Looks like it’s going to be a slow burn
Should have sent them to an island
Hopefully the high mortality rate means it will burn itself out? Not hoping for deaths mind you.
Anyone else getting insane late 2019 flashbacks?
Here comes FIFA Virus 2026!
Wait, wait..
We have a much better president in charge this time around…
We’re so fucked.
well, the good thing is, the high gas prices means people will be travelling less. But unlike 2020, the fatality rate of the Hantavirus [is higher ](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/hantavirus)than covid
RFK Jr. is on the case!
Nah just don’t report on them and it’ll be great
I had to write my will at 30 when I got Covid. I got sick and never got better and developed a life altering neurological disorder. My body’s so fragile now that vaccines will send me to the ER.
I’m terrified I won’t survive another pandemic.
Please, please let this blow over. I have too many people to take care of.

Just for anyone like me who hasn’t paid much attention so far
With the CDC all but defunded, fema gutted, WHO being sidelined by the world rich and the push against medicine…
*Exhales loudly*
The scary part is the rampant measles which already fucks up your immune system. Diseases are being left to spread deliberately. Diseases we could easily take care off, no less.
Not til “we will be back in office in two weeks” hits
At this point I feel they’re slow dripping the bad news and in a day or two we’ll find out that it’s airborne.
I’m glad the US left the WHO so we don’t have to worry about these sorts of announcements /s
Every time Trump has been in the middle to end of his presidency there’s been some kind of outbreak. Which has only been twice. But it’s weird it’s happened twice.
Wasn’t Covid’s incubation 2 weeks, and this one is triple that? Welp, we’re boned.
Well, there’s pestilence. We already have war. Famine is right around the corner with fertilizer shortages.
Let’s go, I suppose?
six weeks? thank god for its low transmission rate
Pandemic 2, Trump bugaloo
I have to fly next month. Masks in airport and plane.
They ALL should still be on the ship. Why the fuck were they allowed off?
i wasn’t even remotely concerned about this before, but the PR „don’t panic guys we 100% have this under control but won’t rule anything out just in case“ speak from officials i’ve been seeing is seriously starting to concern me.
„There is no Hantavirus in America.“
Will WHO ever tell us to start worrying? Or that they have little control over the situation?
Well… time to stock up on masks, sanitizer, and food supplies.
but people in boat can free go home with no mandatory Hospital stay so gg. (Edit) its only for spanish people but anyways i think they change it told by Ministerio de Salud
Yeah, no shit WHO. Yesterday it was – we have it under control, today it is cautios news that it might be spreading for weeks.
We might just start stocking up on masks again.
God: “So the first plague wasn’t enough of a sign that I hate these pedophiles, huh.”
Why do we only read how bad this is and never that the WHO itself literally said that the risk of a worldwide pandemic is very very small.
When covid came up first every relevant institution clearly warned from the risk of a pandemic.
I don’t want another lock down. People please stay safe and keep safe distance if you see someone sick.
More worried about the job market in the US than I am this virus.
Great. We saw how well this particular idiot handled a global pandemic last time. If this gets bad we are so screwed (again).
Of course, it’s also such a convenient excuse to declare an emergency and shut down the midterms. almost like the perfect event just happened to hit at the right time. Sure, it’s tin foil hat, but we go decades without a global pandemic, then get two under the same president in a few years?

hey do you reckon just sending everyone home from the disease ship and saying “guess we’ll see” was the best move?
The thing that scares me is how fast we went from „yeah it can’t be carried by humans“ „ok this special strain can be but requires close contact and there’s only 5 cases globally“ to „ok there is an unknown amount of people possibly infected“
Trump years are the worst.
