Woman gets hantavirus, told by doctors it's probably anxiety

@skinnylatte We're really ready for another pandemic. Every five years or so we all just need a reset. Right? I'm looking forward to it.
The current pandemic has not fixed this. In fact, Long Covid is a good example of how illnesses which mostly affect women are not taken seriously (eg, get less research funding)
"Systematic Underfunding of Long Covid, ME/CFS, and Other Debilitating Diseases That Disproportionately Affect Women"
Solve Science Spotlight: Systematic Underfunding of Long Covid, ME/CFS, and Other Debilitating Diseases That Disproportionately Affect Women - Solve ME/CFS Initiative
Dr. Karen Bonuck's research team found that six of the ten most underfunded conditions were those affecting women more than men, including ME/CFS and Long Covid.
Solve ME/CFS Initiative (solvecfs.org)
"… the NIH must do a better job at funding severely debilitating diseases that disproportionately affect women more than men, like Long Covid and ME/CFS"

@skinnylatte what a fucking shitshow. Everyone onboard should have been isolated in quarantine for 6 weeks in one place. JFC. My partner has been told that valid concerns about things were “anxiety”. She is an incredibly intelligent woman & she’s been treated like a mental patient over legit things. I bring it up & I’m taken seriously. When this happens, I’m sure to point out the double standard. Even women doctors are guilty of this!!!

@skinnylatte That's the kind of public-health vigilance that lets us all sleep at night.

@skinnylatte ah yes of course. I hope she wasn't also overweight, cause that's when they just send you home without even listening to you

"We could run tests... But it's Friday and as you can see it's gettin' kinda late... So... We're gonna go with anxiety," looks at spouse, "She's got anxiety, right? Sure she does. M'kay. That's it. Go home and relax. It's not like you're dying."

@prism @skinnylatte they won't let that happen, they will let us all go unhoused and dead before shutting down again. Back to the office BABY also genunily not ready for millions dead. I worry about my mom. I'm getting kicked out in august and I just want a job

@skinnylatte I keep getting extremely baffled by the complete unwillingness of doctors to do the most simple and basic thing of taking a patient seriously.

@skinnylatte According to the article, Javier Padilla Bernálde is the name we should be constantly shaming. A fuckup like this, I'm not sure if I'd hire the cumstain to scrub toilets. Unfortunately, until all the pricks like this in power die, this is likely the best recourse we have.

@skinnylatte That's just awfully stupid, wtf...
Also why the crap are we sending these people all across the globe instead of having them quarantine for a bit ashore in a controlled environment?

A couple of years ago that would have been a really heartbreaking/funny post from The Vertlantic -
Oh so theyve progressed from histeria to anxiety?

I don't know exactly how long ago they transitioned, but it was before my childhood and I'm 43. -

@skinnylatte I feel like it should be pretty easy to get a formal anxiety diagnosis in general, right?
RIGHT?!?

"She's hysterical." - Initial diagnosis from every male doctor for everything involving a woman.
Of course, having their docs calling anything they can 'anxiety' absolves the cruise line of culpability.
