    I will NOT avoid ingesting mouse droppings.

    It is my God-given right to find a rodent nest and motorboat it.

        Americans are afraid of each other

        They’re afraid of someone knocking on the door

        They’re afraid their boss will fire them and they will lose their health insurance

        They’re afraid of other countries

        I spend a lot of time in the US, and I’ve never seen anywhere with people constantly on edge. They’re so used to it that they don’t notice any more

        I’ve never seen anywhere so ruled by fear

      At the moment, there is no cure or vaccine. Just like with Ebola, until a few years ago when some non-African people got infected, and they suddenly whipped up something.

        Yep, and scientists were saying for just as long how easy it could mutate and cause a global pandemic so governments should be prepared. >.>

      Isn’t it obvious? There is no vaccine. We’ve seen human-to-human transmission even with short contacts like a flight. It’s able to kill people. And we know that at least in the USA the government will not do anything to protect the people.

      Yup. There’s also deaths from hantavirus every year in California. The problem is the variant, its the first time a lot of these countries are being exposed to the more contagious than usual form of hantavirus that in Chile & Argentina is known as Andean Hantavirus.

      Chile has a long history of dealing with this and usually takes all the necessary precautions, but add some dumbass gringos (north americans and Europeans) into the mix and they basically go into a remote area and snort lines of mouse shit and then are surprised when they caught a really bad virus.

      Argentina doesn’t really take any precautioms afaik.

        yes, in chile they always do campaigns, is a fact of life since forever, so for me it’s quite surprising the global craze about it.

        different species, variant implies its the same species but different genotype. hantaa virus of korea is a different species than sin nombre of the midwest, and andes virus. the first 2 are quite virulent.

      All the losers are having sudden flare-ups of their persecution complex and are desperately using something that will never happen to create a feeling of power in their sad empty lives.

    Seems like he has a typo at the top. From the context, seems like it was meant to say:

    “I will NOT protect my home.”

      You joke, but some gullible idiot will buy that.

      I know people who get their phone service through “PureTalk” to escape the “liberals at AT&T”. I’m still not sure which is the greater irony: the fact that AT&T is an extremely conservative stick in the mud Corpo of the fact that PureTalk is an MVNO whose network is provided by – wait for it – AT&T

    I already said it doesn’t matter if this virus becomes wide spread or not, US will never do another shut down - I’m fact to wipe us out just release a virus, most would rather die than stay home for a few weeks

      When the terrorists get that bio weapon, just expect absolute destruction of this Nation.

      The Maga cult has fucked our ability to respond.

    it seems the one affecting cruise ship isnt as lethal has the Hanntaa virus or sin nombre one, the zoonotic ones are far more dangerous.
