Special media needs to be called toxic media or something.
You need better YouTube subs, cuz all of mine that are talking about it are saying how much of a non-issue it is
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.
Everyone should take ivermectin for hantavirus and covid-19 to deplete the global supply. Sincerely, Horse worms
Brutal self own for Lemmy
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.
I remember a hantavirus scare back in the 90s, this too shall pass
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.
The alleged Reddit reaction is the only one actually mirroring the virology community. Good job, Reddit amalgam someone made up.
Xitter already pushing Ivermectin
Intravenous bleach when?
Hopefully soon, cause this time we’re not stopping them.
Wait, we were supposed to stop them last time?
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.
What about the Fediverse?
They’ve embraced open-source by sequencing the virus’s DNA and providing detailed and simple instructions for anyone to reproduce it at home!
Top five Linux distros to try out while quarantined.
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
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 🤙
from what I have seen a mix of reddit and tiktok

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.”
But seriously, why weren’t they properly quarantined? We learned nothing from the previous case.
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?
Just wait til it mutates. It’s going to be the zombie apocalypse. 😪🤧🤒😷💀👻
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.
