Will Hantavirus Cause Another Pandemic and/or Lockdown?

Looking at these cards, I honestly don’t think that they point to another massive worldwide pandemic or an immediate repeat of the kind of lockdowns we saw before. What they do show us here very strongly is fear, tension, information overload, distrust, and us, the people, just trying to figure out what’s real after living through years where the ground already felt shaky under our feet. Once folks have sat through one hard storm, every dark cloud after it starts looking like it might turn into a tornado. That kind of collective anxiety hangs around for a long time, and these cards carry a lot of that energy!

The 7 of Pentacles reversed feels like exhaustion around so much uncertainty itself. It looks like all of us just staring at the horizon waiting for the next bad thing to happen because we don’t trust that peace is going to stay peaceful anymore. There’s impatience here, but what causes that impatience is fear. It feels tied to distrust in systems, frustration with preparedness, and that worn-out feeling of wondering whether anybody TRULY has things under control anymore. This card reminds me of somebody digging up seeds before they’ve had time to grow because…they’re too nervous to trust what’s happening underground. Everybody wants answers right now, and the 7 of Pentacles reversed reminds us that the waiting alone is enough to wear people thin.

Then the 7 of Cups reversed starts clearing some of that smoke out of the room. This card feels like the difference between panic and reality slowlyyy separating from one another. During times that are so uncertain, we start drowning in headlines, rumors, social media fear, conspiracy theories, worst-case scenarios, and everybody’s cousin suddenly becoming an expert online. This card tells us that eventually the fog will start to lift enough for us to sort through what’s real and what’s exaggerated BS. It doesn’t feel like uncontrollable madness taking over the world. It feels more like we’re trying to get our footing again and learning not to believe every shadow moving through the trees at night.

The High Priestess sitting in the center of this spread matters a great deal because she’s really quiet, careful energy. She’s not destruction. Not at all… She’s observation. She points to information still developing, research still happening, facts that aren’t 100% visible yet, and situations being watched closely behind the scenes. This card tells us there will continue to be conversations, studies, concern, and monitoring around hantavirus or illnesses like it, BUT the energy here is much more cautious and investigative than something catastrophic. The High Priestess is the old woman on the porch who sees more than she says. She watches before she says a word. She doesn’t run through town ringing alarm bells unless there is REALLY a fire coming.

The 2 of Swords reversed does show that difficult decisions and uncomfortable conversations will likely become unavoidable eventually. This card feels tied to division, public arguments, and all of us struggling over who or what to trust anymore. It carries that same tension we already know far too well from recent years where everybody felt kind of split down the middle about safety, truth, authority, and personal freedom. The energy here says avoidance eventually will run out. People might feel pressured to choose sides or give a response to fears they’d rather just ignore. Still, this card doesn’t feel like forced global shutdown energy to me. It feels more like social tension and emotional strain than a complete societal collapse.

Then the Page of Swords closes this reading with a restless, watchful kind of energy. Lord, this card feels like refreshing the news feed at 2 in the morning while your stomach sinks lower with every headline! The Page of Swords watches everything. This Page gathers information constantly, but can also feed anxiety by never stepping away from the noise long enough to breathe. This card points to nonstop media coverage, internet speculation, public fear cycles, and people becoming consumed mentally by trying to predict what happens next. In many ways, the conversation itself could become louder and scarier than the actual situation.

Y’all, this spread feels more psychologically heavy rather than physically catastrophic. It shows fear, uncertainty, hypervigilance, hidden/secret/scientific information that we don’t know right now, and emotional exhaustion far more than it shows worldwide collapse. There are no cards here that honestly scream devastation on the level that we might be afraid of. No Tower card crashing through the middle….No complete ruin. What these cards really seem to warn us about is letting fear and constant information pull us so far out of ourselves that we forget how to live our everyday lives.

Sometimes fear spreads faster than illness ever could. That’s the part these cards keep circling back to for me.

I lived in a house for 20 years chock full of deer mice, only main reservoir for Hantavirus. Never got sick luckily and how I learned about it.

Unrelated but there’s also pet influencers kissing and petting wild deer mice. Ecelebs are speed running another pandemic before the cruise ship lol

How a deadly hantavirus outbreak unfolded on a cruise ship for weeks before it was identified

A deadly outbreak of the rare hantavirus unfolded over the course of weeks on a cruise ship that sailed from Argentina toward Antarctica and

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — A deadly outbreak of the rare hantavirus unfolded over the course of weeks on a cruise ship that sailed from Argentina toward Antarctica and then across the Atlantic Ocean, stopping at or near remote islands on the way as passengers and crew members fell sick, according to information from the cruise operator, the World Health Organization and ship tracking data.It shows nearly a month passed between when an elderly Dutch man fell sick and died in the South Atlantic and laboratory tests in South Africa — more than 3,500 kilometers (2,174 miles) away — confirmed hantavirus infections. Three passengers in total have died, one is in intensive care in a South African hospital, and three other people still on the cruise ship have shown symptoms and were waiting for evacuations. Nearly 150 passengers and crew members from 23 countries were on the ship, which is waiting off the coast of West Africa. Hantavirus is spread by rodents. People can get it through contact with infected rodents’ saliva, urine or droppings. It doesn’t usually spread from person to person, but some health authorities say such transmission could be possible.

What the plan is for the people still on board Oceanwide Expeditions said Tuesday that aircraft were flying to Cape Verde to evacuate two people needing urgent medical care and one passenger who was traveling with the German woman who died Saturday. They were to be taken to the Netherlands, but a timeline for arrival wasn’t clear. The ship then would sail to Spain’s Canary Islands, a voyage of about three days, the company said. Spanish officials had said they were monitoring and hadn’t confirmed any plans as of Tuesday evening. Passengers and crew have been isolated in cabins with “maximal physical distancing,” WHO said, in a lockdown reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The source of the infections WHO says it is still investigating how a virus that is relatively rare in people got on board the ship. It said the Dutch man and his wife — who it called cases one and two — had traveled in Argentina and elsewhere in South America before they boarded. WHO says Andes virus, a specific species of hantavirus, is found in South America, primarily in Argentina and Chile.

I am really hoping this does not turn into something larger. As far as I can remember from my infectious disease class, Hantavirus only has one strain that spreads from human to human. Most of the time its mouse to human transmission in a phenomenon called zoonosis (animal diseases going to humans and vice versa).

Hantavirus is one of those that scare me since it has a mortality rate of 1%-15% in Asia and Europe, and up to a 50% mortality rate in the Americas. For context of how dire this is, the fatality rate of COVID was around 1% as of 2023.

WHY ON FUCKING EARTH WOULD YOU LET THEM DOCK.

A VIRUS WHICH THERE IS NO CURE FOR. IT WAS ISOLATED. CONTROLLED.

AND YOU JUZT LET THEM DOCK. WHERE IT WILL SPREAD.

IT’S. AIRBORNE.

DEADLY.

WHY WOULD YOU LET THEM FUCKING DOCK.
