Are the “masks” coming back? Apparently, they already have. Because the cases! the CASES! are back. This time, it’s the Hantavirus rather than “COVID” but the early symptoms seem to be the same. In Europe, “masking” is being recommended again.
The Daily Star reports:
“A leading expert has warned that masks might need to return to stem the deadly outbreak of Hantavirus. The world is currently watching as the outbreak originating from a luxury cruise ship in the South Atlantic has claimed three lives and left several others fighting for survival. Health officials have issued urgent “mask up” warnings for those in close contact with potential cases, as fears grow over the potential for human-to-human transmission of a strain typically found in South America, as a result.”
Of course, “masking” never really ended. It just abated. Go out in public pretty much anywhere and it is a near-certainty you’ll see at least one “masker.” Often, you will see several. Why are we still seeing people “masking”? Because there was never anything like a cure put out – officially, that is – for sickness psychosis. The government did not emit a public statement to the effect that it is not only ok to take off the “masks” but that it was pointless and dangerous to wear them in the first place.
Pointless – because “masks” do not ward off any virus. If they did, then those people who work in biohazard containment would not have to wear those moon suits with their own self-contained air supply to be safe from lethal viruses.
They could just “mask up.”
Dangerous – because of the false sense of security. It’s ok to go to Wal Mart and shop. The (cough) lethal virus won’t get you – because you’re wearing a Chinese-made “mask.” May as well advise people who want to avoid STDs to go ahead and have sex with the skeeviest prostitutes and it’s safe, so long as you’re are wearing a condom made of tissue paper.
Dangerous – because “masking” made it look as if there was a “pandemic.” Thus perpetuating the appearance of one. It was something like pressuring a group of people to don KKK hoods. If you got most of them to do it, it’d look like a KKK rally, wouldn’t it?
Keep everyone – or most everyone – “masked” up and you keep most everyone afraid. Not just of the “virus” but of everyone else.
Anyhow, here we go again, it looks like.
“The World Health Organisation (WHO) is now investigating whether the Andes strain of the virus – the only variant known to potentially spread between people – is responsible. ‘Human-to-human transmission of hantavirus is extremely rare. However, cases have been linked to a specific species of the disease, called Andes virus, which circulates primarily in South America,’ explains Dr Michelle Barron, senior medical director for infection control and prevention at UCHealth.”
The Star quotes Lauren Bryan, who is an infection preventionist – interesting title – at UCHealth, who has already “issued a mask warning ahead of the summer.” She warns: “That’s when people are starting to go in and clear out their sheds and garages where deer mice have been nesting. The bodily fluids from the mice carry the virus. So if people sweep up excrement or touch dead mice or get bitten, they may be exposed. People are sweeping or cleaning without the windows open. You then can breathe it in and then it can become infected.”
How long before we begin to hear about the cases! the CASES! again?
It may be soon. Because it’s just in time to distract people from the War Tax they’re paying.
If they’re locked down again, the cost of gas will be the least of their concerns.

“When clearing out any structure that has been sitting vacant a long time and may full of dust, mold, animal droppings or other environmental toxins an N95 mask is a good idea.”
…Or, ‘Ditch the sanitizer and start exercising your immune system’
“Children who grew up on farms and went to the barn as toddlers — and you know what a toddler does to everything on the fingers — were far more robust than their urban counterparts. […]
When I get on an airplane and the flight attendant stands there with a basket of antimicrobial sanitation cloths, I smile, lean over, and graciously say: “No, thank you; I really want your bugs.””…

Should mask mandates make a comeback, may I humbly suggest…

The real funny thing – OK, not really – is the fact that back in 2004, at the time of the first SARS/MERS panic, the Australian government issued a statement to the effect that anyone selling masks, be it surgical or the ‘respirator’ type, with the claim they were effective against the virus, would be subject to fines of up to $100K or $2 million for corporations.
Yet only a few years later, all of that had been forgotten and both Australia and New Zealand were among the most diligent pushers of the magic rags.
Who can forget videos like the one from Melbourne, Victoria, where the ‘armed government workers’ – as Eric aptly calls them – were seen harassing two grannies sitting on a park bench without masks on, to make sure that they did, in fact, still have some coffee in the plastic cups they were holding!
Because of course, as long as there was at least some coffee left, the virus knew to hold off attacking anyone. Steep fines were handed out as soon as that magic elixir ran out, should the masks not come back on immediately!
More fake “jewnews” for the goyim masses…another bug, more scary scaries, oh no’s, what will we do, chicken little???
It’s all so fake & gay, but it does seem that more golems are waking up to the steady uptick of psyops being foisted upon the unsuspecting sheeples of the world…it’s going to be one helluva ride into Agenda 2030, baby!!!
As the Chinese say, “May you live in interesting times”…Indeed, indeed we do!
YMMV….
“That’s when people are starting to go in and clear out their sheds and garages where deer mice have been nesting.”
Well, exactly.
We have colossal assloads of rodents here, and when I clean out a shed or anywhere mice or rats have been nesting, I *will* wear a mask. Not just for hantavirus but for whatever else might be present and the copious dust that will inevitably fill the air from the effort and give me allergies, at very least. I also typically spray down nests with isopropanol to both keep down dust and kill any nasties they may harbor.
But the risk that you will get hantavirus is actually infinitesimally low. I think the average in Az is something like 5 confirmed cases per year. I’ve never heard of human-to-human transmission. Mostly it’s about housekeeping and keeping deer mice out of your living areas, though where I am, that’s done with difficulty.
What is interesting is that one good piece of advice was stuck with all the panic porn. When clearing out any structure that has been sitting vacant a long time and may full of dust, mold, animal droppings or other environmental toxins an N95 mask is a good idea. Or maybe the point is giving so much bad health advice that no one will believe any actual good ones.
It’s true, Queen. Some people are quite addled by the bad advice. One of the more annoying practices to come from the Time of the ‘Rona was that some people believe that wearing a surgical mask will protect others from getting your illness. So, people who are sicker than Hell will come to work wearing such a face diaper and coughing and sneezing and giving other people their cold or flu when they should’ve stayed home.
Exactly. N95 to filter particles that may be a carrier. When outside mowing, I’ll wear one since I’m an instant grass allergy reactor. That’s it though. Out shopping, public events? What a bunch of maroons. Yet here in Central WA always spot one or more at the grocery.
You got it, Sparkey.
Mowing can get to me, but especially weed whacking. There is a time and place for “PPE”. Wearing a surgical mask to go to the movies is like wearing a construction helmet to go swimming, and looks about as sane.
Be happy you don’t have Norwegian wood rats. We had them in our wood pile one year and they suck.
I don’t know, Norman. Do they eat the damn leaves off of your trees?
So fearful.

Well, well, well…At least gas might get cheaper, right?
Indeed. Strategic demand destruction possibly in the cards. The stuff is worth more overseas right now for some mystifying reason.
See it’s all OK now. All passengers released.

Of course if their wrong they will blame people for not masking everyday and everywhere. Good Lord are people stupid to fall for this. Unless junkies living on the street aren’t dying like flies it’s probably another psyop.

>Pointless – because “masks” do not ward off any virus. If they did, then those people who work in biohazard containment would not have to wear those moon suits with their own self-contained air supply to be safe from lethal viruses.
You got it, Eric.
You can bet your bippy that medical researchers who investigate hantavirus, or ebola, or any other deadly virus, will be wearing fully encapsulated suits with supplied air (probably *not* self-contained, but supplied by air line from a manifold).
Air which contains sufficient concentrations of “bad stuff” is classified as an IDLH (Immediate Danger to Life and Health) environment. Work in such environments is governed by OSHA regulations.
And in other news, Home Depot is having a special sale on chicken wire, just in time for mosquito season.
Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie was on the Jimmy Dore Show yesterday, and one of the things they talked about was the Hantavirus that corporate media, along with the World Health Organization, wants EVERYONE to be very afraid of. The sociopaths who successfully got MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of people afraid of COVID tried to get them afraid of monkey pox, bird flu, and now hantavirus….

Hi John, I forgot about monkey pox! Thanks for the reminder 😆. These psychos will keep throwing stuff at the wall till they find something that sticks; all the petty tyrants are missing their self assigned powers to order us around.
Hi Mike,
One crazy thing about monkey pox was that the sociopaths renamed it, IIRC, M-POX because the original name was HOMOPHOBIC given the way monkey pox was largely spread by gay men having $eX.
I thought it was allegedly racist because of a reference to a monkey.
You could be right ML regarding Monkey pox. IIRC, it came from monkeys in Africa, thus the possibility of it having been renamed because calling it monkey pox was deemed RACIST by liberal billionaires. It’s hard to keep track of all the various narratives concocted by liberal billionaires such as George Soros & Bill Gates that then get eaten up as TRUTH by millions of Americans.
WOW! Monkey Pox.
I saw a billboard about that on Friday in Birmingham, AL. Not along the interstates but, going via google maps directions to Oxmoor Valley golf course. It’s part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The contrasts are amazing.
However, it’s why Alabama says, “Thank God for Mississippi.”
A guy with 2 million subscribers on youtube will only lead you astray. I had to look him up after your comment and he’s every bit the gov clown I suspected.
Honestly these merchandising clickbaiters shouldn’t be fooling any man with an IQ above .. 50. I’ll go with 50. Slightly more intelligent than tapioca pudding but dumber than a retard.
Ah Christ, why didn’t I see this coming?
‘Moderna is out with timely news that it is working on early-stage research on vaccines [sic, LOL] targeting hantaviruses.
‘Bloomberg reports that Moderna is collaborating with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases on hantavirus vaccine [sic, LOL] research and is also working with Korea University College of Medicine’s Vaccine Innovation Center on a potential vaccine [sic, LOL] .
“These efforts are early-stage and ongoing and reflect Moderna’s broader responsibility to develop countermeasures against emerging infectious diseases,” Moderna said.’

Have you rolled up your sleeve to get the life-saving hantavirus jab, comrade? /sarc
*bites the head off a deer mouse*
Vanguard wants its investment in Moderna to pay off. Their funds currently hold 10% of the stock, 3% in VTSMX alone.
Covid jabs are the only product that ever made the company any money, and Control for mRNA vaccine studies must be eliminated.
I’ve seen figures published indicating that Control is only 10% of the population, but I don’t believe it is that low.
As always, it’s about the $$
Of course this will be a messenger RNA vaccine. Can you imagine someone who has had at least 2-3 COVID jabs, and then take this new (or maybe not so new) Hanta Virus vaccine? How much spike protein and messenger RNA can a body take? I surmise those who are dutifully lining up and rolling up their sleeves are the test cases for such a question. Also, this Hanta Virus was so deadly, they went ahead and let everyone disembark from the ship, and spread whatever around, even though it takes how many weeks for symptoms to develop? If it was that bad, everyone on that ship should have been quarantined, and the ship sent out to sea for a few months. But no…you cannot claim a pandemic if you quarantine it first.

From APe News:
‘The head of the World Health Organization arrived in Spain on Saturday to oversee the evacuation of more than 140 passengers and crew from a hantavirus-stricken cruise ship headed to the Canary Islands.
‘WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he would be heading to the Spanish island of Tenerife off the coast of West Africa, along with senior Spanish government officials, “to oversee safe disembarkation of the passengers, crew members and health experts.”’

A bureaucratic nobody gets to preen in front of the cameras during his 15 minutes of fame, while the Lügenpresse gives urgent front-page billing to this minor event.
Teddy’s vital message to a bated-breath world: ‘I am relevant!’
Effing clown …
As the article notes, ‘human-to-human transmission of hantavirus is extremely rare.’
Hantavirus has always been around. But it never developed into an epidemic. Apparently, it just doesn’t spread that easily:
‘Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, contracted fatal hantavirus in early 2025 likely through exposure to infected rodent droppings or urine at their Santa Fe home. Investigations revealed extensive rodent nesting in eight outbuildings on their property, with experts noting the virus is commonly inhaled from disturbed rodent materials in rural areas.’
But no else in Santa Fe was infected.
Our desperate Lügenpresse bays about the hantavirus menace, cynically projecting silhouettes of wolves onto the barn wall as the human sheeple bleat and piss themselves in fear. Same shit, different day! 🙂
“The world is currently watching as the outbreak originating from a luxury cruise ship in the South Atlantic has claimed three lives and left several others fighting for survival. Health officials have issued urgent “mask up” warnings for those in close contact with potential cases”
-THREE dead out of seven billion people in this world? Hardly sounds like a “crisis” to me. More people probably die falling off ladders every day.
If the outbreak is on a cruise ship, should be easy enough to quarantine the passengers, test them, and fumigate the ship instead of making everyone else wear a fucking mask… right?
This is the failure of the “Eyewitness News” format that began in the 1970s. Instead of reporting a story with facts (or just ignoring it because who cares about 3 people in Africa?), get a camera crew on the scene, push the emotional angle of the “story” and make sure to include graphic interviews of the victims and their families. Crying mothers and babies always make great television. Leave the viewer with a “what if that happened to me?” feeling.
Meshes well with leftist politics too. Because the leaders (Hillary Clinton being the exemplar) on the left think people are all alike and sub-average intelligence. “See this poor SOB? Next time it could be you!”
Seattle stations don’t even bother with a camera crew. They grab a screen shot from a DOT cam somewhere near the fatal wreck and call it a news story. Facts? Can’t wait for those. “Fatal car wreck sometime around 3AM”
“OK thanks Buffy, now how about that tulip festival?”
Sorry Sparkey…
But why do you live in Washington State USA????
What the F for???…Too poor to move??

Welcome to Earth..
the funny thing is, the US GovCo plans on bringing the passengers to Nebraska for observation. Why? Wouldn’t it be better to quarantine the ship at sea? I’m sure there will be a new safe n effective warp speeded into Walgreens and Sav-on by Labor Day. looking forward to see if they offer anything more than a free donut this time around.
