I'm so happy Ivermectin is in ample supply nationwide

Any of this sound familiar?

Three days ago, 15 people diagnosed with the hantavirus were removed from a cruise ship and quarantined in Nebraska.

Today, another at least 5 and may 15 more cases have been identified.

As best anyone can tell, the virus MAY run its course in 12-20 days.

As I recall, a few years ago, we learned that 12 people from a cruise ship were quarantined in California with something called COVID-19.

The president at the time – Trump – assured us the virus would run its course in 14 days and we have nothing to worry about.

Half a million dead Americans later became 1,250,000 dead Americans. But who's counting?

And now its hantavirus, nothing to worry about, it’s under control. And the same moron is President.

But, hey . . . there’s always ivermectin from the large-animal vet. We can drink bleach and shine UV light down our throats. And RFK Jr. recommends vitamin A and the tanning bed.

Thank God Dr. Fauci is not here to interfere and frighten us.

New posters asking about Ivermectin. I feel like someone has an overstock and is peddling it.

5. "Mary Tallen Bowden MD" is trying to get rich by peddling ivermectin

From Wonkette: Don't Worry, The Worst People In The World Are Here To Spread Hantavirus Conspiracies And Shill Ivermectin

And Marjorie Taylor Greene is publicising this quack as worth buying from:

4. FWIW, I think your figures are completely wrong

Another CDC team has been dispatched to meet returning American passengers in Nebraska, the agency said. At a briefing Saturday, a CDC official said that the 17 US passengers – none of which have symptoms – will be transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which is home to the the National Quarantine Unit, a federally funded facility.

I can find nothing saying any American has shown symptoms, let alone been confirmed as having the virus.

To date, no cases of Andes virus have been reported in the United States as a result of this outbreak.

https://www.cdc.gov/hantavirus/situation-summary/index.html

A total of 8 cases have symptoms from all countries: https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2026-DON600
That includes a Dutch couple (cases 1 and 2), a Brit in ICU in Johannesburg (case 3), a German woman who died on the ship (case 4), the ship's British doctor, now in hospital in the Netherlands (case 5), a British guide on the ship, now in hospital in the Netherlands (case 6), a Swiss man, now in Switzerland (case 7), and a Brit now on Tristan da Cunha (case 8).

6. If they are remanded to Nebraska for 14 days, we should be good

These viruses are the selling point to me on having stringent health testing prior to coming into the US from Mexico or Canada prior to testing. I don’t believe this is even in Mexico, but during outbreak scenarios.

7. COVID-19 sure thinned the herd of the worst of the American rabble.

Maybe hantavirus will finish off the rest.

Break out the bleach and the U/V lights, red-state America!

10. If you're counting on hantavirus for that job

you're going to need a lot more rodents. A whole lot more.
