The cause of death was ingesting/inhaling rat turds

I remember that. I think it was traced back to kangaroo rats, and or bat feces.

Hantavirus has been around for a long time.



And it's WAY deadlier than Corona. 1/3 of all people who get it die. Fortunately there is no human to human transmission. If it ever does that. It will make this one look like child's play.

ETA: Hanta is the reason we have a supply of N95's at our house. I won't do any spring cleaning work in our shed or garage without one on. Sweeping or blowing out areas like this is one "common" route of transmission. A lady in the county south of us died from it a year or two ago. The hotspot in our state is down south. Once upon a time for work I had to go into an enclosed outspace space shed that was covered with mouse poop. I was freaking out for weeks after that.

The media is going to report every single death from a weird-sounding sickness for many months to come.

Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't they saying that about the Coronavirus before COVID-19?

No, there are six other types of Coronavirus that spread human to human; including some of the viruses that cause the common cold.

WTF is wrong with them?


They are poor in a communist run country and are starving so they eat anything they can get their hands on. Surprised we haven't seen weird viruses come from Venezuela yet.

Damn they are gross. They just see something moving and immediately think “I think I’ll eat that.”.

There are some rather disgusting videos going around on twitter, we really need to think about banning Chinese travel permanently.
