I’m ready. I stopped eating mouse shit last thursday.
We all know that’s BS
Yes, but that’s the joke.
Not likely, OP. Human-to-human transmission is so rare that its existence was credibly disputed in 2021, and virologists collectively assert that public risk is quite low. Good to keep an eye on; just not probably healthy to “COVID-19 2.0” about it.
I’m just reposting from reddit. Have 0 medical background
It came from Reddit…
the human to human narrative is being pushed by media pushed by cruise industry advert dollars.
“We feed people rat shit” did not do well with focus groups.
The idea of human-to-human transmission is not some kind of fringe media panic. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that it could be human-to-human.
“We do believe that there may be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who have shared cabins,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention at the WHO, told reporters in Geneva.
It’s just that the spread would likely be limited, unlike COVID which is highly transmissible.
The thing you quote is a completely different situation than what the press is pushing around.
Care to share with the class? Is the Lügenpresse in the room with us right now? I just linked to “the press” who were pushing that WHO quote around.
The death rate is too high for it to ever be another covid. It would burn though it’s population of hosts too quickly
damn
Isn’t this just the mouse shit virus? It’s been around forever, if you have a house with mice you have a risk of getting it. The fear is that it’s deadly, not that it spreads rapidly.
Unless this is somehow a new strain, all this story has told me is the company is a running a naaaasty effing ship for 3 ppl to have gotten sick. Will be actively avoiding
This is the Andes strain which can pass from person to person.
Palacios said the window for transmission of the Andes virus appears to be short, about a day. People are at their peak of infectiousness on the day they develop a fever.
But the study also found that the virus could be passed relatively easily during this window, after periods of only brief proximity to someone else.
Awesome.
A flight attendant is now also suspected to be infected, so it could well be a strain with some human to human transmission.
That’s more disconcerting to me than the ship. Thanks for sharing
My Mom’s a pediatric oncology nurse and she said basically the same thing about COVID. “What’s the big deal, it’s been around forever.” Then bam the world shutdown.
My Mom’s a pediatric oncology nurse and she said
Dude, I’m sorry; it’s not the same thing. Virologists were freaking the fuck out about COVID-19. Your mom being qualified to nurse children with cancer does not qualify her literally at all to give a prediction on the virology of an emergent outbreak. You may as well have said she was a vet tech.
Some of the most medically uninformed people I have ever known have been nurses. They somehow all always want antibiotics to treat a (viral) cold.
Yeah, yeah, “all” is an exaggeration, but I don’t trust a nurse’s medical knowledge any more than I do that of any other random person.
Thanks for telling me the point I made…
Totally valid. I guess it’s a balance between panicking too early (cruise ships are literally just big petrie dishes), and identifying a valid pandemic threat. Either way, for the moment I’m more worried about the mice in my house
I guess we’re gonna all find out
Let’s just hope it isn’t a new, mutated strain - they would’ve noticed already if it was, right?
probably, had trump not dismantled the early warning teams across the globe.
now though? probably not.
…and cut US out of WHO surveillance updates.
Relax! It’s just one guy.
How about them Epstein files though?
Did it spread? Last I saw it was just a few cases onboard one ship.
A stewardess caught it in person-to-person transmission and is showing symptoms. 7 passengers are already home in the US. This strain can take a week or two to show symptoms.
Covid 2 Cruise ship Boogaloo
People really are just waiting for a world changing event. Sad really
lil bit of virus to speed up age/id verification
governments are “scrambling” to trace people who were on that shipHas a mich cooler Name, if you habe hentai virus you can comission one 10 second hentai Form an artist of your choice
Luckily hantavirus is too deadly to cause a global pandemic.
6 week incubation time is wiiiild though.
I thought the spider eggs were the worst of it
