@apsmunro Is the vaccine near to ready for production/marketing and is that why the media have been briefed to create a panic about the virus?

Looking for something to read this weekend? I’m running a trial for a hantavirus vaccine Catch up on the outbreak with me, including: - timeline of events - what we’ve learnt so far - why this isn’t the next pandemic No ivermectin banter I’m afraid 🤷‍♂️ Link in next post

@mcdermottkc_ What about the ruthless way Starmer expelled longstanding Left members of the Labour Party? His appalling treatment of Corbyn? His appalling treatment of Diane Abbott ?

Mandelson is an example of that. Some of his domestic policies won’t suit everyone. But, it seems to me, he is a genuinely decent man. Not everyone will like every policy ..even within his own party. But politics is a long game, albeit that “a week is a long time in politics” /

I have never met Keir Starmer (as far as I am aware) but I know a good number of people who know him well. My impression is of someone who is in politics for the right reasons … essentially to improve life for others. He doesn’t get everything right … 1/

@JuliaHB1 should be ashamed of herself for making hateful comments about the brave runners

@Keir_Starmer Yes,break with Israel and cease warmongering, tax the billionaires

We must respond to the message that voters have sent us and break with the status quo once and for all. We must confront the big challenges the public face with real answers. That is how we will deliver the change that people are desperate for and build a stronger and fairer country. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A bigger charlatan than Farage exists. And it is this man. The man who filled hotels with asylum-seekers, then stopped processing their asylum claims and let them stew for years in local communities. The man who, as soon as Labour got into power, pretended he had nothing to do with any of it and started putting up flags and stirring up resentment for the people he had stockpiled. The man who then crossed over to Reform and said that only he could mend what he broke. Round of applause for Bobby Generic.

@JuliaHB1 @jessicaelgot Plus the rest of us,who believe that society must care for the young. Unlike miserable old Scrooges like you!

@jessicaelgot You know it's mostly parents who pay the taxes that fund the "free childcare", right?

Tomorrow is phase three. Nothing quite sums up phase two like this video, which was all about the No10 reshuffle and was launched on the same day of a multibillion free childcare offer saving parents thousands - which was barely ever mentioned.

@apsmunro @fee_bee_63 @taipan168 Devi Sridhar was ready to write a book on it!

@fee_bee_63 @taipan168 🚨 yes it will 🚨

New update on the hantavirus outbreak The news has developed at pace, with significant case and genomic updates in the past few days It is clear this will not be the next pandemic, and I will explain why Link in following post

Oh @JuliaHB1 will be so upset!

So,being attacked by someone you know is a lesser trauma than by a stranger?

@copesint Thank you for your sanity. It is bizarre how people are salivating and getting excited about this virus.

I'm coming out of private because this hantavirus thing is getting ridiculous. Before I explain the facts of the virus, here's why you should listen to me: Unlike most of the people on my feed, I am a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear defense officer. My job is to ensure that large, closely-packed groups of people are not infected by diseases both endemic to the environment and manufactured by an enemy. Andes hantavirus has an extremely low transmissibility rate. You need to be in prolonged, close contact with someone to catch it. Transmission between humans is documented but so rare that it is considered exceptional. This is not COVID (for example, the common cold is a type of coronavirus). The 40% mortality rate figure is also a distortion of reality. The disease is treatable and anywhere with an adequate hospital can save you – rates are between 1-15%. This 40% rate is because Andean hantavirus is endemic to a region with very poor access to medical care. If you live in a developed country, you have nothing to worry about. (cdc.gov/hantavirus/abo…) The chances of the virus mutating to become more infectious are low, but not impossible. If it does become more infectious, it will also become less lethal. This is a basic, natural evolutionary tradeoff to ensure the virus's propagation. Of seven suspected (two confirmed) cases, three have already died. Based on the case timeline, they likely contracted the disease in Argentina before boarding (they boarded on April 1 and first showed symptoms on April 6 – the virus takes at least one week to show symptoms). That leaves four people who could possibly transmit the virus, all of whom are hospitalized. (who.int/emergencies/di…) The flight attendant had minimal if any contact with the infected passenger who was removed and isolated before the plane took off. Her symptoms also onset far too early to be related to this case. She has already tested negative for hantavirus. If you have questions I'm happy to answer, but there is genuinely no threat to public health from this outbreak on a cruise ship. Don't fall for people fearmongering a pandemic for engagement money.

@bbclaurak @AndreaEganGS @UniteSharon As the number one publicist for racists - Boris Johnson and now Farage, are you pleased with your efforts, Laura?

in last half hour, Unison boss @AndreaEganGS has said Labour needs to change its leader and policies, and @UniteSharon has said party needs to 'change or die' - if Cabinet won't move against Starmer, will the unions move? Unions meeting this afternoon....

@AdamWagner1 The big question will be - is the leader of the Reform party, a man outed for his antisemitic beliefs, welcome on the antisemitism march?

Are we risking repeating the 1930s when it comes to Jew-hatred in the UK? My new Substack substack.com/home/post/p-19…

Yes,you should point out that without Russia,we would be living under Nazi rule

@GyllKing Maybe, in the scheme of things to worry about, it isn't really as bad as you might imagine open.substack.com/pub/trusttheev…

This Hantavirus that we’re not to worry about, that’s really hard to transmit but has a fatality rate of up to 40%? Three of the five confirmed cases from the Rat Virus Death Ship ™️ have died. That’s 60%. Seven Brits left the cruise on 30 April. Incubation is up to 8 weeks.

@PhilipProudfoot He hasn't been cleared to resign by his controllers yet

The hardest thing to understand about Keir Starmer refusing to resign is just “why” — he doesn’t have a vision, he isn’t committed to anything, he’s a completely empty, brittle, wooden man. What is he motivated by? Why does he want this? Is it just feeling big and important?

@DanCardenMP We have to make the case for a more compassionate UK. We don't beat reform by being reform light which is why the immigration proposals are an unmitigated disaster. We are losing far more to the left than to the right. We need to shift to the left and start being radical again

@JuliaHB1 What will his Zionist backers do without him? They can't support Reform as its lead by someone with a history of antisemitism

You've got to admire the man's ego. He is the ONLY thing standing between the entire country and CHAOS. What glorious self-importance.

@Councillorsuzie In that case,are you calling for an end to us sending arms,£££millions and military support for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza?

I’m sick to death of Palestine having anything to do with the way people vote in Britain. Vote for how things are dealt with in BRITAIN!’ - We have lost our minds if we think this is acceptable!

Are you including Russia? Many Russians sacrificed their lives and our Western politicians are trying to erase their memory
