@IVoteClimate @howtoraiseajerk I also thought about this as I was grabbing fresh produce (that I will later cook) with my hands, and then touching all my other groceries... IS IT ON THE YOGHURT CONTAINER NOW? SPICE JARS?

I definitely remember several people referencing the 1918 Spanish Flu; and what we needed to do to prevent a repeat of history and rise of fascism. Since those warnings were from the LGBTQ community, the disabled community, and Black people, it was ignored and now here we are. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@JezziiB I have often wondered why a speculum is still a thing. We have nanotechnology cameras that can like watch a cell divide in your brain, but you still need the jaws of fucking life to check my cervix?

COVID has not been a reportable disease for years, but many people are still functioning like someone is still collecting case data in their area to send them an amber alert type text if cases are high

sometimes you have to just say “what a fucking loser ass bitch” and keep it pushing.

As I've said before:
People just won't be able to comprehend the long incubation period of hantavirus.

It's going to blow people's minds.
It will not compute.

white people on forced death march: well at least im getting my steps in!

[Don Ford - The People's Strategist - @DonEford]

Here's the problem I see with how the hantavirus outbreak is being handled...

While everyone is fighting over direct human-to-human spread via airborne transmission, this is not the normal method of transmission.

Normally, it's transmitted via aerosolized dried rat waste, which, btw, means it's always been airborne. But this also means that humans infected with hantavirus are creating infected human waste.

Some countries are gathering it for disposal, and others are not.

See, we could easily say hantavirus is endemic in rat populations worldwide, and all that separates the normal kind and the human-to-human kind is THREE amino acid changes.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins... so really small changes.

We have already seen animal reservoirs develop for SARS2, when infected human waste makes its way into animal drinking water...

And pumping Andes hantavirus into normal wastewater systems, where it will expose the local rat population, seems like a great way for us to establish endemic Andes variants of hantavirus in regions where hantavirus, a BSL-4 pathogen, was not normally transmissible between humans.

SARS2 is a BSL-3, but BSL-2 protections are incorrectly allowed by the WHO. Hantavirus is a BSL-4, and that's as high as the scale goes.

The possibility of the Andes variant replacing current endemic variants that are not human-to-human is on the table, and we have never had this variant in so many places at once, ever.

There is the potential to screw this up in ways that are hard to conceptualize, and other countries are collecting the infected human waste because they know this is a possible outcome.

So, no, this is not another COVID...

It could actually be much worse.

And the chances of it getting worse increase with every mishandling.

@Redkiraz The most important thing to do with international infectious disease incidents is to repatriate the potentially infected as quickly as possible and let them voluntarily quarantine as best they can from an isolated corner booth at Applebee’s.
