[quote]At least two people are dead as a result of a deadly mouse-borne virus spotted at Yosemite National Park in California and feared to have spread across the world. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a health alert after a lung disease caused by the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome killed two American males and sickened four others. Health officials believe that an outbreak spread by mice at Yosemite Park outside of San Francisco is the culprit and that as many as 10,000 people around the world are thought be at risk of developing symptoms, which include headache, fever, muscle aches, shortness of breath and coughing, as well as, in some cases, death. "I want people to know about this so they take it seriously," Dr. David Wong tells Reuters. "We're doing our due diligence to share the information." First discovered in 1993, the virus kills around one-third of those infected, taking the lives of nearly 600 Americans in less than two decades. Officials at the park have been taking extra precautions since an infestation of deer mice apt to carry the virus was found in one of Yosemite’s “Signature” tent-style cabins, of which the park has more than 90. Since last week, all of those cabins have been closed to visitors. In the latest outbreak, the virus is thought to have infected visitors of the park who stayed at Yosemite between June and August of this year, which includes as many as 2,500 persons who reside outside of America. In response, the US Department of Health and Human Services has notified 39 countries, most in the European Union, that their residents may have been exposed. "If you stayed in the Signature Tent Cabins in Yosemite National Park, USA, since June 2012 & have #Hantavirus symptoms, see a doctor,” The World Health Organization tweeted on Wednesday. Yosemite gets around 4 million visitors each year and is now reaching out to travelers that they believe have stayed in their Signature cabins this year. Since its discovery in 1993, Yosemite has identified two cases of hantavirus in travelers staying at the park.[/quote] Suspicious.

Most likely scaremongering just to make headlines.
I guess we'll just take your word for it then. maybe there's no source because all the news network employees have already been killed by the virus,in which case we're all fucked
this is how the world ends
FOUND THE SOURCE rt.com/usa/news/us-yosemite-virus-mouse-545/
So the states admit that the stupid virus is spreading? Edited: Oh, Hantavirus. Yeah, I have been warned about that shit since I was a toddler. It isn't anything new.
And so the end of days begin. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuotFZnBtk[/media] Good knowing you fellas.

Oh. It's that time of the year again
Hantavirus is nothing new. I remember when I was backpacking in 05' we had to use tarps to prevent the hantavirus from coming up through the ground or something. All I know is that unless you're rolling around in the dirt or like to pick up wild rodents you should be fine.
[quote] which include headache, fever, muscle aches, shortness of breath and coughing, as well as, in some cases, death.[/quote] Shit I must have this and not a cold!! If it's spread by mice then surely people should just keep an eye out for mice and maybe tidy up a bit.
Welp. I guess that's that then.
Late? This has been in the news for weeks.
[QUOTE=Zambies!;37591197]FOUND THE SOURCE rt.com/usa/news/us-yosemite-virus-mouse-545/[/QUOTE] [quote=RT]Tragic news for the United States today. A virus, believed to be created by the Obama government for the purposes of warfare, has gone out of control and is killing off the vast numbers of US citizens. One scientist says that this may be "The end of the western world"[/quote] Putin has yet to comment on this. [B]EDIT:[/B] Wow, I thought you were joking about that being an actual source.
Yeah, this is just an isolated incident. Nothing to worry about people.
RT telling it like it is i personally had no idea i was dying and that the western world was ending until RT informed me otherwise, thanks RT!
If I remember rightly, this can't be spread from from one person to another? Which means it can never be an epidemic.
Good thing I don't live there.
[QUOTE=JerryK;37591337]RT telling it like it is i personally had no idea i was dying and that the western world was ending until RT informed me otherwise, thanks RT![/QUOTE] The article doesn't say anything about 'end of the western world'
this is true, i am in california and i am dead
so this is why people were screaming and yelling and firing guns at each other end of the owrld rpip
Dark RaveN confirmed for pathology degree gg world
[QUOTE=Super Muffin;37591139]Generally you post a source here.[/QUOTE] It's a legitimate thing, but the OP has a bullshit sensationalist title. Facepunchers never read articles, it's only a concern for people who stayed recently at Yosemite.
39 minutes and no Madagascar joke? What is this?
Its not a flu! [sp]Left4Dead[/sp]
eventually with all these scaremongering headlines, no ones gonna believe them when there actually is a really bad epidemic.
OP is right me and my entire family are already dead. abandon all hope everyone
