British newspaper "The Guardian" revealed that the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of a new deadly virus that was discovered in Malaysia in 1999, and the death rate reached 40-75%, while the infection spreads very quickly, and there is no treatment for it yet.
Bats are a type of flying foxes, the main carrier of the "Nipah" virus in nature, especially in China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Australia.
Infection of people with the virus occurs after contact with sick pigs, as well as a result of eating fruits, especially dates, which are contaminated with the secretions of fruit bats.
The organization called for limiting the access of flying foxes to date palms to prevent the virus, as well as washing the fruits well.
And the organization warned earlier, that the West Nile virus can quickly destroy humanity, and it is resistant to antibiotics. Among the deadly diseases are measles, acute flaccid myelitis, yellow fever, dengue fever, plague, and smallpox.
Experts say that no country in the world is prepared to confront an influenza-like disease that could spread to the whole planet in 36 hours.
Scientists from the Johns Hopkins University Medical Research Center have reached this conclusion.
Experts believe that the global pandemic will quickly kill tens of millions of people, and there are only 13 countries able to overcome the inevitable epidemic, including the United Kingdom (UK), the United States of America, Australia, Canada, France, and the Netherlands, but according to the scientists, these countries will not last for long.
Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Norway are less prepared for the global pandemic, according to the newspaper "Daily Mail".
Because of poor immunization, African countries are not prepared to fight the pandemic at all.
Specialists from the Medical Research Center called on governments to allocate sufficient funds for necessary medical equipment in their report, as well as to establish "educational warnings" to prepare the population.
