The emergence of a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) illustrates that coronaviruses (CoVs) may quiescently emerge from possible animal reservoirs and can cause potentially fatal disease in humans, as previously recognized for animals.
In China a virus transmitted from rats re-emerged, it’s not confirmed if this is a new strain of the virus.
A man from China’s Yunnan province tested positive for Hantavirus on Monday. He died while on his way back to Shandong Province for work on a chartered bus, China’s state-run Global Times reported. 32 other people have been tested, the report added.
Social media is in panic following his unexplainable death. People fear it is another COVID-19 ready to cause new global chaos.
Of course, there is no reason to panic is what we gonna hear from the mainstream media but when it comes to China and the WHO who handled Wuhan Coronavirus, everything is possible.
But below we have a little reminder of what China and WHO said when the COVID 19 pandemic was at the beginning.

United States’ National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in a journal writes that currently, the hantavirus genus includes more than 21 species. HPS can’t be passed on from person to person, it can be contracted if someone touches their eyes, nose or mouth after touching rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials, states Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fact sheet. But these reports are not true. Person to person transmission of the virus might be unlikely but a strain of the virus has passed from person to person. From CDC:
The exception to this is an outbreak of HPS in Argentina in 1996. Evidence from this outbreak suggests that strains of hantaviruses in South America may be transmissable from person to person.
In Chile and Argentina, rare cases of person-to-person transmission have occurred among close contacts of a person who is ill with a type of hantavirus called Andes virus.
Each strain of hantavirus is linked with a host species of rodent, the agency explained. Hantaviruses are passed on in what is known as airborne transmission, when virus particles from the animal’s urine, feces, and saliva travel in the air and infect an individual. In rare cases, a person may catch hantavirus if they are bitten by an infected animal. It is possible to catch the virus if a person touches their mouth or nose after handling a surface contaminated with the urine, droppings or saliva of a host, as well as eating contaminated food, experts believe.
The clinical syndrome of HPS or hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome was first recognized in 1993 and has since been identified throughout the United States. Although rare, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is frequently fatal, with a case fatality rate of 36%.
“Hantaviruses in the Americas are known as “New World” hantaviruses and may cause hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS). Other hantaviruses, known as “Old World” hantaviruses, are found mostly in Europe and Asia and may cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS),” the CDC website said.
The symptoms of potentially deadly HPS include fatigue, fever and muscle aches—particularly in the thighs, back, hips, and less often the shoulders. A person may also feel dizzy, have a headache, chills, as well as vomit, and experience diarrhea and stomach pain. Between four to 10 days after the first phase, a person can develop shortness of breath, a cough, and their lungs may fill with fluid. One patient told the CDC having HPS felt like a “tight band around my chest and a pillow over my face.”
Is this a new pandemic experts say no but China’s secret could hurt us again.
President Donald Trump emphatically blamed China for the coronavirus pandemic Thursday, and again made a point of using the term “Chinese virus.”
“The world is paying a very big price for that they did,” Trump said, referring to his claim that Chinese officials did not fully share information sooner about the coronavirus outbreak after it began in China.
“It could have been stopped right where it came from, China,” Trump said at a White House news conference.
He argued that American officials would have been able to act faster if China’s government had fully shared information about the outbreak, which began around the city of Wuhan.
“It would have been much better if we had known about this a number of months earlier,” the president said.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that the mainstream media suppress.
You know, you might have something there. The dumps outside of Mexico DF used to be called la mierda for obvious reasons.
Coronavirus turns into Hantavirus with 36% Death Rate - Transmission Rate Even Worse that Old Coronavirus"
Anything to keep the flames of panic fanned and burning hot...
Let's hope FR doesn't continue to be a purveyor of panic with those who seek out every possible bit of bad news.
Next he will marry Cher and you will know he is bad off.
At least he doesn’t have Rat Lungworm.
Unless you habitually breathe powdered field mouse droppings you’re probably good.
Hantavirus is already present in the US, and has been for years. Hot spots are the southwest and other places such as along the Appalachian trail at the trail shelters. Mice and other rodents carry it. It can be present in rodent feces and other rodent debris. When cleaning up after rodents use a HEPA filter, mask, and possibly lightly spray the area to keep dust down.
When cleaning up rodent leavings we always wet with Lysol and let it sit for five minutes before starting work.
To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln - one virus at a time, please
It’s why one of my chores as a teenager was to shot rats in the barn
It’s not just in rural areas of the southwest. South Reno has had two deaths from it since 2017. It’s spread by deer mice, not just any rodent, and it spreads from their droppings, urine, saliva, and blood. On average 38% of cases are fatal.
Good marksmanship practice!
let’s all take a Xanax before we freak out about this too. It’s no good for the nerves people. Stop overwhelming yoursellves
Heck, the WHO was saying Covid-19 wasn’t spread by human-human transmission thru mid-January (!!). Thank you lying Chinese and moron WHO medicrats.
We’d do it at night. We’d tape a high-intensity flashlight to the barrel of a CO2 air rifle. We’d shine the light over the haybales and look for eyeshine.
Cats have green shine OK
Dog silver shine OK
Snake-Yellow OK
Rat, rabbit, gopher little beady red eyeshine - fire until the shine goes away
This is a known virus. We have outbreaks in the US Southwest during droughts when the air gets especially dry and people sweep up dried droppings of infected mice/rats. It was a big thing in the news a few decades ago. Now it is a routine thing every few years there is a small cluster of a dozen or so people.
Death rate times spread rate is the danger. This one has almost no spread rate even if it is highly lethal.
This is a known virus group, that was a big news item in the 1990s when no one knew what it was, then it just pops up every few years when it infects and kills a half-dozen to a dozen people during a drought.
Solution: Mop the floor, don’t sweep up rodent droppings during desert droughts when the critters move into houses.
lol...we hunt rabbits at night.Look for the red.
There was a hantavirus death in New York State.

Yeah, I remember when Yosemite went had cases
The Hantavirus was around 1993. People were in such a panic that there were mass-cancelations of reservations in the Southwest U.S.
Having read the description of what put you at risk (you practically had to mainline rodent droppings), I realized countless people were panicking for nothing. Since my parents & I were headed to the SW that Summer, we picked up a lot of last-minute reservations (including at Mesa Verde). A nice trip and nobody got sick.
