We’re not looking for R below 1. If the mortality is 40% we should be aiming for NO transmission at all. Particularly as that would have been entirely achievable with a contained outbreak like this. Interesting that the “experts” haven’t realised we’d prefer NO deaths, to a few controlled ones.

A good point someone else made: if you're going to stock up on masks, do it now. Not just because there might be a run on them later, but because the mask material is made from petroleum, and we're heading into a huge global oil crash from Trump & Bibi's insane war on Iran.
Outbreaks definitely don't start via asymptomatic cases or transmission we never look for.
WHO is still using the term “close contact” - but this is not a mode of transmission. Repeated reports of transmission in crowded indoor spaces, prolonged interactions, and transport settings should raise concerns about airborne inhalation risk. 4/
Experts Unsure How Hantavirus Knows When Contact Is Social Rather Than Medical, But Insist That It Does
Relieved to see Dr Joseph Allen and his no-BS approach to the precautionary principle on @theweekendprime.bsky.social last night. If I hear the words "nothing to worry about" and "mild" from supposed public health officials one more time....🙄 #ItsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver youtu.be/rO4Xd5PfIo0
“Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science

If we still had 1. strong public health institutions, and 2. nations abided by Public Health Emergency of International Concern, PHEIC, and 3. the precautionary principle was adhered to, then we could say yeah “probably“ low risk. None appear to be true anymore, so maybe not low risk
The US Dept of Health & Human Svcs says someone has to be symptomatic to spread Andes hantavirus, but the European CDC states clearly on their page abt this outbreak that presymptomatic spread can occur. Also, this strain is transmissible via respiratory aerosols. www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/infectiou...

If by “credible people” you mean those who lagged behind the science in acknowledging that Covid 19 was airborne, forgive me if I’m not holding my breath for an adequate warning about this rare strain of hantavirus
And who will people blame if it turns out some of the passengers are infected and spread it to others? Hantavirus can take several weeks to show up. A casual approach to contagious diseases is self-defeating, literally.
ABC: A CDC official said the federal government doesn't plan to have the repatriated American cruise ship passengers quarantine upon arrival in Nebraska.
So covid is #airborne now? "The #WHO &health officials... have stressed that the risk of the outbreak spreading to wider populations is low & #hantavirus is only transmitted through close contact, unlike #airborne diseases such as #Covid19 " www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
American passengers aboard hantavirus-hit cruise ship will quarantine in Nebraska, CDC says
A team from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will meet the passengers in the Canary Islands before they are sent to Nebraska for quarantine.

I think everyone was flabbergasted that Trump could win. It completely reset their vision of the American people, how easily they could be manipulated and the riches they could grab for themselves, without any concern for consequences.

I hope that people in the medical community are seeing the link between #Bhattacharya’s overt adherence to Trumpism and the fact that he and Peter Thiel have been friends since their college days. He is part of the intentional destruction of US healthcare
More and more research keeps emerging that worryingly documents “How COVID Quietly Rewires the Brain,” but should you try to warn others about these findings you will be told to just be quiet.
I think that, for most people in the US, the promise of vaccines was “one and done.” So anyone who says “oh, you’re not done” doesn’t believe in vaccines.
Why do they always emphasize hand hygiene if clean air is so important? Because the air is their responsibility, and your hands are yours.
If nurses would just wear respirators at work, most wouldn't get this occupational disease. Healthcare settings should mandate respirators for employees and patients. Why do people lose their minds over respirators?
Many of us are incredibly angry that she has exposed people to Covid, in such a cavalier manner. Infecting people with preventable illness and potentially damaging their health, should never be acceptable.
"'Tidlig opsporing redder liv’, har man i årevis sagt om brystkræft." Ja, bortset fra de MAHA-agtige, meget højrøstede læger - spild-, overdiagnostik- og overbehandlingsagitatorerne - som jo ikke ligefrem har manglet spalteplads og taletid i mediernes sundhedsdebat. De bliver næppe glade nu.
»Imponerende studie«: Brystkræftscreening redder liv, selv når sygdommen har spredt sig
Det er ikke kun i de tidlige stadier, men også når brystkræft er fremskreden, at screening gør en livsvigtig forskel, viser nyt, overraskende studie.

Do not trust this co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration.
NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya says patients with ME/CFS, long COVID, vaccine injury and chronic Lyme are often gaslit and told their symptoms are psychological, making them feel crazy. He’s told NIH staff he wants to invest in finding real answers for these conditions.
Congratulations to Guinea Bissau and the global health community for successfully pushing back on dangerous experiments by anti-vaccine researchers.
Guinea-Bissau "terminated a contentious hepatitis B vaccine trial bankrolled by the Trump administration following a sharp ethical rebuke from the WHO, which warned the study risked causing irreversible harm to newborns" "It's not going to happen, period," said Foreign Minister Joao Bernardo Vieira
Covid is not seasonal. When public health officials say that they do not need precautions for covid (i.e., mandatory respirators in healthcare settings) outside of "winter respiratory illness season", they are lying. #CovidIsntOver #MedSky #IDSky #MaskUp #CovidIsAirborne
In case you thought "immunity debt" was dead: "During Covid, we had fewer social contacts. We disinfected our hands, wore masks and put our immune systems to sleep. As a result, many had less contact with common pathogens. Therefore, the immune system must first be trained again." 😑
