BREAKING NEWS: China discovers another fatal virus which could trigger another pandemic

China has discovered a new, potentially fatal virus within its borders, which experts say could trigger another pandemic.


According to Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control, the Langya Henipavirus, also known as "Langya," has already infected 35 people.

According to authorities, the patients had no close contact or common exposure history, implying that human infections are sporadic.

Meanwhile, Taiwan's Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is developing a nucleic acid testing method to identify and control the virus's spread.

The virus belongs to the same family as the Hendra and Nipah viruses.

It is a virus that had never infected humans before this outbreak. As a result, there are many unanswered questions.

According to WHO data, Henipavirus has a fatality rate of 40-75%.

Fever, headache, cough, fatigue, and other symptoms are common.

According to a New England Journal of Medicine report, the infected patients had a history of contact with animals.

According to the Taipei Times, the Langya henipavirus has been discovered in China's Shandong and Henan provinces and can be transmitted from animals to humans.
