Only if you're packing chocolate/fudge.

Here we go with the unnamed “some experts.”

I wonder how they rank in comparison to “top men”

Might go buy another 24pk of paper towels today when I go into town. Not getting caught up in the stupidity of last time.

Experts


I hope that society as a whole has grown to be skeptical of any media outlet's unilateral characterization of someone as an "expert."

Clickbait headline.

You have one doctor who hasn’t even treated one of the patients or participated in the epidemiological investigation reporting hearsay, and multiple other high profile people putting their own words on the line like below.


quote:

Dr. Brendan Jackson, acting director of the high-consequence pathogens and pathology division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an interview Monday that the close quarters of the cruise ship environment seem to be key in this outbreak.

Cruise ships are notorious for infectious disease outbreaks because they bring together a wide variety of people and stick them in close quarters for days or even weeks — repeatedly sharing high-touch areas like buffets.

“That is definitely different than how we live most of the time,” Jackson said.

Hantavirus is so rare that spread on cruise ships was unheard of until three Hondius passengers were confirmed to have died from the Andes strain this month.

There’s no evidence to suggest the Andes strain has changed to make it more infectious, Jackson said.

While experts maintain that the risk of hantavirus’ spreading widely is extremely low, they say there’s still much to learn about the virus and how it infects people.

I think I was on page 2 of the main Covid thread, so I'm posting here just to be on page 1 in case this becomes a thing.

For the record, this won't become a thing. But if it does, I'm on page 1. But it won't become a thing.

Whenever Im reading an article that says that, “anonymous sources”, or “people on twitter” I immediately stop reading.
