Here you go. Excerpt from the article.
"Based on their investigation of the Epuyen outbreak, which involved three separate superspreader events – where a single person passed the infection to several others – Palacios said the window for transmission of the Andes virus appears to be short, about a day. People are at their peak of infectiousness on the day they develop a fever."

What is mildly positive??
The bands aren’t as bright as they could be.
Could be because the sample has very very low quantities of the DNA fragment targeted or it’s a false positive from non specific binding.

My wife is a RN and about 8 months ago, she had a patient die from hantavirus. His house was infested with rodents and they kept thinking he had COPd and other things. She kept raising hell that they needed to test him for hantavirus and finally they did but he was a goner by then.

It is a positive test with a low viral load. The lab probably ran the amplification cycle multiple times. When you start running a PCR amplification cycle a high number of times you increase the chances of a false positive.
As an imperfect analogy, you think you have an owl coming in your yard at night. You do an audio recording and listen to it. You have to turn the volume way up before you are pretty sure you hear an owl, but the signal-to-noise ratio means it could just be a noise artifact

This probably accounted for at least half of covid “cases”

What do you mean. My local news, fox, cnn,...I see headlines and talk about it every day. The slow roll beginning process doesn't have to talk about locking down, it just has to keep it in the news.

Uh huh.
So basically you have zero to back up the claim. Just that the news is talking about *gasp* the news (even though they are saying it’s nothing) and your fee-fees

Particularly true in people with prior infections. When you get into high cycle threshold values it is easy to pick up fragments and dead virus.

They assembled a test protocol specific for COVID-19 fairly early on that included elements to prevent that.
One was if you had no activity by a certain point, the result was negative.

Absolutely incorrect.
We had a daily information tracker running mid January, and we ain’t exactly a bastion of epidemiological expertise.
Lockdowns didn’t start to kick off till mid March.

You prove my point... initially the public health/WHO response was pretty much meh. Until it wasn't.
Posted on 5/11/26 at 1:17 pm to SallysHuman
How does that prove your point? What do you think we were talking about?
You realize the CDC put out travel alerts regarding it before the first official death even happened?
That US border screenings was intensified before ultimately banning all travel from China?
Entire cities were sealed in China?
That the WHO declared a global emergency?
Note all this was in January, 2 months before it went to 11 as you put it.
Sorry if it offended you, but if your impression is that it went from zero to 11 from a public health perspective you simply weren’t paying attention.

If that’s a follow up example to your earlier claim there are literally 3 deescalating statements in it.
One being a medical professional flat out saying this isn’t a pandemic scenario.
EDIT: is that why you took it down?
Imagine that, the knee jerk reactionary skims a headline, thought it bolstered his preconceived notion, and posted it without reading. Only after doing so and seeing it didn’t help his case, he lacks the intellectual honesty to leave it.

I honestly have no idea, but do you know the Ct value used for that protocol?

That trip “included visits to sites where the species of rat that is known to carry Andes virus was present,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a Thursday briefing.

Last week, The Associated Press, citing two Argentine officials investigating the origins of the outbreak, said the government’s leading hypothesis was that the couple contracted the virus while bird-watching in Ushuaia and may have been exposed to rodents at the city’s landfill.
quote:
Esteban Daniels, a birding guide in Ushuaia, said the landfill attracts eye-catching birds — the white-throated caracara is a scavenger that finds easy meals there — not the hantavirus.
“I have been visiting the rubbish dump with birdwatchers for at least 25 years,” he said by email. “We always observe from outside the perimeter with binoculars and spotting scopes. We aren’t allowed to enter the site, which has a high fence around it and security at the entrance.”
These 2 Dutch dumbf*cks contracted the hantavirus by jumping a fence and walking through the city dump looking for a damn rare bird.

I’m about 95% certain it was 30.

Just another excuse for mask mandates and lockdowns. And this board will probably eat it all up, only to later pretend that they were against masks and lockdowns from day one.

Well we got Covid because Randy and Mickey Mouse went on a bender in China and raped a bat and a pangolin.
So it tracks.
