    "Ebola and hantavirus outbreaks prompt raft of conspiracy theories in divided US

    Ever-growing influence of social media and AI means such ideas spreading at faster rates than before, experts say

    Hantavirus and Ebola outbreaks carry with them familiar attendants in the US: extreme conspiracy theories about a planned pandemic, or 'plandemic', designed to upend midterm elections or push new vaccines or any one of a myriad of wild ideas.

    Ebola, which the World Health Organization warned on Friday is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, poses a 'very high' risk at the national level. In the upside-down world of conspiracy theories it could be a bioweapon, a financial plot, or a scheme to extract national resources.

    The hantavirus outbreak, which began on a cruise ship in the South Atlantic, killing three passengers and causing at least 11 to test positive, carries its own set of baggage in the form of conspiracy theories: passengers were crisis actors, or it was caused by Covid vaccines and Bill Gates, or perhaps it was an Israeli false flag operation and can be cured by the antiviral horse de-wormer ivermectin.

    This is not new, though undoubtedly the ever-growing influence of social media and now AI slop, means that such ideas spread further and faster than ever before.

    'This is very normal, and we should not be shocked that people are conspiracy theorizing,' said Dr Joseph Uscinski, an associate professor of political science at the University of Miami.

    'If people are paying attention to something, so are people who are conspiracy-minded, and they are going to interpret disease through that lens,' he adds. 'Of course, there is going to be a conspiracy behind it and they’re going to blame people they already dislike.'

    Uscinski points out that theories around the hantavirus and Ebola are not much different from during Covid, Aids or other virus outbreaks. During the previous Ebola outbreak in 2014, online posts – some picked up by Infowars’ Alex Jones – held that Ebola victims were returning as zombies. But that was during the fourth season of The Walking Dead."

    You would prefer not to be breathed on.

    #Hanta virus is, I think, not very infectious, comparted to #Measles #Chickenpox #Influenza #COVID *

    In a previous emergency I was dubious about #vapes , as they emit a cloud of cool droplets from the lungs which goes a long way.

    How far can someone blow a smoke ring, except without smoke - a vortex ring?

  10. Ich habe mei Doc gefragt und er sagt: "Tomatensson, na klar gibt es eine todbringende Hanuta-Epidemie, schauen Sie sich doch selbst mal an. Im Spiegel zum Beispiel. Und die anderen Pfeifenköppe auch. Kleiner Trost: die Hanuta-Epidemie ist im eigentlichen Sinne nicht ansteckend."

  13. 2/2 Aside from the horrific “30-60%” mortality rate, the endless incubation period of up to 6 weeks strikes me as the worst contrast to COVID. One of the only saving graces of corona was that 4-5 day incubation, so you’d quickly know you were out of the woods.

    45 day self-enforced quarantines are almost impossible to believe in. I did a 10 day stint at one point and almost lost it.

    Know your enemy.

    We’re worrying about the “new world” variant, with the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) that affects circulation similar to COVID.

    Aerosol transmission means we already know how to fight it, but unfortunately we also know we suck at it.

  19. So. #Hanta virus. Let's see those antimaskers tackle this one. What government conspiracy will they concoct next?

  21. Die Geschichte mit diesem Kreuzfahrtschiff soll jetzt verfilmt werden. Mit Til Schweiger als Kapitän und Tina Ruland als Virologin.

    Arbeitstitel: '#Hanta, Hanta'.

    Habe ich jedenfalls gehört.

  23. Waiting for #trump to either say that #hanta is actually good for you or that it’s a hoax invented by the EU\UN\WHO
