This is the most public I’ve seen someone who actually understands this is “Andes variant”…
Not just America, but lots of countries are pretending that this is regular Hanta and not the Andes variant.
Officials keep saying it’s not respiratory, it’s not human to human, and it’s no big deal…
None of that is true for Andes, and because of that we started studying this variant years ago, because we have no way to fight it, and it could cause a devastating pandemic…
In 2024, the NIH identified several families of viruses — including hantaviruses — that were extremely dangerous and had no effective vaccines or treatments, making them of special concern for their potential to cause a pandemic. To better prepare for future pandemics, the NIH awarded a series of grants through the ReVAMPP program to study these viruses and develop new tools to combat them, including the grant that established the Provident consortium and enabled this latest study. McLellan and other Provident researchers have simultaneously been working to find ways to address other viruses that health officials have identified as especially dangerous in an outbreak, such as measles and Nipah virus.
Like, multiple people are starting to show symptoms on evac flights, they 100% infected everyone on their plane. But we’re only doing two week quarantines after the flight, and it can take 6 weeks for symptoms and transmission
We’re fucking it all up again and no one cares, maybe we’ll get lucky, but I don’t think so.
Edit:
One Italian started displaying symptoms on the evac flight…
One Spanish passenger showed symptoms of the flight (but at least used containment pods)…
One French passenger…
Two US passengers…
But we’re all still just doing two week quarantine, this is 100% getting out into the general public.
I fucking hate being Cassandra
unless r is a lot higher than 1, you’re working yourself into an unnecessary panic (and Andean Hantavirus is about 1.2)
No, the last big outbreak was 2.1…
Here, check out an actual source:
In the 2018–2019 Epuyén outbreak, 34 confirmed cases were linked to one index case, with transmission apparently amplified by symptomatic individuals attending >crowded social events, followed by subsequent close-contact transmissions. Epidemiological analysis estimated >an initial median reproductive number of approximately 2.1 before control measures were implemented, >decreasing after isolation, quarantine and active contact tracing.

But hey, maybe you just know more than who release that statement…
Let’s see, that was the checks notes, International Hantavirus Society
Do you believe you know more about Hantavirus than the International Hantavirus Society?
Do you know we have asymptomatic carriers now too?
2.1? And only after close contact and reducing after isolation. Pfft… pathetic. Let me know when it becomes a real epidemic that actually spreads properly. This isn’t worth worrying about.
Hey OP, is there any particular reason you’re trying to scare yourself? Are you prone to overly dramatic outbursts of panic or is this a new thing? Do you need to speak to someone? Are you okay?
Btw. Sister is an epidemiologolst who has worked for WHO previously. Wife is a public health officer. Neither of them are worried.
Jfc the alarmist bullshit your smearing around because you watched a video BY THE FEAR MONGERING NEWS MEDIA WHOSE SOLE DESIRE IS TO CAUSE RAMPANT FEAR AND ANGER TO TRICK YOU INTO BEING GLUED TO THE NEWS
Your not a misinformation-quelling crusader, your a misinformed alarmist panicking at the drop of a hat because you don’t know shit
Calm the fuck down. We all got traumatized by COVID but this is not COVID and if you actually did any real digging outside of garbage US media you would find the global fucking consensus is that you need to shut the fuck up because the risk is very low
The amount of people who think they know everything in the modern age and then go shouting from the rooftops like they’re going to be the saviour of humanity is too damn high
You do not know how to find credible sources, you do not do enough digging and gathering of opinions, you are the fucking problem, posting on c/videos to soapbox like you know dickb
I rather enjoyed this lashing, and I appreciate the sane take amidst a sea of nonsensical panic and rumors.
Ivermectin and ingesting Lysol will protect you.
Don’t forget the crucial lightbulb up the ass.
Mine keep breaking, can you suggest any strong brands?
