Der Hantavirus-Ausbruch lässt einige der schlimmsten COVID-Verschwörungen wieder aufleben: Hantavirus-Fehlinformationen verbreiten sich schnell. Schuld daran könnten COVID-Trauma und Social-Media-Algorithmen sein

Of course its social media. It is literally designed to amplify posts that trigger arguments because arguments keep people on the platforms.

They’re going to be spending billions in courts trying to fight regulation. I pray that they lose every case because if they don’t, people will continue to get sick and/or die because of the misinformation and disinformation being funneled to them.

And before anyone says something about how nobody would be stupid enough to take medical advice from social media, please remember that there is growing evidence that the Flynn effect is reversing and a growing amount of american adults are functionally illiterate or read below the level of an average 14 year old. The „everyone is 12 now“ meme about adults behavior on the internet actually seems to have some legs to it.

Jetzt müsste man mal betrachten wie dieser Virus arbeitet, wo er ansetzt, wie er ansetzt, wie es transportiert wird, was schwere Verläufe begünstigt,…

Und schon macht die Panikmache Sinn. Fraglich nur für wem.

Wie sieht unser Gesundheitssystem aus?
Wurden die richtigen Stellschrauben gedreht?

Nicht? Dann war wohl COVID gar nicht so schlimm.

May be to blame? I would assume certainly to blame…
