No, you focus.
If the aforementioned task is too difficult for you to understand the slippery slope between socialism and communism, then take a simpler approach and tell me how socialism in Canada is working out. Roads are shit, healthcare is shit, schools are shit — you know, all the things you bragged up before. Taxes continue to rise on every level from municipal to federal levels and yet quality of services continues to degrade.
You know what is thriving in Canada? MAiD. I’ll give you that one. Congrats 👏
@IanRunkle I’ve seen utter crap like:
“The outrage is ridiculous, they were clearly just joking!”
And…
“But what does this have to do with KAREN READ?!!!!!”
🥴🥴🥴
There is exactly one hantavirus that transmits between humans. It's been on a cruise ship for three weeks, and the ship is now locked out of port.
The MV Hondius boarded passengers in Ushuaia, Argentina. Gateway to Antarctica, southern tip of Patagonia. The Andes virus is endemic here. In late 2018, the Patagonian town of Epuyén, 870 miles from Ushuaia, had an outbreak that killed at least 11 people through person-to-person spread. The only known hantavirus that does this.
Every other strain, including the Sin Nombre virus that killed Gene Hackman's wife last year, requires you to inhale aerosolized rodent urine or droppings in an enclosed dry space. Deer mice. Dust. Stale air. No human-to-human transmission.
Andes broke that rule. The Hondius left Ushuaia three weeks ago, then visited Antarctica, the Falklands, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena, and Ascension before anchoring off Cape Verde. Hantavirus incubation runs 1 to 8 weeks. The voyage was exactly that window.
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome kills 38% of symptomatic cases per CDC. Lungs fill with fluid. No cure exists. One UK passenger has lab-confirmed Andes hantavirus and is in ICU in Johannesburg. Five other suspected cases on board. Cape Verde will not let them dock. 149 people remain at anchor, including 17 Americans.
The doctor CNN interviewed said his first reaction was that the report had to be a misprint. It would have been, if the ship had departed from anywhere else.
@wohskraps Acknowledging this means you’re not pretending, in the important sense anyways, imho. Sure you might feel like you’re faking it at times, but I don’t think you realize that you’re building even bigger superpowers now brother.
