old lady living in the rapidly-deteriorating US, trying to process reality. I want to have a garden someday and use my bicycle more. Interested in public health (emphasis on public). At risk of becoming a curmudgeon. Actively trying to remain curious and softhearted, despite it all.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Mayor Zohran Mamdani came into office with a historic $12B deficit left to him by the failed Eric Adams administration.
And in just 132 days, Mayor Mamdani has brought a $12 BILLION deficit to $0—all without cutting a single social service. https://youtu.be/6GXFg6RHP64?si=2NZokzTvNiNcBM9c
Mayor Mamdani Cuts $12B Deficit to $0 In 132 Days
AI6YR BenOooh, they're sending the US passengers of the hantavirus cruise to Nebraska! (they will be the folks handling any Ebola quarantine, as well, very well set up for this)
again, my point isn't to fear monger. But it just seems naive to assume this is a nothing-burger.
Concerning:
1. Very long incubation time.
2. Most infectious BEFORE and early during symptoms.
3. h-2-h transmission "not like Covid" & requires closer contact, sure, but still conditions many people experience ("household exposure," etc.)
Paragraph is from International Hantavirus Society, researchers, & clinicians.
Full report:

I guess prevalence of h-2-h transmission is debatable (?) and may require prolonged close contact.
But still. Guess who else is a ssRNA virus using spike protein to enter cells and turns out evolves incredibly rapidly?? Hmm.. it's on the tip of my tongue (hopefully not literally).
not to fear monger, but this description is making me feel sweaty.
Andes virus
“three negative-sense, single-stranded RNA (−ssRNA) strands. The small strand encodes the viral nucleoprotein, the medium strand encodes the viral spike protein, which attaches to cell receptors for entry into cells, and the long strand encodes the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), which replicates and transcribes the genome. ....spikes emanating from its surface.”
