  1. For anyone nervious or with health anxiety: youtube.com/watch?v=XMSv3zTFF1Y. It's Rebecca Watson's video, "No, Hantavirus is Not the Next Pandemic".

    Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.

    Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.

    Do managers want:

    Only ONE person this week out sick?
    Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?

  2. Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
    Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
    Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.

    HANTAVIRUS AND ANDES VIRUS 101

    As a trained medical professional, I feel the need to inform and raise awareness of the latest MV Hondius (cruise ship) hantavirus outbreak in early May 2026.

    Here is a quick rundown of facts about hantavirus in general...

  7. The hantavirus CFR is probably overstated. Severe cases get counted; mild ones don't. Same error as early COVID estimates.

    But correcting the number isn't reassuring. CDC lost a third of its staff. US withdrew from WHO. HHS is ideologically captured.

    We are in worse shape than January 2020.

  12. 🚨 AI is entering the fight against malaria.

    MalarAI combines geospatial modelling, mobility analytics, climate data, and epidemiology to track how malaria spreads across populations.

    🌍 Starting in Zanzibar, the project aims to identify transmission hotspots in near real time and support precision-targeted malaria elimination strategies.

  13. Big Picture Science for May. 11, Preventing Future Pandemics

    We may not want to think about another pandemic, but, as epidemiologists say, it is once again a “when,” not “if,” scenario. For his latest book, journalist Jon Cohen, who has written extensively about infectious disease for the magazine Science, interviewed top epidemiologists around the world and followed virus hunters into damp and daunting bat caves to assess our pandemic preparedness readiness. Jon and Molly sit down before an audience in Los Angeles to talk about worrisome cuts to science funding and our ability (or inability) to be vigilant and respond quickly to emerging disease. There is good news: we know how to stop outbreaks. The question is, will we put our tools and vast knowledge to use?

  19. People stop freaking out about #HantaVirus. There is a human-to-human variant in the #Andes, and that's probably what got on the #cruiseShip based on its ports of call, but these things tend to peter out, it happens all the time, it is well-contained...

    " #KLM #flightAttendant hospitalised with suspected hantavirus... briefly in contact with one of the Dutch people that died after contracting the #virus"

    Oh fuck

    UDATE: HANTAVIRUS NEGATIVE
