Comment on "Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 day agoThey got away with bullshit that didn’t work but made people feel safe last time because with proper medical treatment COVID mortality was like 0.1%.
Andes has a 40.0% mortality rate with proper medical care…
400x as many deaths as COVID if we end up with the same number of infected…
And from what we’re seeing, this newest Andes variant is a shit ton more transmissible than even normal Andes. So if it takes off, it’ll overload hospitals faster and for longer.
Like, last time they essentially used “thoughts and prayers” and most people got by off chance. If they do that again, we’re all fucked
Like even in this video, the guy is operating under the assumption governments will realize the difference in time and start handling it appropriately…
But there is zero logical reasons to think that, they’re not going to take rational and logical steps at any point, especially in America where trump and RFK Jr are in charge.
They’re gonna ignore the problem and hope it just goes away. And I honestly hope it works, I just think we shouldn’t leave it to chance
Like even in this video, the guy is operating under the assumption governments will realize the difference in time and start handling it appropriately…
Not with the current government. They may start to act when members of their circles start to drop like flies, though.
I hope that Biontec are already at work on this one…

Maybe those of us peons that survive will get the same benefit the survivors of the black death got, then again probably not. I remember our federal medical officer saying so convincingly that covid (corona) would not mutate very fast, I sat staring at my pc looking at that line for about 5 mins wondering in what world that virus didn’t mutate fast, which of course it did
