Has a New “Xi’an City” COVID Variant with Ebola-like Symptoms Escaped China?
European Conservative ^ | 01/13/22

Posted on 01/16/2022 7:33:29 AM PST by BusterDog

Xi’an City (population 13 million) was locked down on 23 December 2021, with authorities citing as justification two ostensibly unrelated outbreaks: one of COVID-19 originating with six persons infected with the Delta variant from a flight from Pakistan, and the second of an unspecified seasonal haemorrhagic fever.

Xi’an is a city three times larger than Los Angeles, responsible for 40% of Samsung’s global microchip output.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is all about frenetically maximising China’s economic output. It is simply not feasible that it would close such an important economic hub for six Delta cases, nor for any non-person-to-person contagious season haemorrhagic fever.

So the first question is: why lie? One obvious motivation for lying would be the Olympics. We all remember Mayor Larry Vaughn, who in the great 1975 film Jaws desperately sought to keep open Amity Island against the known threat of a great white shark prowling over the 4th of July holiday in the U.S. Think of President Xi as a seedier version of Mayor Vaughn, only in charge of a much bigger Amity Island.

“unspecified seasonal haemorrhagic fever”

Haha. I’m sure it’s nothing.

There’s a very easy way to sterilize the area.

Nuke it.

This problem can only be solved by 100% isolation of Communist China from the rest of the world. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out.

Rumor has it it’s Marburg.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About Marburg virus disease
Electron microscopic image depicting a number of Marburg virus virions.

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a rare but severe hemorrhagic fever which affects both people and non-human primates. MVD is caused by the Marburg virus, a genetically unique zoonotic (or, animal-borne) RNA virus of the filovirus family. The six species of Ebola virus are the only other known members of the filovirus family.

Marburg virus was first recognized in 1967, when outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever occurred simultaneously in laboratories in Marburg and Frankfurt, Germany and in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). Thirty-one people became ill, initially laboratory workers followed by several medical personnel and family members who had cared for them. Seven deaths were reported. The first people infected had been exposed to Ugandan imported African green monkeys or their tissues while conducting research. One additional case was diagnosed retrospectively.

The reservoir host of Marburg virus is the African fruit bat, Rousettus aegyptiacus. Fruit bats infected with Marburg virus do not show obvious signs of illness. Primates (including people) can become infected with Marburg virus, and may develop serious disease with high mortality. Further study is needed to determine if other species may also host the virus.

This Rousettus bat is a sighted, cave-dwelling bat widely distributed across Africa. Given the fruit bat’s wide distribution, more areas are potentially at risk for outbreaks of MVD than previously suspected. The virus is not known to be native to other continents, such as North America.

MVD typically appears in sporadic outbreaks throughout Africa. Laboratory confirmed cases in people have been reported in Uganda, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Angola, and South Africa. Many of the outbreaks started with male mine workers in bat-infested mines. The virus then spreads within their communities through cultural practices, under-protected family care settings, and under-protected health care staff. It is possible that sporadic, isolated cases occur as well, but go unrecognized.

Human cases of MVD have occurred outside Africa, such as during the 1967 outbreak, but are infrequent. In 2008, a Dutch tourist developed MVD after returning to the Netherlands from Uganda, and subsequently died. Also, in 2008, an American traveler developed MVD after returning to the US from Uganda and recovered. Both travelers had visited a well-known cave inhabited by fruit bats in a national park. See the History of Outbreaks table for a chronological list of known cases and outbreaks.

Good luck with that, the Winter Olympics are in China in less than 3 weeks, people from all over the world are flying to China in the middle of this outbreak, then flying home, talk about the mother of all Super Spreader events,
