[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband asked, in regard to the hantavirus, could rodents have come in after… and this is why hantavirus appears?

I guess medical examiners may have seen that before? In cases where there has been a delay in discovery? I don’t know, but they would.[/quote]

No. Good grief. Do some people not understand basic biology and medicine? Dead people don't contract viruses. Viruses need LIVE CELLS to replicate in humans. They hijack the machinery of the cell, again let me reiterate the [i]living[/i] cell, to replicate. She didn't have hantavirus "sprinkled" on her clothes by marauding rats or something. Medical examiners know what hantavirus pulmonary syndrome looks like. They know what lungs infected by HPS look like, which require the person to have been ALIVE and BREATHING for the virus to get into their lungs and replicate there and kill them. They wouldn't have said she died of it if they did not see the evidence in her lungs and tissues. [/quote]

Good grief right back.
You’ve answered my question.

I didn’t see the part about it being deep in her lungs. That was the only basic question—did rodents appear on the scene later and leave traces. It’s a fair question from someone who didn’t read every single piece.

Nowhere did I argue that like the person above ^^ that it is released upon decomposing. What?[/quote]
OMG. Two people explained thus to you. Corpses don’t contract viruses. Your question and response are ridiculous. Mice cannot “come in afterwards” and infect a dead body. She died from the HantaVIRUS. You clearly still don’t understand what a virus is despite having it spelled out for you. [/quote]
