Just speculating on how they know it kills 80% of infected humans. Unless they intentionally infect some groups of people and test it and count.
The statistics on Nipah virus come from small outbreaks that occurred in India. The natural form of the virus infects fruit bats, and these bats really enjoy eating dates. When people eat dates that have been defecated on by the bats, they can catch the virus. This has probably been going on for a very long time. Fortunately, this natural virus does not seem to be terribly infectious to humans—otherwise we would have seen epidemics with millions of people dead, rather than the handful of actual recorded deaths. Of course, the whole point of “gain of function” research is to make viruses more infectious in humans…
