      >“The risk to the general public is low,” Van Kerkhove emphasized. “This is not a virus that spreads like flu or like COVID. It’s quite different.”

      >“We do know that some of the cases had very close contact with each other and certainly human-to-human transmission can’t be ruled out so as a precaution this is what we are assuming,” Dr. Maria Van Kerhove, WHO’s Director for Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness and Prevention, told reporters.

      I think CNN is taking this quote ~~a bit~~ completely out of context. Dr. WHO is saying that they have to respond *as if it’s the worst case scenario* because there’s a chance it could be transmitting human to human, but it’s out of an abundance of caution for everyone’s safety. „Suspected“ is too strong a word. „Can’t be ruled out“ ≠ suspected

      They need to send a hospital ship to quarantine and treat these people as the ship can’t be allowed to dock.

      Left Argentina April 1st. The virus Transmitted in rats/Arrosol, fecal matter. Maybe vermin got into the food stores then it would explain multiple people getting the virus. Possibly the Andes Strain? Discovered in Argentina, spread by long tailed pigmy rice rat..sounds about right.

      More…[more here on Andes Virus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andes_virus)

      Send that ship on a world tour. Speed run global herd immunity = no more hantavirus threat. It’s just common sense! /s😜

      The headline is awful and if you read the article they state only that „there was close contact“ and „human-to-human transmission cannot be ruled out.“

      They literally did not say there was human-to-human transmission, so don’t read into this absolute travesty of a „news“ piece from CNN.

      Completely bogus headline that doesn’t even match the substance of the article, so classic shit job by big media trying to tear-jerk a public into fear.

      I did not have hauntsvirus pandemic on the bingo card. Bird flu always on there. Still had a spot for new covid.

      But not this

      Well it’s a good thing that we have a fully funded and fully staffed WHO to deal with this, otherwise it could be a serious problem!

      Comes from rodent feces and or deer mice. Its transmission is inhalation. There is no known antiviral for it.

      Good luck.

      I thought they got rid of WHO so we wouldn’t have any more health issues?

      When the WHO is already denying airborne transmission, it has to be airborne. Don’t let them fool you once again and remember we’re still in a SARS-pandemic, only the emergency phase was ever ended, and there’s still no cure for Long Covid 6 years in.

      Hahahaha. Remember when America couldn’t convince a third of its population to wash its hands and stay 6’ apart for 2 weeks and then we dedicated 4 years to dealing with them throwing tantrums about it. I’m glad we can all be adults about stuff like this.

      Once again , taken out of context… it’s not a fact, not as yet evidence based and I’m sure WHO is monitoring this closely… I’d trust science before CNN any day!

      Uh. This virus starting to spread among humans is what the movie Contagion was about
