38-year-old man being treated for the UK's 1st case of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever has died, hospital says

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is caused by infection with a tick-borne virus (Nairovirus) in the family Bunyaviridae. The disease was first characterized in the Crimea in 1944 and given the name Crimean hemorrhagic fever. It was then later recognized in 1969 as the cause of illness in the Congo, thus resulting in the current name of the disease.

In documented outbreaks of CCHF, fatality rates in hospitalized patients have ranged from 9% to as high as 50%.

Glasgow Crimean-Congo Viral Haemorrhagic Fever: Passengers monitored:

The 38-year-old patient was transferred to hospital in London on a special RAF isolation plane.

Two passengers who sat near a man who has Crimean-Congo Viral Haemorrhagic Fever (CCVHF) on a flight to Glasgow are being monitored as a precaution.

Just testing the biowar weapons.

The health authority said the risk to all other passengers was "extremely low" and advised anyone with concerns to contact NHS 24.

This is the first case of CCVHF in the UK.

Yesterday he was stable, Today.. Dead

Maybe but I think 9%-50% lethality is a bit sub-par for 'their' standards don't you? They like 90% at the very least IMHO.

Congo, so was he black?

Just returned from Kabul. That close to any jungles..

looks like it works.

that is unreal.

Or goat sex.

Shouldnta let the Congo into a nice, white nation.

This is what happens.

Interesting thread to see since I just finished watching 'Outbreak'.

Kabul, ground 0.

All the people in that flight should be hunted down and burned. You can never be too sure.

I bet they would take ten diseases with a 9-50% death rate over one virus with a 90% rate.

38=3+8=11



Another bio-agent roll-out.

The good news is that unless you kissed this patient, or he came on you, you won't catch it. Hemorrhagic fever is not air vectored.

But it's coming...

Yes, you are truly an Enem of the Stat.

Your point is?

Who's to say we understand all possible pathways..........

Your analysis is probably as useful and valid as your grasp of how to scale and upload an avatar.

SO IT BEGINS, AND THIS TIME IS FOR REAL.

You are such an ignorant jackass, why don't you do us all a favor and make your life synonymous with your alias.

Do you mean: as useful and AS valid as your grasp...?
I don't intend to get into a pissing contest with you, but you must be new to this site? Would you like to engage me in terms of my level of intelligence? If you must, the gauntlet is thrown down.

My terse point was: often times, numerology comes into play via the MSM. If you are not familiar with MSM, it refers to mainstream media and their obsession with 11, 13, 33, etc.

Tick bourne?

So doesn't that mean you have to have a tick bite to get this?

if I was a tick, i'd bite
