So this thing has been capable of human to human transmission for 30 years and has a 50% fatality rate? How are any of us still alive?

One, it's still up for debate.

Two, an infectious disease with a mortality rate that high generally makes people too sick and kills them too fast for it to be widely transmissible. Combine that with a pathogen that lacks robust transmission virulence factors and it's never going to result in widespread transmission.

Unless Fauci and his boys decided to do some gain of function research on it "just in case".

COVID at its worst had an overall mortality two orders of magnitude lower than that, and coronaviruses are inherently FAR more transmissible person to person than hantavirus.

Next time ask AI for its source and post that. Instead of telling us all what "AI says"

No one was worried about the Hanta virus when Gene Hackmans wife died from it last year because it's not election year.

That is a decent point but that was a case of animal to human transmission and not human to human, correct?

NYT summary of current situation:

Quote:
Three people have died. At least seven other people who were on the ship have fallen ill or tested positive, health officials said.

One is in France. The person tested positive and her condition is deteriorating.
Another person who tested positive is in Nebraska.
One man is in intensive care in Johannesburg.
The ship's doctor was "stable in isolation" after being evacuated to the Netherlands.
A man who was a guide on the ship was also stable and in isolation in the Netherlands.
A man who disembarked at St. Helena is hospitalized and in isolation in Switzerland.
The health authorities in Britain said on Friday that a British citizen, who had been onboard and disembarked on Tristan da Cunha, was suspected to have the virus. On Sunday, the British military executed a parachute mission to bring oxygen and experts to the remote island.

By today all passengers and some crew members will have been taken off the ship. The ship will continue to Rotterdam with 32 crew members, where it will be disinfected.

In late April, about 30 people from at least 12 countries also left the ship in St. Helena. That was more than a week before the first confirmed case of the virus was reported. The company has said it contacted the people who disembarked in St. Helena.

Who measures their dick-size in radius, my guy? I know you're a doctor, but...

seriously, do they measure by radius now? I thought length and circumference would do it justice.

Hard to find info specifically on the Andes variant as it is far less common but there is a general 40% mortality for the hantavirus across ALL age groups. General hantavirus is considered more common among 20-60yos but that is primarily because the stats are based on the rodent to people variants and people 20-60 make up the working class that would be more likely to be exposed.

So it's a hoax just like last time. Got it.

Are we still ignoring the fact that it's difficult to transmit Hauntavirus human-to-human except for inhaling infected rodent droppings or being exposed to those who were for exposed to the infected for extended periods of time?

If we are going to go off of monkey-pox infection transmission messaging, there's clearly nothing to be done about it. (There was, and we know what it was at the time, but no one had the gumption to say it out loud)

But the monkeypox epidemic was only covered tersely until it was found that certain types of sex transmitted it and then when young children started to get it, that messaging completely disappeared, somehow.

Not just masks, but she demands to know if anyone entering her courtroom has diarrhea.

This is bizarre. Academics opposed to meat consumption publish a paper arguing that the end goal of stopping humans from eating meat warrants a halt to attempts to stop the spread of Lone Star Tick disease as well as actively promoting the spread of Alpha/Gal.

Abstract excerpt:

Quote:
Keywords: eating meat | meat allergy | moral bioenhancement | tickborne syndrome | veganism
ABSTRACT
The bite of the lone star tick spreads alphagal syndrome (AGS), a condition whose only effect is the creation of a severe but
nonfatal red meat allergy. Public health departments warn against lone star ticks and AGS, and scientists are working to develop
an inoculation to AGS. Herein, we argue that if eating meat is morally impermissible, then efforts to prevent the spread of
tickborne AGS are also morally impermissible. After explaining the symptoms of AGS and how they are transmitted via ticks,
we argue that tickborne AGS is a moral bioenhancer if and when it motivates people to stop eating meat. We then defend what
we call the Convergence Argument: If xing prevents the world from becoming a significantly worse place, doesn't violate
anyone's rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, then xing is strongly pro tanto obligatory; promoting tickborne AGS
satisfies each of these conditions. Therefore, promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto obligatory. It is presently feasible to
genetically edit the diseasecarrying capacity of ticks. If this practice can be applied to ticks carrying AGS, then promoting the
proliferation of tickborne AGS is morally obligatory.
