Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.
Comment on Warning over deadly virus after bat bites Pilbara woman
HalfEarthMedic@slrpnk.net 1 week agoTreating bat bites as serious in areas with lyssavirus, which is incurable once it starts showing symptoms, is very typical. Transmission to humans is uncommon but ruling it out is literally deadly serious.

Incurable once you’re symptomatic, and, to be totally clear for anyone not aware, invariably fatal. It’s a horrible death, too. Also, the incubation period can be anywhere from a few weeks to two years.
The ABC article could have benefited from making that clearer. It calls the virus ‘deadly’, but doesn’t impress upon the reader just how deadly.
