  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.

      Why do they call it No-Name (sin nombre)?

  We’ve known about coronaviruses since the 1960s

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

  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.

  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.

  distractions to keep us from a few things.

  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.

  Yeah, the irony of this kind of meme saying “I will not live in fear” and yet they quite obviously are living every day in fear of conspiracies. Anyone who has read a few sentences of commentary is aware that Hantavirus is not going to be a pandemic.
