Hantavirus But No Reason to Worry

A few people have died & others are sick after picking up Hantavirus on a cruise ship.

Hantavirus comes from rodent excretions. They seem to think a stop in Argentina may have exposed passengers to the virus.

Hantavirus is spread among humans by close contact. Supposedly, it's not transmitted as easily as other viruses.

There's no cure for Hantavirus. It has to run its course. People with healthy immune systems recover. Compromised folks may have a harder time.

The World Health Organization and other medical professionals are telling folks not to worry too much about the spread of Hantavirus. Guess they don't want the pandemic panic attacks.

In the meantime, passengers are being quarantined & traced. The media is running with scissors. 😁😎

More likely just another scare tactic.

I'm almost convinced now that if THESE people are actually reporting on it in the media, it's usually not too much of a threat.
They usually know more than what they're reporting and already know there's not much too it, so they hype it up to scare the public.

It it were a REAL threat, they'd probably keep quiet on it until social media forces their hand and they can no longer hide it from the public.

I learned this during the George Floyd riots back in 2020.

When it came to minor incidents like a few kids throwing bottles and wrestling with police officers in places like Baltimore and Ferguson Missouri....the media STAYED on the scene showing every detail of people just standing around chanting and yelling and being arrested.
But when it came to a full fledged riot/rebellion with building being burned and police being attacked....it took them 2 or 3 hours to even report the first fires being set. Social media had to tell people what was happening.

Not to be out-done, the Ebola virus has resurfaced in the Congo.

A couple hundred folks have died. No cure for the current virus.

Folks traveling back to America from over there are being quarantined in the 51st state, er, Canada.🤣😎

ProfD

Well.....
White folks are still in the Congo aren't they?
If White folks are still there, why are they surprised that Ebola, HIV, and other diseases are still there?
Duhhhh.......

As long as White folks are still there, don't be surprised if some NEW diseases that nobody has heard of before "mysteriously" pop up seemingly out of nowhere and have people dropping like flies.
