I barely heard anything about it, except for the fact that it has something to do with rodents. Does anyone know if that includes domesticated rodents (specifically in Central Europe) and whether the virus dies when frozen? Cause I have plenty of contact with frozen rats, mice, african soft fur rats and rabbits atm.
Viruses usually survive quite fine when frozen. Viruses aren’t really alive so in order to “kill” them you’re looking for something that will destroy their DNA.
You want something like high heat, UV, or bleach. Also just stuff like wearing face coverings and gloves should be enough, after all I am assuming you’re not planning to eat them.
Oh is there a new world ending virus? Perhaps trump will suggest injecting bleach again, you never know, it could be a good thing.
You need better YouTube subs, cuz all of mine that are talking about it are saying how much of a non-issue it is
Every time somebody complains about YouTube it’s always because they don’t actually have any subscriptions and they’re just looking at the front page.
The front page of YouTube is indeed rubbish, no one should be looking at that.
Mine aren’t saying anything about it at all.
Are they saying it in a gravely voice while extolling the virtues of an all-meat diet?
You must be thinking about the people telling you how bad it will be in one breath and trying to sell you ivermectin in the next
You can scoff at the effectiveness of ivermectin all you like, but I’m a horse.
or a cow, or livestock/
Everyone should take ivermectin for hantavirus and covid-19 to deplete the global supply. Sincerely, Horse worms
The alleged Reddit reaction is the only one actually mirroring the virology community. Good job, Reddit amalgam someone made up.
What about the Fediverse?
Top five Linux distros to try out while quarantined.
Hantavirus uses Arch, btw
I run Hanta Montana btw
Heathen! Switch to Temple OS.
Arch bro 👍
Hahahaha this is so true xD
“it’s all because of capitalism.”
It’s true!
A virus outbreak like thid would never happen in a socialist country!
It’s all about how it’s handled
🤒🔫
A socialist country would get a handle on it before it would spread 😤
A socialist country wouldn’t gut their center of disease control 🤧
That or downplay it and try to keep it a secret from World Health Organization like greedy capitalists would in search of their endless profits 🤬
Of course. Just do the North Korean approach and shoot the infected. Problem solved.
China would never let this happen either!
No vacation, no virus spread!!
Indicative of how the West truly is a virus on the soul
They’ve embraced open-source by sequencing the virus’s DNA and providing detailed and simple instructions for anyone to reproduce it at home!
meowing
Hiss
Stockpiling memes, just in case
For the aliens that come after?
They love memes, everybody knows that.
👽💌🐢
Complain how other social media is covering it
Rooting for the virus to take down civilization.
Or at least take me down, im cool with either 🤙

Brutal self own for Lemmy
I think the point is there aren’t so many butts on Lemmy spreading misinformation. Of course there are a lot of idiots on here, but their ability to post BS is limited.
Xitter already pushing Ivermectin
Intravenous bleach when?
bleach enema.
Hopefully soon, cause this time we’re not stopping them.
Wait, we were supposed to stop them last time?
COVID-19 wasn’t the next Spanish Flu, until it was.
I HOPE it’s just another SARS/MERS thing, but it’s too early to tell.
Covid was a SARS virus tho?? literally SARS-CoV-2
It wasn’t the Spanish Flu even at its worst (roughly a third the mortality rate with a much faster and farther reach absent any properly quarantining).
Much like with the AIDS epidemic or the Ebola outbreak, Hauntavirus has a slower rate of spread and avoidable vector for transmission, but a significantly higher mortality rate.
It’s scary for different reasons.

You sure you’re not talking about regular hantavirus? Most strains can’t transmit from person to person; they require vectors such as mice and other rodents. But the variant people are worried about is capable of spreading directly from person to person. Cruise ships and plains may make it easy to transmit viruses that require close personal contact. But they’re not exactly known for their rodent infestations.
But the variant people are worried about is capable of spreading directly from person to person.
Based on early investigations by health officials in May 2026, passengers on the cruise ship likely contracted hantavirus (specifically the Andes virus) through an initial, pre-boarding exposure to rodent droppings in South America
The ship itself is not seeing any cases between passengers, at least as far as I’ve seen in reports
Also, no one on the flights has confirmed Hantavirus either. The Flight Attendant is still an unknown but in testing.
Hopefully that’s the case.
It’s a known virus, so seems like a nothingburger to me (except a handful of people dying, that’s of course horrible).
There are plenty of known viruses that we don’t worry about simply because we’ve been lucky enough to keep them contained in very localized areas. But an epidemiologist could rattle off a whole series of viruses that they would say, “if this ever gets out and blows up, we are fucked.”
Instagram is more racist than Facebook? I don’t use either but I’m behind the times
Facebook has old racism, Instagram has new racism
Something borrowed, something blue.
Special media needs to be called toxic media or something.
What YouTube videos are you watching? Because nobody in my sub list is fucking insane.
What YouTube videos are you watching?
Tried to screenshot the insane shit YouTube showed me on the default feed, but I’m getting a “You can’t take screenshots of YouTube” warning through my phone.
But seriously, why weren’t they properly quarantined? We learned nothing from the previous case.
Long incubation period + passengers ending their cruises in different places. Once they figured out it was spreading on the ship it was quarantined but by then several people had already left.
afaik, some people got off the cruise before they realised there was an outbreak - and it’s those who are currently the issue
Joking, or don’t understand cruise ships?
I remember a hantavirus scare back in the 90s, this too shall pass
depends on which one, the hantavirus from korea is the scary one, sin nombre in the states is the next most virulent one.
Idk if I can technically call him my father-in-law because he died before I had the chance to meet/know him, but my husband’s dad caught hantavirus in the very early 90s. It slowly killed him - deteriorating his motor skills and his mind along the way. My husband was his driver at 15 because his dad couldn’t walk by that point. He reached a point where he frequently made some pretty out-of-character and erratic/destructive decisions that negatively impacted their family in a big way. He eventually committed suicide when my husband was 16.
From everything I’ve heard about my father-in-law prior to hantavirus (and before it wreaked havoc on his body and mind), he was a brilliant, hard working, dedicated, and warm man. Sounds like he was a kickass dad too.
The scare was for a good reason. It’s not transmissable from human to human, but it’s a good reminder to be FUCKING CAREFUL AROUND RATS AND ANY AREAS WHERE RATS MAY HAVE BEEN.
you remember the sars scare back in the early 2000s too?
that was SARS-CoV-1
I remember the killer bees that never came as well. The only thing that seems to remain constant is that people like to spread fear and overreact.
instead we had giant hornets.
Well the sars thing came back with a vengeance didn’t it?
Threads has to be in there. Racist conspiracy blaming anything democrat.
Nextdoor, if you have it: Is it a bomb!?! We’re all going to die plus praise Jesus stuff and blaming democrats.
Just wait til it mutates. It’s going to be the zombie apocalypse. 😪🤧🤒😷💀👻
