Page 11 | AIBU? Hantavirus Liverpool

I’ve just seen that the Hantavirus is in Liverpool?! They’ve been brought to Liverpool? I’ve got a 2 day work conference there and now I’m worried 😢 I suffer terribly with health anxiety. AIBU?

If my auntie looks out of her back bedroom window she can see the isolation unit through some trees. She has to drive past it to get to Sainsburys. She's going to Sainsburys tomorrow to do her weekly shop. Does anyone need anything?

The OP needs some toilet rolls. A trolley load at least. Best get some pasta, dried yeast and bread flour too.

Although if it's coming from the diseased ridden cesspit that is Liverpool (for clarity, the OPs description not mine), best get some bleach to dowse it in too.

But it says they can be let out in 72 hours which will be when I’m at the conference 😢

They’ll be going home to self isolate for 6 weeks. Not strolling around doing a tour of the Liver Building and the Cavern

I am just really looking forward to the inevitable “me and my aunt Beryl definitely had Hanta at Christmas 2025, we went to the GP and he said there was a new virus going around and loads of people were down with it” and “we all knew about Hanta virus at October half term because the school had a letter about the rat licking trip being postponed” posts.

Not classism, just plain old twattishness. There are plenty of middle and upper class people in the north.

I live 2 miles from Arrowe Park hospital and I’m not worried.
Liverpool is over the water, miles away.

Would you care to explain your nasty remark please?

“Monitored” - umm… ok.

Look forward to seeing what that looks like in reality 👍

Show quote history

During swine flu it was 2-4 calls a day, at random times, with police attendance if you didn’t answer and the threat of arrest if you left your home.

I had the police attendance my door at 2am because I slept through the phone call. The next night at 3am I burst into tears on that call as I’d had 5 calls that day (because I didn’t answer one) and just wanted to sleep.

They’ll only be release under strict protocols as the authorities know we cannot afford Hanta in the general population from this, especially because general lockdowns wouldn’t work.

I think they’ll be under even tighter monitoring than swine flu because of the Covid issues. There’s no guarantee they’ll even be allowed to leave arrowe park yet.

During one of the recent meningitis outbreaks, someone on here was demanding that Chris Whitty be wheeled out to deliver reassuring messages again, as if failing to do so was ignoring the problem causing people to fear that 'it was all being covered up'.

How long before the same happens over this?

Not saying any incompetence would be done on purpose. It would just be incompetence by incompetent people. I mean they struggle with even the most basic stuff, so I’m not sure whether I’d trust the NHS to do anything out of their normal routine.

For UK health security agency and infectious disease specialists this is their normal routine

We are technically Wools or plastic Scousers but no one knows where New Bo is so I would always say I’m from Liverpool

Also if you tell a Scouser you are from the Wirral they think you are posh! Yeah Seacombe and Liscard so very posh!

Why would they not?
If they dont do things by the book they will have much more work to do with more people in hospital

Or maybe some people who are suspicious of what's happening here want the 20 people quarantined in the facility for the whole 6 weeks rather than being 'asked' to self isolate at home is because they DONT want another lockdown?

Show quote history

You can’t quarantine people every time there’s an illness talked about in the media.

There isn’t going to be another lockdown. This isn’t a new virus. There are over 100000 cases a year globally and the world has not yet descended into a pandemic over it.

We had the same hysteria over monkeypox and meningitis and oh look, all a storm in a teacup.

There has been 0 suggestion that this is going to bring about another lockdown, other than the hysteria of the scaremongerers out there.

And if you’re speaking from anywhere in the vicinity of London, you can’t seriously be saying the North is less safe than Khan’s crime ridden London? I visited there last weekend, and there were police cars all over the place, sirens blasting out. The locals didn’t bat an eyelid, which leads me to think it’s pretty much the norm in our capital city.

OhcantthInkofaname · 11/05/2026 21:41

I am in the US. Most of the US persons evacuated from cruise ships have been sent to my city. We have a bio containment unit that is second to none. One person is completely isolated within this unit and I think another 17 are in a lesser type of isolation.
I am going to go to this medical center tomorrow for a nuclear stress test and an visit with my cardiologist. I am not afraid.
