I don't usually comment but I'm just glad that India was able to contain this Nipah outbreak in West Bengal 
... it's like a huge relief for people who live there and for travelers who might have been affected by the news 
... 196 contacts tested negative? That's amazing, right? And I'm curious, why do health measures need to be taken for travelers arriving from India? Can't we just relax our travel restrictions now?

. Just what we all needed, another super deadly virus to worry about 
. I mean, who needs a vaccine when you've got fruit bats and pigs to carry it around? 
It's not like we haven't learned anything from COVID-19 or SARS... oh wait, we have 
. And what's up with all these other countries jumping into action? I guess it's better safe than sorry... or in this case, better Nipah-free than not 
.
. 196 contacts tested and all negative? that's like saying you've found zero new cases... sounds fishy to me 
. they're just saying this to keep us calm while more people might be infected 
.
. I mean, come on, West Bengal's been dealing with Nipah before, like in 2001 and 2007... what did you expect? 
The Indian Health Ministry is pretty good about keeping track of outbreaks, imo. All 196 contacts tested negative, that's some top-notch work 
. And yeah, no vaccine means we're stuck with supportive care only, but I guess that's the reality we live with when it comes to diseases like Nipah. Asia needs to step up its game, though... increased screenings at airports and border areas? It's about time!
