https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r8j1l6j0go Pandemic 2.0 ? Experts say the risk is low. Let’s hope they are right. Lockdowns, social distancing, vaccine mandates, mandatory face masks, travel bans . . . I just can’t do that again. [:mad:]

Quote: ""We're not talking about casual contact from very far away from one another," WHO official Dr Maria van Kerkhove told the BBC." And: "Where there is person-to-person transmission, it is through very close, prolonged contact with someone with symptoms." In other words, as usual: if you are SICK, stay HOME!

Not the same structure as a corona virus but as with zoological viruses, humans have minimal anti bodies. This one is a real fucker as it takes 3 ish weeks to get set up in gastro or respiratory systems. No cure just ventilation and related treatments. Hey, not an issue unless you live in a rat infested house or drive a rat infested commercial vehicle for a living. This really should not cause any panic in the public IF people have even a minimal grasp of what it is.

Majority of hanatviruses are passed from animal (mice & rats) to humans but from what I've read/listened to, this particular hantavirus is spread from human to human. It's not the same as the one rats can carry.

We are not going to let this go crazy folks. No invermectin bullshit or other COVID like nonsense. Keep it factual and it can stay open.

From Snopes.com: Researchers have known for at least 30 years that one variant of hantavirus can spread between people, though such transmission is rare. The first recorded outbreak of hantavirus with human-to-human transmission took place in Argentina in 1996. Researchers documented another outbreak where the virus spread between people in 2018. Both outbreaks involved the Andes virus (ANDV) variant of hantavirus, which is the only known variant that can spread from person to person. According to South African health authorities and the WHO (archived), this was the same strain of hantavirus that laboratories found in the MV Hondius outbreak as of May 6.
