Did you know most early civilizations were disease and starvation-ridden sewers with astronomical death rates compared to normal human existence? They consisted of essentially captive slaves confined to concentration camps and made to work under threat of death. Modern human cattle has forgotten the true nature of civilization but will soon be reminded of it. :^)

People aren't supposed to be bunching up, or nature would create viruses. I figured it out when I was in a high-rise and was pestered by people's minds communicating to me when I just wanted to mentally talk to people at a distance, to get to the people I wanted to talk to. Fud

How the FUCK did the reporting immediately know the type of virus if it originates on a boat without a fucking laboratory on it!?

There are field tests even if they aren't widely available like Covid ones.

Yeah. Sure. A boat like in what, it's first aid kit has a fucking hantavirus test!?

Go name me a boat on the ocean right now that has hantavirus test kits on board.

The medevac could have brought some. Actually, now that I look at it the first evac was 9 days ago so I don't know what "immediately know" is supposed to mean.

yeah, the timeline starts on April 1st, in Argentina. Anyway, we need another COVID-19 for some stupid reason, I'm sure.

The tests were all verified on land.

Testing aside, they could probably guess from the combination of symptoms and observed presence of mice/rats and their respective shit on the ship.

Rumors are that this is the human communicable version. Could just be hype. Anyway, it's not an areal infection, so if it is that bad, BUT we get ahead of it, then this might play out like the random pop ups of Ebola that we see every couple of years.

Was it not already confirmed to be the Andes strain? Which is the only one that is transmitted human to human.
>>
>>16971528
Confirmed? I don't know. It's been said. It's easy for a troll to come out and say something has been confirmed in order to jin up panic.
>>
>>16971529
Seems to be reported as such. Although I did not find the confirmation from the WHO directly.

I mean with how connected the modern world is it's a question of when not if we'll get a new pandemic.

What the FUCK is wrong with rich people on ships

Why the fuck were they allowed to leave the ship?

Should have set up a tented area with hazmat suit wearing doctors and forced a quarantine.

WHY WHERE THEY LET OFF THE FUCKING SHIP??

Too many stupid people in the world, that's why. Nothing is done about stupid and evil people. We wait till they cause havoc in some way, till the harm is already done, then maybe put them in jail for a few years. The way the world is headed, that strategy will no longer work, if it can be said to have ever worked. Eventually, one bad guy with the right technology is all it takes to end humanity.

at least I'm not the one who thinks "AI" will engineer killer viruses, or that "preppers" wouldn't die immediately after running out of canned food and ammo in any "real" "apocalyptic" scenario
>>
The worst part is knowing that we have to wait two to eight weeks for the incubation periods to end. If we get any mainland outbreaks in that time WE'RE FUCKED.
>>
yeah just like we were fucked with the deadly supervirus COVID19 right
>>
>>16971894
Covind 19 didn't have a 40% mortality you asshole. Andes Hantavirus does.
>>
>>16971900
>>16971894

Not to mention that the disease might just pop up months after an outbreak and we'll get waves of the shit like we did with the plague.
>>
It is not as contagious as Covid-19 so there is that. Maybe we can get ahead of this, but the idea that anyone didn't lock down quarantine procedures on a fucking boat is beyond me. Quarantine was invented to handle boats!

There is a big masking filtration efficacy gap between the shit-tier N95s/surgicals recommended by goobermints during COVID and asbestos-rated respirators; preppers with decent stockpiles of the latter are ack-shilly fairly immune to airborne viral outbreaks, likely more so than most vaccines can achieve.

We'll have to go old school. Quarentine the sick and if you live then you are immune and you can help them. Everyone else will have to be kept away until the outbreak ends.

OK.

The virus has between a 2 week and 8 week incubation time.

It spreads by aerosol droplets.

The virus can remain virulent within a droplet for between 2 and 15 days.

It has a 40% rate of mortality.

This is not 'we treat you with a vaccine' shit. This is 'we shoot you and burn the body' shit.

THIS IS APOCALYPTIC.

>my point was that preppers are not self-sufficient, but whatever
I'd agree your average crazy uncle who hoarded up a couple months of canned food and a case of N95s probably isn't surviving any kind of "apocalypse" much better than an average normie.

But respirators are available with good enough filtration technology to give the wearer near-invulnerability to airborne viruses; prepping against airborne viral pandemics generally by buying such respirators is fairly rational.
>>
>>16971900
You know what else has a rather high death rate?
MERS
And when has MERS ever been a problem globally?
>>
>>16972043
MERS has a lower death rate. Still high at 35%.
>>
>>16972047
Yeah so hantavirus should theoretically have an even harder time spreading cause it kills people too quickly
>but the gestation
So?
>>
>>16972054

You mean incubation. It means that a person can be a long-term 'sleeper cell' for the infection. Only really bad if the virus is contagious while asymptomatic, but it's still a danger.

How the hell did the virus get on the ship? Were the conditions were just literal squalor or what? Cause I know cruises are known for their bad hygeine and shit but this is rediculous.
>>
>>16972187
Seeing how the first guy got symptoms less than a week out from Argentina, it's most likely not from the ship.
>>
>>16971002
retard
>>
>>16972187
squalor in itself doesn't generate viruses
their carrier is always a lifeform in origin, being it human or animal
their feces can contain it oc, but you still need the animal to make them

Humanity is really not doing well at the moment.
