Nelson Bay orthoreovirus, often called Nelson Bay virus (NBV) is a novel double-stranded RNA orthoreovirus species first isolated from a flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) near Nelson Bay in New South Wales, Australia.[1][2]

The NBV has a morphology similar to other orthoreoviruses, but has a much more rapid cytopathic effect.[1]
gollark: If this is purely an investigational thing then sure, sounds fun. You may also want to investigate right-wing blogs, which I assume exist.
gollark: It's mostly the propaganda bit which would generate annoyance, if they plan to actually deploy that.
gollark: It could be *interesting*, but that depends on exactly how many people had the same idea.
gollark: The most likely outcome is probably just annoying significant quantities of people, I think.
gollark: Wow, this sounds like an excellent idea with no possible problems.
