I really hope we don’t have a pandemic. Hentavirus has a 30% death rate. Being against masks, against vaccines, having fadigue of lockdowns would kill at of people

    We won't. This virus is only transmitted in close contact. None of the the science-based community I follow are worried, so I'm not worried.

    Some variants like the Andes strain are developing the ability to be human-transmissible. It has been recorded jumping from one human host to the next in prior outbreaks. Once it evolves to be trivially-transmissible, all bets are off.

    My comment addressed the Andes strain. Although it is human transmissable, it requires close contact. That's why it's currently not much of a concern.

    Movie trailer voice: Coming this Sumner the bigly huge cross-over you've all been waiting for. Henta19 it spreads like covid and kills like henta. Evolving now as we decide to do nothing for global stability. Ivermectin has met its match, baby!

    This strain is spread by close, intimate contact. Keep mice and rats out of your home, clean up their poop with a wet paper towel if you find it. This will help prevent poop dust from being kicked up, which is how the virus is typically transmitted.

    Yes Hantavirus is scary. You can pretty effectively protect yourself, and if you walk in somewhere and happen to spot mice poop just chillin — politely inform whoever is living with mice about what I just told you and leave.
