Seems to be slowly creeping into the media the way Covid did. Also seen it being discussed on the news a few times.

Hopefully nothing to be worried about

Hopefully this is another Zuka or Ebola rather than Covid.

We're at the stage of getting drips of information but some of it conflicting

Ebola jeez hopefully not , it’s widespread and to get worse.

It was always obvious that Covid was different and was likely to turn into the pandemic that scientists had been warning of for decades. The similarities to cold and flu and the fact that it spread so easily, this does sound more some weird tropical disease rather than another potential pandemic but who knows. I hope I’m right.

I didn’t realise it was sexually transmitted. More like AIDS/HIV then I assume.

Joe’s concerned

It’s being passed exactly like that ,but it’s airborne aswell so anyone can catch it if they’re near an infected person, it’s also a 12 day incubation period before symptoms show so people can be infectious without knowing it.

Isnt that the exact way the virus gets out in 28 days later.

They say that films are made to foreshadow "their" plans so they can claim they told us .

Speaking of 28 Days Later when were in deepest lockdown someone drove around filing my empty home town with all the shops etc closed and put the music from it over the top. Was chilling.

These experiments should be carried out in the middle of the desert miles from civilisation not being driven on the highway .

That’s nice

Oh look a tattle thread about a virus
This is familiar

Seriously though thank you for this. It's always good when people are sharing info from different sources.
It's a mystery this isn't it? It's the amount of countries seeing cases that is the most puzzling part for me
