if there’s one thing they learned about COVID, its that not actually trying to protect the country is also an *option*. Not the right option, but still, an option.

This will go well. Remember when COVID was just one guy that was completely contained?

If I know anything the infected people are already in bars, restaurants and churches.

Meanwhile the BMJ is saying: Hantavirus is a pathogen with documented person-to-person transmission and high case fatality. Therefore, **the starting point should not be to downplay the risk of airborne transmission until it is definitively proven**. The starting point should be the immediate adoption of precautionary measures to reduce airborne transmission, such as respirator use by healthcare workers, cases, and close contacts; ventilation optimisation; avoidance of unfiltered air recirculation; and portable HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filtration in all enclosed quarantine and transport settings.
RFK is busy brainstorming what he can do to pour gasoline on this fire.

Cooked.
Public healthwise, the US is COOKED.

We will see if that a “conservative approach” and “conservative solution” will result in nation wide death and doom or just localized death and doom. Was this decision based on the fact the passengers had money and could not stand being inconvenienced or was it just too pricey to setup staff and facility according to the conservatives for emergency when they gutted the CDC.

I hope they all match straight down to their nearest GOP office and demand an explanation in person.

Oh boy…I guess trump wants another pandemic to decrease gas prices again

Well, duh. The one campaign platform this administration has stayed consistent on is if another public health crisis broke out, they ain’t doing shit. The 2 weeks where everyone took COVID precautions serious has been retroactively rebranded as the worst moment in American history. Quarantines and masks are also now shameful hallmarks of Democrats even though both started under Trump and ended under Biden.

This administration is letting viruses work their way through the population. They don’t care how many people die.

What better way to louse up the midterm elections than with a new pandemic?

Honestly surprised we still have the CDC.

Wow. The passengers from Australia are in a quarantine facility for a minimum of three weeks. Other countries are trusting people to isolate themselves? Did we learn nothing from COVID?

Mismanaging a disease like this is how you get outbreaks.

Me: you couldn’t leave your house after he was done being president last time.
You: well that wasn’t his fault.
Me: sure, aside from all the pro-active steps he took to make sure you couldn’t.

We’re about two weeks out from MAHA influencers on tiktok telling you that throwing Hantavirus parties for your kids is a great way to bolster their immune system and then selling you a colloidal silver injectable supplement.

The below room temperature iq of the fucking Republicans is going bring us another covid.

Why can’t they stay home without direction from the CDC? Is it because they’re fucking stupid?

Why can’t we do things properly? Why does everything we in the US do ends up being the absolute worst thing to do?

I know the disease is unlikely to spread, but if you wanted to spread it, not quarantining the potentially infected is how you would do it.
