AIBU? Hantavirus Liverpool

[mumstheword1x]

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?

Isn't there a warehouse (air conditioned)or two stuffed to the rafters with PPE somewhere in the cold dark North?

Actually think I’ll get it - my mum is going to visit when she gets back from France - via the deadly Wirral

these things come in 3’s

my dad died Thursday
some twat hit my car tonight

stands to reason!

Which will be instantly moved South if needed!

If you hear any phlegmy voices it’s perfectly normal

My sister is due to have a baby in the hospital next week
she is not worried

Has anyone ever told you that You. Are. Hilarious. I mean, where does one acquire such wit and the the novelty of what you say is just chef's kiss.

It's ridiculous that they were brought to this country. They should have isolated on the boat.

I'm sorry about your Dad.

Unless they are speaking a different language in which case you’ve gone wrong and are in North Wales

I honestly don’t know how some MNers ever leave their homes with the amount of hysteria and anxiety they have.

Thanks - it’s okay we where estranged but it’s left a messy international mess to sort out x

🤣

I moved from Liverpool 7 years ago you’re right to be worried it’s grim there now!! I visit family weekly and when I come out of the station, the first thing I see are beggars, druggies, Irish bars with fat, tattooed middle aged men outside shouting, and rubbish everywhere. I used to stick up for the city but now I see how much it’s changed im so glad I left. It used to be well known for the friendly scousers but they’re a dying breed now 😕

At no point in that article do they mention anything relating to a pandemic. In fact this passage specifically makes that clear. "“This is not Covid. This is really not Covid. It’s not even influenza. It’s an unusual person-to-person event, and it might have happened because, perhaps, of a closed environment on a ship,” said Dr. Lucille Blumberg, an infectious disease specialist who is the former deputy director of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa, of the cruise ship outbreak."

It's a nasty disease yes that causes outbreaks in rare human to human transmission. Outbreaks are not pandemics.

The people in question are going to continue self-isolating at home: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g83vddnz0o They're not going to be out and about in 72 hours.

Oh yes, let's leave people who have been exposied to a disease that's more easily passed on when people are in close quarters to each other on a cruise ship that's already contaminated instead of a sterile hospital where they can have access to medical treatment and doctors. Very clever idea.

😁
We had containers full of hand gel in the car park at work because it was a fire risk to have so much alcohol gel in the warehouse.
I am also in the cold dark North.

11 miles is miles away

Are you sure that’ll be enough? Should they not be crisped up in the oven?

Yep
i would love the sniffy ‘the north’ view to see some of the houses in Caldy 😂
I had some excellent early twenties wild parties in those amazing properties

Give me strength 🤦‍♀️

Yes especially Croft drive easy in Caldy houses with a tennis court and room for a pony as another famous person from Birkenhead would say

I heard that the only reason they are going to Arrowe Park was because some of the cruise passengers had an important conference they needed to get to in Liverpool, and that’s why they only need to isolate for 72 hours.

You don't actually know that - if it is, it would likely be a new strain. There is only one known strain of hantavirus that can be transmitted human to human, and that is found in South America. The likelihood is, the source is on the ship and all the patients thus far have had direct contact with the source. I feel for you, since you clearly have anxiety, but your scaremongering is objectionable. You're clearly not an epidemiologist so stop it with your nonsense.

East I mean , but if the conference us in Liverpool you will be far enough away from it
