Oh lord…please not another pandemic with the #ApricotAnus in charge 😨

xCh3ckerx27

The center of the country?

The Resistance CO25

Seems like a good epicenter for the latest fuck up from this regime.

Skipper19

In 2025, the Trump Regime laid off all full-time employees in the CDC’s Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP), responsible for inspecting cruise ships & investigating outbreaks--which impacted the CDC's ability to conduct in-person inspections. The program was funded by the cruise industry, not taxpayers.

Trauma Mary16

Well at least they are going to a good unit. I've read up on that unit back when we were dealing with ebola. They know their stuff

BeaglesResist❌👑We Are Not Moving on from the trumpstein Files14

I know a lot of people love cruises but this industry should have been ended with Covid. Besides being floating petri dishes, cruise ships are big polluters of our already-struggling ocean environments. Now we live in a time when politicians actively oppose disease precautions and prevention.

putawomanincharge.bsky.social12

This could be really serious. And RFK jr? No f ing way

txsilverbear.bsky.social8

There it is. RKF “Meh Brainworm” Kennedy, Jr. will see to it that any infected people are somehow let outside of whatever quarantine they are put in and then they can use the epidemic as a reason to stop midterms. Mark my words, there is going to be something happen surrounding this.

noahs-arc0602.bsky.social8

Are you kidding so under Trump we have another possible spread of a deadly plague . Person I think they need to be quarantined on the boat . Just what America needs

Dogs10Gods07

Nebraska overwhelmingly voted for trump, so this seems fair. 🤔 RFK Jr should be welcomed with open arms there!! 🤷‍♀️

SafeAmericaPAC7

The "CDC is dispatching teams". Teams? Oh, they mean the lone guy left in the infectious diseases department. Hope he brings a mask. Or a UV light to shine down his throat.

Annmarie6

I'm old enough to remember the last time the "escorted" sick passengers off a cruise ship infected with Covid. 1.2 million dead Americans later...

K🤦‍♀️𝙑6

I didn’t know people still worked at the CDC. 🤷‍♀️ Also, they’re gonna ship them way out to Nebraska, because in one new cycle they hope media will forget that they’re way the hell out there.

CatHostage6

I cannot imagine anything more horrifying than having been exposed to a deadly disease and then rounded up by THIS CDC. I'm envisioning a movie where the sick person spends the whole time trying desperately to escape so they can see a doctor.

kimby7000.bsky.social5

Absolutely! University of Nebraska Medical Center Biocontainment Center! Remember when those people who had Ebola during 2014 outbreak. That's where those people went...state of the art in containment. Probably the best place for them. From a proud "blue dot" Nebraskan

Vet_Grandma AKA Madam Defarge5

Oh lucky them!!! They should feel so much safer now!

Benj5

I remember when conservatives considered these kinds of measures tyrannical...

Middlerage5

So in other words, Fuck you Nebraska 🫠

Debbie Chavez Vinette5

We still have a CDC?

lotusfalling.bsky.social5

Leave them all on the ship. Why are they bringing the disease here? And why the hell don't they have an island on each coast for this sort of thing?

adorableoddities.bsky.social5

Pretty sure this is how trump let covid into the US as well.

Mountain Blew4

This has a really high mortality rate, and human to human transmission is rare, but these viruses mutate. What's to say that this one hasn't done that ! Pretty scary !

asteraceaeg.bsky.social4

Umm… I thought there were some passengers who disembarked early & are back in the US & hadn’t heard from authorities. Did I read that wrong?

Plain Simple Garak4

Me last night: Well at least it was in the middle of the ocean, so they can sort it out in some coastal area.. Today: *RFK moves threat to the geographical center of the country*

Laurie R4

Sounds like a rinse and repeat like Covid…….remember, it was contained……right!!🤬

Obearwan_Kenobi4

I simply do not trust the US to handle this well. No telling what kind of BS RFK Jr. is about to spew.

AwntieWithaW3

All the need is to drink milk in a hot tub while wearing jeans

Josie3

What could go wrong 😳🤦‍♀️ Do we even have any credible people left in the CDC?

Agrippa3

RFK Jnr is heading to Nebraska to oversee the situation. Racoons are booking flights to Florida and tanning beds are booked out.

MOLLOY3

why hasn't this boat been torpedoed yet?

SammyTheCat2

Oh, which of the ignorant, deadly Dump regime’s remaining “CDC teams” are left to meet the American passengers who are aboard the plague ship? 😡

ab4aoc.bsky.social2

Why did the national news say last night that people are already in Virginia, Texas, California and Arizona from the boat? And the only state willing to say if they are quarantining was Arizona and that person is not quarantining.

lindakp.bsky.social2

Has the CDC even got enough employees left to form a "team"??

Roel Griffioen2

I hope there are a few sensible people left at the CDC.

Michele ✌️💙2

Is there anyone left in the CDC that isn’t a quack?

LetsFaceIt2

I hope they have enough livestock deworming medicine.

Mandy's Mom2

Nebraska must have stockpiles of Ivermectin and bleach injections ready to go.

ARTSTRADA MAGAZINE2

Do they swarm the ship, yank off everyone's "woke" mask, kickem in the crotch and inject them with Ivermectin in 2026?

RED WHITE & SHOE2

Yup. Just went to the store and doubled my purchase of TP.

Our Lady of Perpetual Disappointment2

Is Nebraska where the best medical care for human-to-human transmission Hanta virus is located?

Ugly Old Man2

Ah, the great coastal state of Nebraska

Vintage Gay✌️2

We still have a CDC? 🙄

bergstromk.bsky.social2

Too late!!!!!!!! They already let infected people back in the US days ago. Trump and his administration are morons!!!!!!

sewin.bsky.social2

We still have a CDC?

Richard Mhortai2

Why do I have a feeling this ends badly....

Vicky S MEd Be A Reader2

Are they going to a detention center?

Diana2

Noting California voters would be fools not electing the former Secretary of HHS during the Pandemic, as the next Governor. This isn't a time for trainees... Becerra has specific experience, and Biden's HHS saved so many lives. With RFK, jr. at HHS, we're at a public health tipping point.

qakl.bsky.social2

As trump opined about covid, we'll all be ok.

nancymaine24.bsky.social2

Hopefully on a CDC jet, in hazmat gear, and kept in quarantine for however long it takes. I also hope the other countries do the same. The last thing we need is another pandemic with the 🍊🤡 in charge.

wth are we even doing?6

Who in the CDC? How reliable is their reporting?

Franklin MacDougal 🐾 🫘🐸🤘4

They're monitoring it. I feel very confident... we're all going to die!!!!

PeaceSeeker2

Thank you for a sane, reasoned, responsible description of the situation.

he dead yet?10

I'm surprised they still have Emergency Operations Centers tbh 🤷🏼‍♀️

Jayme Ruimveld9

Well, their announcement means absolutely nothing to us, but I have read informational posts from several knowledgeable medical doctors and it does seem that the risk for casual exposure is quite minimal. What world when the CDC speaks, you no longer listen. 🙄

civil4liberties.bsky.social6

So? In light of how trump screwed up the covid19 pandemic. And the quack we have running our healthcare. And now this? What is this, some kind of Apprentice Hunger Games?

Jay from Quahog4

So exactly like last time we’re not even fucking paying attention, perfect 😮‍💨

Shainzona3

BUT it has been classified a level - which means something more than not being talked about.

IdahoGal10062

Amazing to me that in both Trump's terms we get a virus to deal with. This one, after COVID, I think might be worse due to RFK Jr. and the decimation of the CDC.

Ariel Méndez13

From Bend, OR where I live! The local comments on this story have been so heartwarming. "Dr Kornfeld was my sister's oncologist. He is a wonderful, caring person." "He was my mother's oncologist & was SO good to her! ... when I was younger ... he had a license plate that said 'Corn Dog'"

Skyleigh Uhrich4

This is the variant that is human to human contact which it’s normally animal to human. Extremely dangerous situation!

moth2

ugh, this is exactly why we need global solidarity, not isolation. public health doesn't respect borders. how do we rebuild trust in international cooperation when our own govt pulls out?

chickenfoot87.bsky.social2

The US left the WHO due to its response to COVID. In other words, the WHO supports the use of science, not conspiracy theories or gateway hypothesis. COVID has killed 21 million, mass deaths from vaccination have not been proven, and the 2020 election was not stolen. The real threat to life is MAGA

Onisillos3

I'm getting the feeling that I should be investing in ivermectin manufacturers...

Joe Rojas-Burke2

Back in 2021, Methodist Hospital suspended Bowden’s hospital privileges for “spreading dangerous information which is not based in science”. Bowden sued (and recently lost, was ordered to reimburse the hospital for its expenses in defending against the suit). quackwatch.org/defamation-s...

James Umbanhowar2

Most RNA viruses don't even enter the nucleus, if I remember correctly.

S. Kramer2

Ugh! Not only is it disinformation, statements like her's make my pet's prescriptions more expensive.

Mary Jane Shanklin2

FIRST DO HARM is the #deathcult motto.

Dr Noor Bari18

Had* I mean, I don’t really know all the properties in this novel situation…

Jonathan Douglas PhD CPsych16

Like…if people start dying maybe PUT ON A %**#^^ MASK

Stevie Ped11

I'm still seeing no down side to wearing a mask when flying...

Barry McKinnon9

It's worrisome that the lesson most of the public learned from the first 3 months of covid was "don't harsh my mellow" and "my brunch is more important than anyone's health". The mortality rate is quite high for hantavirus, so maybe that will get people to pay attention.😒

Steph7

I don't trust the long incubation period at all. People had a hard enough time maintaining quarantines for a couple weeks after COVID exposure. This is up to 8 weeks. That's plenty of time for stir crazy to set in and for people to start wandering.

Stuart #FBPE 🇪🇺5

Avoid cruise ships? Just a suggestion. They are well known as floating Petri dishes

Author Michael R. Hicks4

I'm sorry, it's totally not your fault, but I literally laughed out loud when I read "If this outbreak is handled well..." I think that ship has already left port, slammed into an iceberg, broke in half, and sank with all hands.

John La Rooy3

We used to stop outbreaks with contact tracing. Now someone coughs near a possum and we hold three press conferences and post an infographic on Instagram. We can’t do it anymore, boys. We just don’t know how.

Terry Boyd3

People learning from the past?!?!? Hahahhahhahhahahhahhahahhahahahahh!! Nothing will be done until the first billionaire dies from it. (and even then, all that is likely to happen is that they drop out of public view for a while as they hide in their hermetically isolated bunkers.)

Sansnom3

Contact tracing already failed. Two dozen passengers departed without tracing 24 April for a dozen countries. www.pilotonline.com/2026/05/07/p...

There is No Planet Kepler 22-B Ⓥ2

Such a very big if. Not sure how much faith I have, at least in the US, of this being handled properly.

Wicky5

What’s Junior doing to stop the spread? Anything? Come on, Bobby—use all that expertise you have.

James Who Lives in Queens5

Why the hell does tRump have to always be the president for when these outbreaks of deadly disease occur?

Gayle Dourn Plantz4

40 percent mortality rate folks.

dinestars.bsky.social3

JFKJr……. any thoughts and prayers? You dismantled the agency needed . So far 3 deaths…..

lawrscott.bsky.social2

Why in the fuck are we letting them disembark and fly home. What about a quarantine period? ffs, did we learn nothing?

tastewart 🦋2

How? Didn’t Kennedy fire ALL those f the people at the CDC who monitored this sort of thing?? How long until a case hits our shores!!

Kathleen Lenihan5

What is really scary is that the ship with the hantavirus wasn’t one of the big mega cruise ships Dr. Smith was talking about. I don’t think it had even 200 people - crew and passengers combined.

A Kakistocracy of Snollygosters3

If you bought me a ticket for a top-tier cabin and offered me $10,000 cash to take one of those cruises I might hesitate for a few seconds, because I could use that money, but I'd still politely decline your generous offer.

GW4

Add a Singaporean in Isolation- symptomatic, one of 2, the other asymptomatic. I believe they may already be in Singapore.

Wildflower4

Flight attendants are so vulnerable to whatever shit people are infected with. I couldn't do that job. #Respect

kianopoly.bsky.social3

we really gonna do 2 of these, the one still going on and this one they are denying already as it starts

Liz (TheLongCovidNurse)2

Well we’ve been here before.

Sven. [Nazzarena 🤖 era]7

The hantavirus was promised to them 3000 years ago?

SobeChristopher5

People get hantavirus all the time. It’s not that rare.

Israel will kill it, don’t worry
