is endemic to Portuguesa state and Barinas state in Venezuela.

Treatment and prevention for the VHF virus are limited and there are currently no licensed vaccines available that can act to prevent the disease [4] . However, once infected, Ribavirin, an anti-viral drug given intravenously, is one way to treat VHF.

DOOOM ON!!!

I think this is important , pinned it for you OP

Holy Shit, and that thing is airborne transmitted (aerosol dissemination).

Smoke blowing anyone ? Flare event? Hey watch this, to distract people from something other ?

Give it to GLP. That is good for spreading things.

I wonder when they are going to release the small pox virus from ATL georgia.

This virus has been released in Omaha, Nebraska. The center of the country.

Article said "a secure biomedical research facility". I recommend proofreading

No reason to believe it's a threat...cause it's a badass hemoragic fever virus with a 20+% mortality rate...and there's no vaccine for it...cause of stuff like that...so it's not a threat at all...really...

to follow

Anyone have the R nought on this stuff?

guano rito?

I guess Texas will eat most anything ina burito.

Because the virus is contracted by aerosol dissemination, concern arose shortly after the first cases emerged in 1989 due to fear of biological warfare. Potential biological terrorism agents were identified and categorized in 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the Congressional initiative to further response capabilities to biological weapons [4] . Arenaviruses causing hemorrhagic fevers, along with a genus of virus called filoviruses, were categorized in Category A; these are pathogens with the highest potential impact on public health safety.

I'll have to take a look and see if I can find the incubation time frame...

The only reason that a virus like Ebola hasn't decimated the world is because it kills people too fast...within a few days of exposure...

If anyone ever cuts loose a virus with a mortality rate on par with Ebola that takes say maybe 20-30 days to kill people from initial exposure and remains infectous that whole time?...pretty much the DOOM virus there...

mortality rate of 30% is not enough for TPTB, they probably misplaced the vial.

Give us a moment of time to see what we can do with it. Tweak it a bit...

From Venezuela...maybe re-name it "Chavez' Revenge"...or "Thanks Central America!~ Guanno eating fucktards Virus"

It's a virus with shoes!


The Hickians were right.
