    They let 23 people leave the ship and then said they’d let the rest debark on the canaries… (Though that was thankfully stopped) This is not looking good.
    It has a long incubation period too and one of the infected was a flight attendant, so she probably went on even more flights after.

          Will be a huge tell imo. Narrative now is it spreads from close contact. If FA picked it up that blows the theory wide open

      I was being kind of jokey but I am actually pretty terrified. I don’t think I could handle a second COVID with millions dying again

        If this were to become a pandemic (which would require the disease to be very infectious, which nerds say it isnt, but then again those nerds do say a lot of stuff) then you still wouldn’t have to worry about it being another COVID. The mortality rate is much higher so-far
        On the other hand I don’t think it has the same issues as long-covid so

        It’s not COVID. It’s less contagious by far. It requires closer contact for longer and has a shorter infectivity period. The media is just blowing up about it because the media is blowing up about it. We’ve had a billion headlines in a week and there’s like, eight infections total.

        It’s like how the media couldn’t shut up about train derailments after Palestine USA, because people clicked more on derailment stories, despite derailments being mostly mundane.

          Pretty sure its because they blew up the train more than just derailment.

      When did this happen? Last I saw, I think yesterday, this was the plan. Although I don’t have a good source. Was just waiting for it to happen before making a post

        I might be misunderstanding the situation, but it seems like the regional government has blocked it

          At a later news conference, however, Spain’s health minister Monica Garcia Gomez doubled down on the plan, saying the ship would dock in Tenerife, “within three days.”

          I guess we will have to see if Spain or local gov has its way in the end

            Why are they so desperate to dock it?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
