Ironically all the data shows that hantavirus isnβt a big deal because it doesnβt spread person to person unless itβs 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 wonβt get it.

He's got the 3-star Dragonball is the only useful thing I got from this.
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
Every single MAGA fucknut should follow their pedo and the toilet seat cocaine snorter's instructions. Bleach is going to be in short supply.
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. π€
Like the majority of Boomers? Iβm in.
Why couldn't it have been the hentaivirus?
He's thumbody special
The first to NOT comply, will be the first to goβ¦π«‘π«‘π«‘
Thank you for your service o7
Iβm waiting for the inevitable hantavirus parties. Gotta make sure little Timmy earns his immunity!
Or how about only wealthy elites getting away with having parties while everyone else is expected to quarantine?
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!
Look how terrified they are all the time
This but unironically
Brb, gonna do a line of mouse shit
I will NOT comprehend basic science.

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

Hanta has been a thing in chile since the 90s, I don't know what the fuss is about.
distractions to keep us from a few things.
Yup. There's also deaths from hantavirus every year in California. The problem is the variant, its the first time a lot of these countries are being exposed to the more contagious than usual form of hantavirus that in Chile & Argentina is known as Andean Hantavirus.
Chile has a long history of dealing with this and usually takes all the necessary precautions, but add some dumbass gringos (north americans and Europeans) into the mix and they basically go into a remote area and snort lines of mouse shit and then are surprised when they caught a really bad virus.
Argentina doesn't really take any precautioms afaik.

Yeah, the irony of this kind of meme saying "I will not live in fear" and yet they quite obviously are living every day in fear of conspiracies. Anyone who has read a few sentences of commentary is aware that Hantavirus is not going to be a pandemic.
We've known about coronaviruses since the 1960s
Yep, and scientists were saying for just as long how easy it could mutate and cause a global pandemic so governments should be prepared. >.>
At the moment, there is no cure or vaccine. Just like with Ebola, until a few years ago when some non-African people got infected, and they suddenly whipped up something.

I already said it doesn't matter if this virus becomes wide spread or not, US will never do another shut down - I'm fact to wipe us out just release a virus, most would rather die than stay home for a few weeks
The US was lucky to have an administration change when it did right as COVID19 took hold. Had the pedophile been running things any longer, the entire country would have burned to the ground.
"Inject bleach to kill the virus?" "Fire our smartest guy for.. reasons.." etc. etc.
