It still seems that all known #hantavirus cases were on the ship - including the most recent case quarantined in the netherlands. Noone was infected off the ship, those with symptoms all turned out negative later on.
I’m curious if all infected people on the ship really had close contact to ‘patient zero’.
I read nonsense on using #ivermectin against #covid (of course) #hantavirus (recently) but not against #ebola. I’m wondering why?
Is “it lturns you body into a bag of gunk” too unappealing for marketing snake oil?
Or did I just miss those posts/publications?
So, I noticed something about #Trump’s trip to #China, because I tend to pay attention to #bioethics stuff. Amongst all the panopticon bros was a solitary biotech executive; Jacob #Thaysen, CEO of #Illumina.
Illumina holds the patents that mean 80% of the world’s #genomic analysis is done via their products or databases.
According to #CIA agents, the #US left the #WHO so we didn’t have to admit that we’d funded the Chinese lab where #COVID seems to have originated.
Leaving the WHO also means Illumina no longer has to share their data with public health experts. And they’ve been first on the ground in both #hantavirus and #Ebola to sequence these outbreaks. #African countries must sign away their #genome rights before America will pay the health budget Congress authorized. So, that’s fun.
And once again, as I start digging, the #DreyDossier brings receipts. She’s a hella investigator.
Now this is interesting:
> "In Tierra del Fuego we have no record of #hantavirus cases in our history," Juan Facundo Petrina, the province's Director General of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, said.
> "And specifically, since 1996 - when the National Surveillance System included it among mandatory reporting diseases - we haven't had a single case[…]"
> “that the endemic zone for hantavirus lies more than 1,500km (930 miles) to the north.”

Reuters: Spain tests suspected hantavirus case in Alicante
MADRID, May 8 (Reuters) - A 32-year-old woman in the southeastern Spanish province of Alicante has symptoms consistent with a hantavirus infection and is being tested, Spanish health officials said on Friday.
The woman was a passenger on the same flight as a patient who died in Johannesburg after travelling on the MV Hondius cruise ship and contracting the virus, Secretary of State for Health Javier Padilla told reporters.

i said it in 2020, have to say it again: #MAGA #oligarchy #EpsteinClass #GOP #Republicans are using #vaccines hesitancy, #COVID #flu and now #HantaVirus to wage biological warfare.
stop giving RFK Jr the benefit of the doubt. Trump chose him not to be Secretary of Health buf Secretary of #Eugenics.
RFK’s goal is to kill as many Americans as he can. this isn't speculation. the evidence is there. it is a statement of fact.

Hantaviruses, which belong to the Bunyavirales order, replicate and transcribe their genome in the cytoplasm of infected cells. So Hantavirus already won’t enter the nucleus, and Ivermectin, an anti-parasite substance, won’t do much of anything to a virus.
“…orthomyxoviruses replicate and transcribe their genome within the cell nucleus, whereas bunyavirus genome replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.”

People stop freaking out about #HantaVirus. There is a variant first seen in the #Andes that can be transmitted human-to-human, 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...

RE: swiss.social/@tobi82/116529644…
Spanish newspapers are keeping track of the #hantavirus ship as it moves towards the Canary Islands where remaining passengers will be examined and repatriated.
What’s new to me in this report is that 23 people got off the ship in St Helens, and nobody was keeping track of them.
These 23 individuals are now the subject of an international contact tracing effort led by the World Health Organization (#WHO), as the outbreak is linked to the #Andes strain of hantavirus, which can spread between humans. One of these passengers, a Swiss citizen, has since tested positive and is receiving treatment in Zurich.
Y’all remember how covid got its first big push? A cruise ship. It docked, the Trump admin sent healthcare workers to deal with it, then those healthcare workers got on national airlines and flew around the country, and a few weeks later…epidemic.
Unbelievable that these people weren’t being monitored for a human to human spread vector.

A Spanish newspaper reporting about the 23 missing passengers. This is a nightmare! Everybody got so used to be sick and travel the world 🫣 #hantavirus https://elpais.conscientious objector🇨🇭🪂 (swiss.social)
I've spent yesterday and today talking to researchers across the globe trying to understand the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius.
My story is here (and some threaded thoughts coming):
