.... ? Second death ... cannot be passed human to human but mosquitos are harder to avoid than humans NSW records first death from Japanese encephalitis
Slightly off topic.....I think we've seen with relative certainty that during a pandemic, people flee the cities. For that reason, it may be prudent to have one regional IP in their portfolio, ideally in a desirable location you can escape to yourself.
They have..and they constitute 100% of what I own. I've done very nicely from them and most unexpectedly so in the last 2 years. But I can't help thinking I should've bought ONE regional property...something close to Noosa or Byron when it didn't seem exorbitant. That ship has sailed sadly. But you never know, during a protracted downturn, those discretionary holiday homes will be the first ones on the chopping block.
Another one which may necessitate a booster shot. Table. Recommended doses of Japanese encephalitis vaccines | The Australian Immunisation Handbook
I love how the CCP is waging this propaganda war against India, with one of it's (obviously BS) messages being they're dirty people. And yet, they've just had a hat trick of bird flu viruses. Go CCP.
Chinese Communist Party. When they had their political issues with India my uncle was saying there was just non-stop misinformation about Indian people and culture to paint them in a negative light, all over major state-sponsored TV, newspapers etc. He was talking about how bloody petty and downright racist a lot of it was.
Take note - if you start scratching and craving banana's ... First 'probable' case of monkeypox identified in NSW
There is one just around the corner. You know it.. waiting in the dark corner somewhere like the boogie man.
NSW Health on Facebook NSW Health has identified a probable case of monkeypox in a recently returned traveller to Europe. A man in his 40s developed a mild illness several days after arriving back in Sydney. He subsequently presented to his GP with symptoms clinically compatible with monkeypox. Urgent testing was carried out which has today identified a probable case of monkeypox, with confirmatory testing underway. The man and a household contact are isolating at home, with care and support being provided by their GP and NSW Health. Cases of monkeypox have been identified in several non-endemic countries in recent weeks, including several European countries and the United States. NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said NSW Health has taken steps to ensure it identifies and appropriately managed any potential monkeypox cases. “NSW Health has issued a clinician alert to GPs and hospitals across the state and has also been in contact with sexual health services to increase awareness of the cases identified overseas and to provide advice on diagnosis and referral. We will be speaking with GPs about this issue again today,” Dr Chant said. Dr Chant said monkeypox is a rare viral infection that does not spread easily between people and is usually associated with travel to Central or West Africa, where it is endemic. “Cases are occasionally reported in non endemic countries in returning travellers or their close contacts, or in owners of imported pets. People can contract monkeypox through very close contact with people who are infected with the virus,” Dr Chant said. “The infection is usually a mild illness and most people recover within a few weeks.” NSW Health will continue to work closely with its colleagues throughout Australia to monitor for cases and ensure the best clinical response if any are identified.

Just stop eating animals (or doing other things that I won't mention here) already! Most endemics/pandemics originate because of it.
WHO - Monkeypox Key facts Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus, a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions. Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications. Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms lasting from 2 to 4 weeks. Severe cases can occur. In recent times, the case fatality ratio has been around 3-6%. Monkeypox is transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person or animal, or with material contaminated with the virus. Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding. The clinical presentation of monkeypox resembles that of smallpox, a related orthopoxvirus infection which was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980. Monkeypox is less contagious than smallpox and causes less severe illness. Vaccines used during the smallpox eradication programme also provided protection against monkeypox. Newer vaccines have been developed of which one has been approved for prevention of monkeypox An antiviral agent developed for the treatment of smallpox has also been licensed for the treatment of monkeypox.
