Andes Hantavirus analysis: This chart suggests Cases 2-8 were all a single H-to-H jump from Case 1, since all of the incubation periods cluster at 22 days from Case 1 symptoms. We are now 13 days from the 'mean' date of symptoms from Cases 2-8. If there is to be a new generation of cases they should appear, on average, at about May 19 or 22 days from Gen 2. Strict protocol would support a 42-day quarantine from last contact or about June 21st for all exposed individuals.


BREAKING: One of the 17 American passengers evacuated from a cruise ship in the Canary Islands has tested positive for the hantavirus but is not showing any symptoms, U.S. health officials said. apnews.com/article/hantav…


The CDC quietly changed its hantavirus protocol on Sunday. High-risk exposures now include being within 2 rows of a known case on a plane. Not sure the science on that, but sometimes decisions are just judgement calls. More analysis soon here 👇 insidemedicine.substack.com/subscribe



Eccolo Jake Rosmarin nel periodo covid a pubblicizzare la vaccinazione





FFS, they're doing it again: Deb Birx, former Covid Task Force Coordinator, calls for "widely available" PCR "testing" for hantavirus, hints it should be used in schools "Because we're not testing populations... we don't really know whether there are subclinical cases" "There could be more human-to-human transmission than we actually see" "It's never good to track viruses through symptoms, we should be tracking viruses through blood tests like PCR, we learned that with Covid" "Many universities were able to open and schools were able to open because they provided weekly testing" "We need to make testing more widely available to those who need it"

BREAKING: At least one American who was a passenger aboard the MV Hondius has tested positive for hantavirus, and another has shown mild symptoms, according to HHS. Follow live updates: abcnews.link/Qt6pZBY


In Chile, a child under monitoring after a family hantavirus death tested PCR positive BEFORE symptoms. 24 hours later, he became sick. Early negative or asymptomatic periods clearly do not mean non-infectious.

HHS through @ASPRgov and @CDCgov is supporting @StateDept in the repatriation of 17 American citizens from the MV Hondius cruise ship affected by the Andes variant of hantavirus. All 17 are currently en route via @StateDept airlift to the United States, with two of the passengers travelling in the plane's biocontainment units out of an abundance of caution. One passenger currently has mild symptoms and another passenger tested mildly PCR positive for the Andes virus. As of now, the airlift will transport passengers to the ASPR Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Center (RESPTC) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center/Nebraska Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska before taking the passenger with mild symptoms to a second RESPTC at its final destination. Upon arrival at each facility, each individual will undergo clinical assessment and receive appropriate care and support based on their condition.
