Ha Ha Hantivirus

#hantavirus

And from a new source 

The video does not do a great job of explaining the map, people who got off the boat early and contacts of people on the boat while in transit before the risk was identified



Lots of solid science

Kupreanyof: when is an eruption not an eruption? with a Hantavirus side note

#Volcano #Hantavirus 

Volcanoes, especially volcanoes that may or may not just be waking up from a long nap, are so much more fun than the daily timeline.



As far as the hantavirus, RantWoman has stopped reposting every update from the World Health Organization and various national and local health authorities. The situation seems to be monitored as well as possible and RantWoman feels no need to do a deep dive to look for things to worry about.

RantWoman has noticed what seems like an uptick in mask wearing, probably not a bad idea anyway since it's still flu season. 

So let the earth steam and spew and breathe deeply everyone but maybe not right up next to a volcano.

Thumbnail. Thumbnail. My kingdom for a thumbnail.

 RantWoman is not the most sophisticated blogger creator ever.


RantWoman likes to repost YouTube videos. Usually if RantWoman posts more than one video in a blog post, RantWoman posts the visual for the first video and then just links and maybe commentary for subsequent items.


RantWoman gets that some creators want to direct people straight to their YouTube channel. RantWoman is totally good with that with ONE asterisk. Even with bad eyes, RantWoman is often lured in with a visual so having the option to do a thumbnail with a post would be very cool!


Just sayin

Did the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha'apai eruption change the earth's atmosphere?

 Total teaser story to keep an eye on as more information develops



People probably cannot count on there being enough eruptions like this to overcome all the cow farts and trash dumps methane contributions, but definitely entertaining to think about.

Laugaras Lagoon top video bakeoff

 Iceland 


Face it. RantWoman sometimes needs a fantasy break / procrastination distraction from to-dos and timelines. Hence two  Laugaras Lagoonvideos with a bit of commentary.


Lagoon visits: a perfect low-exertion excursion


fascinating reference to scent of shampoo in changing rooms.
Pictures of food from the restaurant, but RantWoman is not appropriately tempted if she has no idea what it is. 


"designed lagoon experience"
daily schedule: book a visit.
lagoon experience when there is a strong wind
Well-planned small group tour: a HUGE concept for people who don't like to or can't drive themselves
two swim-up bars
nice mention of food options

Disembarkation, different isolation practices.

#Hondius #HantaVirus disembarkation 

RantWoman is not collecting every hantavirus video that comes her way. RantWoman is also trying not to duplicate from one day to another.

RantWoman's analysis.
Wear a mask if it will make you feel safer.

Stay up to date on immunizations for a whole bunch of diseases that are showing upticks.

Know the symptoms of hantavirus, especially people who live where the virus is endemic or know someone with possible exposure. GET HELP IMMEDIATELY is symptoms suddenly worsen dramatically.

For the future: RantWoman is not sure there is a link to a source, but a vaccine exists for the Asian variant of hantavirus. Does it work at all for the Andes strain? How hard would it be to make a vaccine for people living or travelling in areas where the Andes virus is endemic?

RantWoman wishes everyone with active infections and everyone bearing with quarantine as full recovery and patience.

And now some videos






Literature is clear: SECONDARY Transmission: prolonged exposure NOT necessary. The point is contract tracing and isolation of exposure.
(RantWoman editorial comment. MASKS WORK for all kinds of situations, but try to avoid being in closed rooms with people who (might) have been exposed.)
Ventilation. Filtration


Where is the US? Or is it just as well that certain administration figures STAY OUT OF THE WAY?





A whole narrative that shoulds conspiracies.....





And meanwhile, speaking of measles and vaccination preventable diseases, reports about effectiveness...
