    The Charlie Kirk assassin actually had the hantavirus and Charlie he was about to totally change his mind on Israel because he actually connected the hantavirus to Israel and they gave the shooter the hantavirus but cured him after because the virus deluded his mind into thinking trans people were people and we definitely need an explanation like this to explain why a kid that grew up with guns and hate towards minorities suddenly had a mental break when he met one of the like five trans people in Utah and realized they were just a normal person.

    There ya go. Spread the truth my friends.

    Right wing conspiracy aside, I’m a little worried, I think I read that two people with no connection in southern Spain just came down with this, and that one of the people that caught it was two seats behind somebody with it on a plane. If this shit goes airborne, this world pops off you have no fucking idea, this is covid on fucking steroids, 50% fatality rate bitch.

      Suspected cases, not confirmed cases. It could be those two people just got colds, which have similar symptoms. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so reporting minor symptoms like that is best practice. It doesn’t mean the world is ending. Let’s not jump to hysterics just yet.

        If it is going to pop off I live in America and RFK jr is in charge of CDC and half the country are idiots that will ignore any safety measures so I’m fucked regardless of if I worry about it or not. Might as well get on with my life and whatever happens, happens.

        The cases I referenced were confirmed by Health officials, by reuters. They were tested and found to have it.

          What’s your source? Because both Reuters and BBC say they’re suspected cases yet to be confirmed.

          Don’t willingly spread misinformation, my guy. Media literacy is important and whilst this is obviously serious you’re making it out to be way scarier than it currently is.

          Currently, the two cases are still only suspected and it’s more likely they’re ill with something else than hantavirus, given what we know about the virus. Let’s hope it stays that way.

              That’s a totally normal response to a request for sources and nuanced information around a highly changing and scary topic. Good work.

              Take this as a learning and growth opportunity, mate.

                This is all you do is give people shit? Maybe you should read and that would give you the ability to contribute positively instead of just being nagging, which is the nicest way I can put your personality bro.

                  There is no source for your claims, that’s my whole point… and at no point did I insult you, you’re just offended at being called out 😂

                  Truth matters.
