Hey Everyone here is the link to the FAKE ARTICLE someone made up , the LQP-79 virus is nothing, if you do a search you get very little on the virus it self.

Yeah it's obviously not true, but by making people think about where they're getting their information from, it makes them think about how valid the information actually is.

Well the information was passed on to me by word of mouth and found no information on it so that's why I inquired. I'm new to this website so I apologize for assuming that's what threads could be used for.

You can definitely come to the site and post asking about questions like you did, however you should elaborate a bit more when asking so as to make sure no one gets information wrong. Its no worries and we are all here to discuss these types of topics, :)...

LQP-79 is not a virus, it's a theorized bacteria, not even fully discovered yet, only hinted about. It originated from a BS facebook post, and has spread like herpes. There is absolutely no basis to the story circulating

Rumors are easy to check... took me about 40 seconds the first time I heard the story.

Is this the only thread about that man eating that guys face off? In my opinion they jumped to conclusions blaming it on bath salts right away. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I think that guy was probably just a drug addict, pcp, crystal meth, god knows what he was on. I think it's safe to say he wasn't a zombie though

yeah what people are failing to realize is that it's pure evil, plain and simple, it can certainly originate from bio weaponry, bio terrorism, or just good ole judgment day, or maybe a drug, maybe that's the glue that holds it all together... i dont know but with everyone's knowledge we have to spread awareness no matter what. 0  out of 1 found this valuable.

There's nothing to spread awareness about. The most helpful thing everyone who is watching these situations can do, is rumor control. There is plenty of valid information out there, and it is scary enough. When the embellishments, and theories enter the picture unsubstantiated, then it clouds the actual event.

If these events still make you nervous, then the best thing to do is research. If you hear a rumor that concerns you, try to verify it. If you see a story that seems to outlandish to possibly be true, it likely isn't. A few minutes trying to verify the information will usually disprove the article, and make you more at ease.

When we're "keeping an eye on" sensational events like this, it's easy to get wrapped up in the craziness of it, instead of separating out fact from BS. When you take all the guesses out of it, and the obvious strain to make all of them connected... it's just another crazy thing that happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm still following the story(ies), but I'm not boarding up the windows quite yet.

It's not a hoax. It has to do with the Miami man attack is was covered up with bath salt saying he was high on it . He tested positive for the virus and other have been now affected and qurintined . It's in the news and they showed the mans face that was attacked . You can't even tell he's human anymore. I beleave it these synthetic drugs . A young girl got a hold of some in Houston Texas she went crazy and now is relearning everything. It's very scary. Do you find this valuable?

I looked at a couple of web sites, and all the ones that say that it`s real look like some of the least reliable sites on the web. They are covered in stupid lying ads like, 1 GREAT TRICK TO GET RIPPED!!!!
Also, if this virus is so contagious, how come there haven`t been previous reports?

Source on that? I'm pretty sure he wasn't tested for this "virus" and he was shot and killed at the scene. Yes his blood showed he had some drugs in his system (bath salts) but no virus was ever talked about.
