If you could only own one vehicle for the rest of your life, wouldn’t you want to avoid accidents?
Covid infections are like car accidents, you might not die but they could still mess up your vehicle. If you couldn’t buy a new vehicle or even get it fixed, wouldn’t you want to avoid accidents?
I live in thr upper Midwest, and as you can see from this photo, there are droppings on the floor of my garage.
Four hours ago, I was inspecting my garage. And I touched the 2x4 you see down there.
I don't think I touched any droppings but I cannot be sure.
My fingers came away with some grey dust which I rinsed off.
It wasnt until 30 minutes later that I realized I hadn't properly washed my hands (stupid I know). And in that time I was touching my face, and my phone, etc.
I struggle with intense anxiety and I am extremely worried right now.
I would appreciate anyone's thoughts. Im trying not to panic.
"omg guys i cleaned a dusty room, omg im so scared i think i might have come into contact with hantavirus!!!"
No you don't have hantavirus. You have not come into contact with it. It's an insanely rare disease with an insanely hard transmission method and window. You do not have hantavirus.
I remember seeing a lot of posts saying that this was the next Covid, going to be millions of deaths and a huge pandemic, we’re done for kind of thing. Probably worth reflecting on the fact that didn’t happen and try not to fear monger based on little to zero scientific evidence in future.
I went into an attic in northern Wi for 5 minutes to grab a box for my sister. I tried to hold my breath but had to breathe through my shirt a few times. There wasn’t tons of mouse poop but I accidentally knocked over a box and had to pick up some clothes and I noticed some small mouse nests. I got out of there very quickly after that.
Also, this attic has been opened a few times this summer as it’s used often. My sister was in the attic a couple months ago and breathing the air and moving stuff around and never got sick. Also the attic is sitting at like 90 degrees if that matters.
I know it’s rare to get but if someone could give me a few words of encouragement or a reality check that would be great, I’m really kicking myself for going up there but it was for something extremely important.
