I just get Error: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER from Firefox and Edge.

also the font, the symptoms section, and looking at the html gives LLM vibes somehow

and seemingly no info on who made/operates it?

Are we? I feel like we're cruising and flying a boat full of potentially infected people to 23 counties.

Millions of people died and the main takeaway for the US seems to be giving up vaccines and cutting programs that would mitigate future disasters. Not sure how you've come to that conclusion.

I don't really think so. Already in the first stages of this outbreak we're not doing any quarantine, instead we're infecting airline passengers and personnel and let them spread the virus uncontrolled. That doesn't indicate a proper prepared response.

Official knowledge is that Hanta transmission required prolonged close contact, but there are increasingly indication that Hanta can be transmitted through the air. That is going to be ignored in favor of the official but possibly outdated mode of transmission, leading to wrong or insufficient response.

Also I feel like people will be more hesitant than in 2020 to adopt behavior that avoids virus transmission.

If mutated Hanta variants turn out to be very effective at transmission, and if we don't have the luck of a quick vaccin as we did with Covid, we're cooked.

Hanta is a lot more deadly than Covid, and that can possibly be a good thing because that's the one thing that could lead to proper effective response. It has the potential to lead to rigorous measures to stop transmission instead of allowing it to spread to the whole population, leading to fewer cases and fewer deaths.

Being a first mover in the panic-virus, I guess panic-anything is big bucks.

Just think! If we all start dying, this guy'll be rich from targeted bunker ads and such.

A radio report I heard said that hantavirus is nothing like coronavirus. It is not new, endemic, and there is plenty of immunity around to slow down local spread.

I'm not concerned at all. Should I be concerned?

You're missing the imperative to keep the populace depressed, apathetic and scared to death.

Generally the best time to deal with potential mass infections is before they become uncontrollable. If you act properly and stop a disaster before it becomes one, the situation will be indistinguishable from an overreaction.

There are reasons why this outbreak is slightly more newsworthy than others.

It happened to rich Westerners, not a bunch of poor people from Africa.

It happened on an international flight and a cruise ship. There is a lot of exposure. There are people being monitored for hantavirus being sent back to their respective countries.

People are having flashbacks of 2019/2020 and comparing the news coming out about this outbreak.

The political season is in full swing in the US and there is lots of finger pointing, especially around the health departments.

Because absent more evidence we don't yet know if this is a different variant of the Andes virus than the one people have had experience with. A lot hinges on whether this flight attendant is hospitalized out of an abundance of caution, or something entirely unrelated. But given that they came into relatively brief contact with an infected person, it would be significant if somehow she contracted it. A lot of people disembarked and went to various parts of the world. Combined with a long incubation period, that's a lot of guessing.

I hope that you are right and it keep being such. And that it would not be another December 2019.

In most cases, infected droppings are the primary source. But my understanding is that there does exist a strain that transmits between humans, and the cruise ship situation has just been confirmed to be that type.

The good news is that hantavirus has been around and known for a long time.

The Andes variant of Hanta is human transmissible.
