Was that really your prompt?

Ironically all the data shows that hantavirus isn’t a big deal because it doesn’t spread person to person unless it’s the Andes strain. The stuff we see right now is sensationalist headlines for clicks and views. As long as you stay away from rodents you won’t get it.
The strain from the cruise ship is the Andes strain.
Avoiding rodents isn’t the answer to this one (still avoid them, that’s just not quite the correct answer here).
The risk to the average person is low for other reasons.
One difference is in the very fact that we can name the virus: we know more about how it spreads and the symptoms to look for. It’s not an unknown virus, unlike in 2020 when we were dealing with something we had never seen in humans before.
If someone does start to show symptoms it will be tested for earlier during diagnosis than it otherwise might be since hantavirus is in the news. Earlier detection will reduce spread (if we even reach that point, many of the passengers are in quarantine).
The other passengers being in quarantine is one of the biggest things lowering the risk.
The version on the cruise ship is the Andes strain.
COVID played a major part in my mother’s death, so I feel comfortable saying I welcome the hentavirus to our country. If all goes poorly, maybe it will take care of some of our more troublesome septuagenarians. 🤔
Oh yeah, I don’t want to see people die BUT the human population has reached a point where survival of the fittest isn’t a thing, so how we have complete morons all over.
Case in point. A plastic bag from a grocery store has “Do not put on head” printed on it. Here’s the problem 1. If you’re a small child that legitimately doesn’t know better, you can’t read, this is zero help. 2. If you can read it, you’re old enough to understand not to do it in the first place, and you’re a dip shit.
Just take the warning labels off obvious shit and let nature fix things. It’s that big of a deal to wear a mask at a minimum? Sure.
At least with the bag, it’s a reminder to tired parents not to let the child put the bag on its head, to tell the child about the danger, and not to leave the child alone with the bag because they’ll test it.
If they leave the child alone with the bag and a cat, the child will learn
23 lessons: fur helps prevent plastic bag suffocation, and claws/teeth can penetrate both the bag and human skin. Also cats prefer to choose whether and where to be enclosed.
Like the majority of Boomers? I’m in.
Americans are the most frightened people on earth.
No it’s really only the old stupid people
Americans are afraid of each other
They’re afraid of someone knocking on the door
They’re afraid their boss will fire them and they will lose their health insurance
They’re afraid of other countries
I spend a lot of time in the US, and I’ve never seen anywhere with people constantly on edge. They’re so used to it that they don’t notice any more
I’ve never seen anywhere so ruled by fear
They are afraid of people in public transit.
Their fear of others also drives them to get bigger and bigger cars, causing them to become even more detached from anyone who is not already close to them.
Everything is an arms race, and life is seen as a zero-sum game
Well if I was standing next to someone called “FistingEnthusiast” I might be quite fearful myself!
I’m harmless
That’s exactly what a fisting enthusiast would say. >:(
i think they seem nice
Thank you!
Maybe they just enjoy throwing their fist in the air in solidarity at things, or just merely fist bumping people? Harmless! ✊️
It’s all consensual.
stupid people
Unfortunately, that’s the majority of Americans.
When looking at the social anxiety epidemic across America, very much affecting young people, I’m sorry to say this is not true.
People think they’re unique in not wanting to pick up a phone to order a meal from a restaurant, but it’s everyone now. SO many people want to minimize social contact to an extreme degree. It’s part of why political opposition to rampant oppression is so lack luster.

On God fr. I’m just glad I can still carry my pocket knife without being labeled a terrorist
He’s got the 3-star Dragonball is the only useful thing I got from this.
I will NOT avoid ingesting mouse droppings.
It is my God-given right to find a rodent nest and motorboat it.
Made me gag. Well done!
I’m waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!
hantavirus parties<disease> partyHonestly: The most modern denialist version of ‘survival of the fittest’
Sadly those are the most likely to procreate :|Or how about only wealthy elites getting away with having parties while everyone else is expected to quarantine?
The wealthy elites will secretly receive experimental vaccines and stuff. Eugenics is only for the masses.
He’s thumbody special
Look how terrified they are all the time
This but unironically
Why couldn’t it have been the hentaivirus?
Ohhhhh
That’s why Trump chose a penis enlargement specialist for it instead of some competent virologist
Same image change my mind
Nah, Sontarans are smarter than that.
you don’t become an apex warrior being stupid… but potato head does have its own issues
they are basically a clone race, indefinitely producing soldiers to take over the universe.
Maybe, but I think a lot of Sontaran might comes from sheer numbers: “In the Sontaran Military Academy, we have hatchings of a million cadets at each muster parade.”
They both have a habit of misgendering people. At least the Sontarans do it because they’re a single-gender spices, rather than spite.
don’t you mean sprite
Sontaar hah, sontaarans are much more intelligent than that.

FUCK YEAH!!!
CAN’T REALIZE THE FAILURE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IF I DON’T LOOK TOO HARD
Looking too hard is for commie fucking liberals.
I JUST GOUGED MY OWN EYES OUT AND I’VE NEVER FELT FREER, EYES ARE FER WOKE PUSSIES. YEE FUCKIN HAWW, MOTHERFUCKER, WOOOO!
This was said by a British politician about the UK, but it feels a lot like it applies to the US too:
I think the people of this country have had enough of experts
Wasn’t that said to minimise the authority of experts rather than as a statement on the public? Specifically, Gove was trying to pass policies that the so called ‘experts’ were saying wouldn’t work so he tried to spin the narrative by saying politicians shouldn’t listen to experts and people should do what they’re told.
It seems to be a common social phenomenon, something about how our human brains are wired. People have expert knowledge - burn the witches! China’s Great Leap Forward, the Cambodian genocide under Khmer Rouge, and on and on. I hate that we as a society haven’t figured out how to avoid this yet.
I cross the street whenever I need to, without checking for danger. I never lock the doors. I don’t check to make sure I turned off the stove. I don’t wear seat belts. I go into the homes of sketchy strangers. CAUSE I DON’T LIVE IN FEAR/S
