Hanta has been here for decades. Was very active in New Mexico when I lived there, and is easy to avoid with a dust mask, and only needed when cleaning rodent damage. It's more of an issue in low humidity places.

I know that. the problem is that the Hantavirus was named for the Hantan River area in South Korea. which means that calling it Hantavirus is racist and we have to have hug a Korean day and come up with a new name for it.

I smell a rat! Well, he probably ate it anyway.

Great. Hopefully travel restrictions remain in place for the foreseeable future. We simply can't afford another mass event.

The way I see it, one less Chicom to buy up vital property in Kalifornia

Just because a country and culture have wealth and technology does not necessarily mean that they are civilized.

By Western standards China and its culture will never be civilized in the west needs to socially distance itself from China permanently.

Seems climbing on a roof to hug a Korean might be a little dangerous right now.....

additionally, only deer mice feces carry hantavirus. Fruit/tree rats, field mice, etc. do not carry this.


So unless you have a cabin in big bear you have bugged out to and area cleaning up, dont worry about it. And if you are, spray the areas you are going to sweep with bleach before you disrupt the feces and you are good to go... just in case, wear a dust mask (same precautions should be taken regardless of CHINESEVIRUS)

When we start bombing China we need to use bombs filled with bleach. That is one nasty 3rd world place.

Few years back Yosemite closed Camp Curry due to Hanta. Only a problem if you stir up dust w/ rodent droppings. https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/outbr...ite/index.html

Hear Hear!

Crazy to drive around Palo Alto or Los Altos hills and see the Chicom ghost mansions
