Anyone else worried about the Hantavirus?

I’m a 3/10 concern level about this.

Only because we all survived a modern day pandemic that lasted years.

I do think there will be a little bit more casualties but I don’t think it will be anywhere as near as close as May 2020 - May 2023. That was the definition of a epidemic.

(I will be definitely walking around with a mask 😷)
 
A pandemic response team? At the federal level? After DOGE gutted tons of programs last year?

Time to start wearing a mask when going out again

The pandemic response team was dismantled early in Trump's first term. That's the joke.
 
17 American passengers arrived back in the US on Monday. SEVENTEEN.
Some of which are symptomatic and one tested positive.
I hope the containment efforts were followed strictly because that’s probably enough people to start something
 
I am immunocompromised and now have a greater chance of getting sick (tend to get sick after my kids get sick), so, yeah. I am concerned about this information.

I know the RFK-led CDC is going to continue to do nothing and try to play down the seriousness of it.

Same here buddy. 100% immunocompromised due to being a transplant patient. And this ******* administration is NOT going to screw up a 22+ year continuous new life. NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I'll take my own health and care into my own hands. Masks, hand sanitizer, and try NOT to be indoors where larger crowds will be.

And if anyone who claims they have done their "own research" and all that other BS, I got one thing to say.... DON'T SPEAK TO ME! I take modern science & modern medicine VERY seriously and VERY literally. It has a saved my life now 4 times, and given my life back when I was so sick and couldn't do anything nor be away from a bathroom for more than 15 minutes. 😢

AND with this ****** up Administration and a coke snorting lunatic quack who loves to mess with roadkill and dead animals (and do some sick crap to them), and with DOGE destroying any form of a pandemic response team, IF this gets out of hand, we are ROYALLY ******! 😰😭

Yes, I'm scared. Frankly terrified as I know NO ONE in charge gives a ****! And no vaccine due to RFK, so there's that. I know for a fact that had not gotten the first vaccine back in mid 2020, because when I got Covid for the 1s time in January 2021, I would have been on a ventilator as I had NEVER been that sick in my life. 2 weeks of hell, and I've been through some SERIOUSLY wicked medical **** in my life.

I hope I'm wrong but knowing Trump, and his brood and lackeys, I'm not, sadly. 😞

This was the X-Files movie, Fight the Future. From 1998 I believe. And this is the 1st thing I thought of, as I remember clearly and vividly this scene (it's because I was an X-Files junkie growing up.)
 
Unfortunately, at least in our lifetimes and probably the next, this country will never shutdown or quarantine at scale again. COVID genuinely broke something in people's brains and asking people to be good neighbors and help those more vulnerable was a step too far for a lot of people.

Short of the actual plague returning i.e. something that causes horrible, visible suffering, I just don't see the country quarantining again no matter how many people get sick and die.

All that would mean is even more ppl will get sick and/or die. You don’t really have to be a good neighbor or help the more vulnerable to quarantine. It’s self preservation.

The idea that ppl would be so stubborn to just keep socializing and going to work as if a deadly virus isn’t spreading is crazy and hilarious though. Risking death just to not quarantine.

This can’t be good….
 
maybe its early to tell. problem with pandemics is like the last time once it becomes widespread its difficult or not possible to control or contain it. And I don’t want side eyes, laughter or nasty looks if I wear masks again.
