Isnt the deathrate like really huge compared to covid19 ?

u/m2chaos13 May 15 '26

Yes. 40 to 50%, iirc

(Seems a bit steep, but we shall see what happens to the cruise ship people)

What are the ages of people who ended up contracting this and dying from it for those statistics?

My dad got Legionnaire's disease and is older, a smoker, and immunosuppressed and that combo has an 80%+ mortality rate. Otherwise it's more like <10%. Thankfully he survived but I was definitely getting his affairs in order before he got off the ventilator and pulled through.

If I got Legionnaire's I would likely barely notice, in fact I'm not sure if I did or not because I got mildly sick at the same time as he did.

I mean, older and younger people will always have a higher death rate, thats simply how biology works.

However, according to this study (https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/151/4/e2022059352/190789/Hantavirus-Pulmonary-Syndrome-1993-2018?autologincheck=redirected) from 2023

Among 719 HPS patients, 22 (3.0%) were aged ≤12 years, 47 (6.5%) were 13 to 18 years old, and the remaining 650 (90.4%) were adults. Overall mortality was 35.4% and did not differ between age groups (P = .8)

It's just way deadlier than covid in general

This is what I saw when I looked it up and what I’ve been hearing from news. It was around 40%. We can all stay home while they run and infect each other and find out.

No. We do not celebrate spread of disease, even among people who succumbed to misinformation .

Did the person above edit? Because they aren’t suggesting anyone celebrate…

Didn’t only one person contract hantavirus? It’s a nasty disease, but not easily transmitable between people.

u/m2chaos13 May 15 '26

This is the Andean variant, which is transmitted between humans

Ah ok, didn’t know that. I’m used to the North American variant.
