A new report this week outlined an increasing virus problem in Hong Kong, which is attached to mainland China, where rat hepatitis E is jumping from rats to humans for the first time in history, and no one seems to know how it’s happening.
The first case was reported in 2018 when infectious disease experts at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) examined a man who had just undergone a liver transplant and was having liver problems.
“Tests found that his immune system was responding to hepatitis E – but they couldn’t actually find the human strain of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) in his blood,” CNN reported. “With tests for that human strain of HEV negative, the researchers redesigned the diagnostic test, ran it again – and found, for the first time in history, rat hepatitis E in a human.”

scepticism. interesting term, scepticism. when the source of information has a solid record of feckless lying and deceit, secticism is called for when looking at the facts and evidence provided by that source. perhaps alternative sources of information and facts should be consulted before flying off in a tizzy over something that may not have actually happened. like: "weapons of mass destruction" or "voter ID is not necessary in elections" incidents which should have engendered a bit of scepticism on the part of decision makers.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess rats have something to do with it.
