Maybe Crimean biological labs have something to do with the origin of this new more horrific disease.
That's something else, how each new disease is more contagious and horrible than the last one. Like escalating from gun battles, to mortar rounds, then missile attacks. What is the mother of all bio-weapons going to be like?
This is war, we need to start acting like it's a war. Gear up and go active, that's my intentions and advice.
from what i understand it was named Crimean Fever during the Crimean War, then in 1944 the soviet scientists started calling it Crimean hemorrhagic fever.
and it's name now is a combination of two places where outbreaks happened.
here's a wiki,
Quote:History
In ancient Celtic settlements in the Upper Danube area in Germany, the CCHF virus was detected in archaeological blood samples, indicating that it was endemic at the time.[45] The virus may have evolved around 1500–1100 BC. It is thought that changing climate and agricultural practices around this time could be behind its evolution.[9]
In the 12th century a case of a hemorrhagic disease reported from what is now Tajikistan may have been the first known case of Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever.[citation needed] During the Crimean War, the disease was known as "Crimean fever" and contracted by many, including Florence Nightingale.[46]
In 1944, Soviet scientists first identified the disease they called Crimean hemorrhagic fever in Crimea.[47] They established its viral etiology, but were unable to isolate the agent at that time.
In February 1967, virologists John P. Woodall, David Simpson, Ghislaine Courtois and others published initial reports on a virus they called the Congo virus.[48][49] In 1956, the Congo virus had first been isolated by physician Ghislaine Courtois, head of the Provincial Medical Laboratory, Stanleyville, in the Belgian Congo. Strain V3010, isolated by Courtois, was sent to the Rockefeller Foundation Virus Laboratory (RFVL) in New York City and found to be identical to another strain from Uganda, but to no other named virus at that time.[citation needed]
In June 1967, Soviet virologist Mikhail Chumakov registered an isolate from a fatal case that occurred in Samarkand in the Catalogue of Arthropod-borne Viruses.[50] In 1969, the Russian strain, which Chumakov had sent to the RFVL, was published to be identical to the Congo virus.[51]
In 1973, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses adopted Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus as the official name.[52]
These reports include records of the occurrence of the virus or antibodies to the virus from ebola Greece, Portugal, South Africa, Madagascar (the first isolation from there), the Maghreb, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq.[53][54][55]
