  • HPS is a severe and potentially deadly disease that affects the lungs. Symptoms of HPS usually start to show 1 to 8 weeks after contact with an infected rodent.

    Early symptoms can include:

    fatigue fever muscle aches, especially in the large muscle groups like the thighs, hips, back, and sometimes shoulders About half of all HPS patients also experience:

    headaches dizziness chills abdominal problems, like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain Four to 10 days after the initial phase of illness, the late symptoms of HPS appear. These symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath. Patients might experience tightness in the chest, as the lungs fill with fluid.

    HPS can be deadly. Thirty-eight percent of people who develop respiratory symptoms may die from the disease.

    Hantavirus can be spread once mild symptoms appear, which unfortunately are so mild that most people wouldn’t even think about it being hantavirus. And it can take up to 8 weeks for symptoms to start to appear.

    Edit: In addition, the fact that a flight attendant managed to catch it does speak towards it being more contagious than previously thought.

    Humans are pretty bad at communication and there are a bunch of different ways a joke like that could have landed and it’s all dependent on the people involved.

    One person’s joke to gently point out that their kid is probably grabbing too much stuff can easily be another person’s brusque and dismissive comment about their kid being lazy.

    I’m sorry that your feelings were hurt by your mom.





  • when I was a kid. I was helping bring in the groceries and was carrying as much as I could (which was a lot, but obviously not more than I could handle)

    Y’know that children are notoriously bad at judging things like that, right? Obviously I don’t know the guy, but I would have easily said this as a joke at how many things my kid was trying to carry at once even though that ups the odds of dropping and breaking things.


  • Reasonable people can disagree with or be put off by things Piker has said or positions he’s taken. In fact, it would be surprising if they weren’t: Piker, like Rogan, is first and foremost an entertainer whose willingness to be outrageous is a key part of his persona. There are certainly plenty of things that Piker’s said in the tens of thousands of hours of public airtime he’s logged over the past six years that I would not cosign.

    But that’s plainly not the reason for this tedious uproar. We know it isn’t, because of the scores of commentators and political figures who remain in the good graces of the Democratic establishment despite saying things that are not identical to but often far, far worse than anything Piker’s said — let alone actually doing things that have caused untold death and misery to millions. We also know it isn’t because centrist Democrats who tut-tut at Piker, like Elissa Slotkin, still eagerly get in line to yuk it up with Bill Maher — who, just like Piker, once made an offensive statement about September 11 that he later apologized for (besides his virulent, open racism toward Arabs and Muslims).

    No, this is about a sick political establishment that constantly bemoans political violence but is so deeply suffused with the most extreme forms of it that openly calling for and defending mass murder via the US or Israeli military doesn’t even raise an eyebrow. And it’s about the ongoing factional war within the Democratic Party, which is seeing its discredited and widely hated corporate establishment once more play the move it always goes back to when it feels its control wavering: cancel culture and language policing.

    They’d much rather cry about Piker than actually look inward at why they continue to lose elections. It would be comical if it wasn’t so blatant and frustrating.
