Well, that’s not in the news, because they can’t think of a way to weaponize it against Trump.
There is more than one strain of hantavirus, some more harmful than others, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is no approved cure or vaccine against hantaviruses in the United States. An inoculation may be available in China.
Well, guess it’s time to shut the economy down.
Oh, wait...
The key is how contagious is it? It doesn’t appear to spread like covid-19.
Getting out the mouse traps. I hate house rodents.
I remember when it was SHOCKING that Ozzy Osbourne bit _a_ bat’s head off. He’s a piker in China!
Now that we’re getting some positive news on Coronavirus, this sh*t just happens to come up. This is good news for the chronically hysterical among us!
More bull sh*t hysteria brought to us by the Fake News!
I am sure you are joking, but I use traps that catch them live. They often get an entire group. One time I put one of the traps in the freezer to kill them “humanely”, but seeing all their little dead bodies did make me feel bad. So I let them go in the woods a couple miles away these days.
I smell Notion Mongering
lol!
I am joking.
We live in rural so we’re surrounded by rodentia of some sort.
My heeler catches them if they’re not fast enough.
Hanta is something I’m always aware of though since we have outbuildings that are very attractive to the small cute critters. Hubby sets the snap traps, he’s not a softie with mice/rats.

I can see where ‘not nice people’ would consider this a target virus for ‘further work’.
I’ve had traps out for a week in the basement and haven’t caught any mice. Then I found the poison box I set out for them last year. I had forgotten about it. Looks like it did the trick.
If it doesn’t puts the notion on its skin it gets the hose again.
The media has their template for controlling the US folks. Anyone who thinks Corona is the end is just kidding themselves. There will be a next one and a next one.
And if a dem is in the White House? You bet your rear end that confiscating your guns will be a “cure.”
This is no big deal. Cannot spread human to human, only rat to human.
In a post covid-19 world, we’re going to be inundated with scare porn about the newest potential epidemic. Hantavirus has been around a long time and is nasty stuff if you catch it but its transmission is unlikely if you take adequate precautions. How many plumbers, HVAC specialists, farmers, and other trade professions are constantly working in rodent contaminated areas and how few catch hantavirus or other rodent-carried diseases?
Same issue here. They don't get in the house very often. But they like to congregate in the out buildings and I worry about their droppings. I spray a little water on them and wear a dust mask or painting respirator when cleaning them up.
Never a bad idea.
We also try to encourage the king snake population.
And we have a few uncatchable feral cats too.
I missed your previous 999 posts regarding the Chinese death count.
“Coronavorus, the sequil.”
Coronavorus, the musical.
