It's a known virus, so seems like a nothingburger to me (except a handful of people dying, that's of course horrible).

Covid was a SARS virus tho?? literally SARS-CoV-2

It wasn't the Spanish Flu even at its worst (roughly a third the mortality rate with a much faster and farther reach absent any properly quarantining).

Much like with the AIDS epidemic or the Ebola outbreak, Hauntavirus has a slower rate of spread and avoidable vector for transmission, but a significantly higher mortality rate.

It's scary for different reasons.

Facebook has old racism, Instagram has new racism

Intravenous bleach when?

Mine aren't saying anything about it at all.

Every time somebody complains about YouTube it's always because they don't actually have any subscriptions and they're just looking at the front page.

The front page of YouTube is indeed rubbish, no one should be looking at that.

afaik, some people got off the cruise before they realised there was an outbreak - and it's those who are currently the issue

Joking, or don't understand cruise ships?

What YouTube videos are you watching?

Tried to screenshot the insane shit YouTube showed me on the default feed, but I'm getting a "You can't take screenshots of YouTube" warning through my phone.

Viruses usually survive quite fine when frozen. Viruses aren't really alive so in order to "kill" them you're looking for something that will destroy their DNA.

You want something like high heat, UV, or bleach. Also just stuff like wearing face coverings and gloves should be enough, after all I am assuming you're not planning to eat them.
