AIBU? Hantavirus Liverpool

Think about it. If you had to walk 11 miles say, to go shopping, would that feel close?

Remember they are also in close quarantine, i.e. not able to move outside the accommodation they're placed in.

Also for.all.thw mocking 'dont lick.a rat' comments i would say THIS strain of Hantavirus does spread reasonably easily. The outbreak in Argentina in 2018 showed that. 1 person who was infected literally passed the index case in the toilet at the party. Now obviously the OPs fear about catching it in Liverpool is mad but the potential for spread is absolutely there once they have been left at home tomorrow and 'asked' to.isolate. they are NOT being forced. And does nobody else see the parallels with 2020? A government distracted by nonsense - then it was Brexit means Brext, now its Starmer fighting for his job. The UK is AGAIN being the outlier (along with the US, yay!) In how this is being handled. Also the junior health secretary just quit (an ex surgeon, so understands actual health as well as politics) and Wes Streeting the health secretary is meeting Starmer today. Is he going to quit too? If so who's taking charge and WHY? Does nobody want ro be the next Matt Hancock?

No theyre being taken home. THEN theyre left to do.as they please

If people are being expected/asked to quarantine at home, the powers that be are hardly going to say "right, off you go to get the bus back to wherever it may be", are they?

But it doesn't concern you. Stop focussing on the very few posts that feed into your unreasonable fears.

And very tiresome.

Harsh but ignorant.

Harsh, but fair. 😂😂😂

Bloody hell, plenty of us wirralians here isn’t there? Or wools/Jedis if you’d prefer 😁

I was at arrowe park last week with DD, it has a John Lennon themed superlambbanana outside the women’s & children department and she’s been trying to say super lamb banana since, but she’s 2 so she’s furious when people don’t know what she’s saying.

They will be taken home. Then they'll be left to do as they please so she's not that far off tbf.

Well it is about everyone really if it WERE to spread. Do you want another lockdown? I dont. Its a lot easier to quarantine 20 odd people (who are probably retired to be able to do a cruise like that so dont likely have kids to look after ir work ti get to) than it is to do a big lockdown in 3 months time.

I am beginning to think the OP is making it up - the people in question will not be travelling to Liverpool by train/boat any other form of transport to find you and infect you. Do you imagine they will be thrown out on the street and left to go where they please? You know they won't, so stop being ridiculous.

Why are you making these poor people’s suffering all about you?

I wasn't really concerned, until I saw how easily it spread in the Andes in 2018.He infected someone after just briefly walking past them, and a couple who were sat a few tables away.

That was the same strain they think was on the cruise ship.

Lol, London is pretty dirty tbf

Im not sure why everyone is so relaxed here really. Frankly the OP has a point. No, she is no more likely to be coming into contact with them in Liverpol than anywhere else BUT they are being sent home tomorrow and asked to stay indoors for 6 weeks. Thats it. As far as I can tell there is no legal requirement for them to do so. No civid style £10k fine. Just 1 phonecall a day which as most people dont have a landlines will be to their mobile probably and they can answer anywhere.
So the only protection to the country AGAINST the potential for future lockdowns is just trusting these guys to do as theyre asked for 6 WHOLE WEEKS. No popping to the shops for some bread, no I'll just go for a quick coffee since I feel fine and its been 3 weeks etc.
I dont feel reassured at all to be honest
But OP you wont see them.on ymtheir way home. They're not allowed to use public transport to GET home. After that, there's nothing to stop them though.

Try to avoid licking them in that case.

Stop it.
Just stop it and give your head a wobble.

You know perfectly well that they won't be using public transport. Nor will they be wandering around in public looking for a conference to gatecrash.

Please be rational about this and stop making up unrealistic scenarios. It isn't going to happen. It is far more likely that someone you work with will have a cold or may be incubating covid or chicken pox.

As people have already said, it’s been confirmed they will not be travelling home on public transport.

Who’s small and furry and capable of swimming across rivers? 🤔

Elsewhere in the world, they are isolated in facilities for weeks, and quarantine at home later is strictly monitored. Those in the UK are not even legally obliged to stay home once released. It's ridiculous.

Of course you reply to the one post similar to your extreme thinking and ignore all the many, many posts explaining why you will be fine.

I couldn’t live like this. This over arching anxiety must be ruining your life OP. Get some help.

I'm from London, but now live in Yorkshire, with this on my doorstep. I prefer here to London.
