Lots of rodents outside the home in such a rural setting. She could have been exposed while walking the dogs, taking out the trash, etc. Incubation could have been as much as 2 months before symptoms became evident.
Just saying her piano may not have been the source of infection.
I think the investigation has been conducted remarkably well. The conclusion that Mrs. Hackman succumbed to Hantavirus and that Mr. Hackman was incapacitated by dementia and died after she did makes sense and is supported by forensic evidence.
Right and like I said unless she was actually inside her piano and cleaning it or repairing it which is highly doubtful it probably wasn’t the source. Piano tuners are susceptible to the virus because our hands are inside the instruments. With Gene having Alzheimer’s he may not have even realized they had an infestation in the house. Really sad ending to a couple who seemed to be very nice folks.

Because of the campaign to eliminate DEI from government documents, photos, etc., a photo of the B-29 Enola Gay is being removed because of the word "Gay" painted on it! "Enola Gay" had nothing to do with any kind of orientation., It was the name of Col. Paul Tibbets' mother, Enola Gay Tibbets, who encouraged her son to ignore his father's not wanting his son to take up flying. How stupid can they get?
(And the 509th is still flying...B-2 bombers.)
If they’re eliminating DEI why would they get rid of The Enola Gay? I’m confused.
I would think they would be adding it back!

Mice are odd, but a piano, other than a refuge in an infestation, just doesn't seem a likely home. Particularly if played for practice by an expert - can you say hammer down?
A piano is a great place for mice, I’ve found mice droppings and some nests and dead mice in pianos in 38 years of tuning and repairing pianos! They use the felt and make nests in the corners of the piano. One time I found 2 little mice skeletons in a felt nest. I guess mom never made it back.
True if a piano is played daily there’s less of a chance but unless it’s played 24 hours a day, they’ll get in.-

Yes and a musician at her level Likely tunes her own
I highly doubt she tunes her own piano. The best pianists in the world don’t tune their own pianos!

She was a pianist. Likely inhaled hanta from an instrument
Unlikely she inhaled it from a closed piano. If she opened it up maybe and her hands were exposed to mouse urine or poop then touched her mouth or eyes. I’m a piano tuner mice are inside the piano.

If you have a house you probably had a mouse at one time or another!

I don’t think that list is correct. I know the DEI programs were canceled and some of those words are directly from DEI but not all.

About ten years or so back, before the Zombie Apocalypse, when the media was looking for some kind of pandemic to scare us all, (bird flu, swine flu, ebola, etc), there was a Hanta outbreak in Northern Arizona, mostly on the Indian Reservations, that THEY were trying to convince us was going to kill us all. It didn't.
Thats because it’s not contagious from human to human. Just heard a doctor on Fox say that.

Piano tuners were known to get this from mice infested pianos years ago.

For several years, I drove semis part time for various companies that I worked for. I learned and used the headlight flash system developed by truckers many years ago! I still remember a few of the actual signals!
Around here, there are “ENFORCEMENT” groups that ostensibly work to interdict drug trafficking. What they actually do is semi-legally rob unsuspecting travelers. They’ve stopped totally law abiding citizens without cause and impounded their vehicles, seized their cash and property, and jailed them without charges, forcing their victims to spend enormous sums to clear themselves and TRY to recover their money and property!
I have absolutely no sympathy or empathy for them and some of them have been exposed as nefarious operators who are violating honest citizens’ rights and the law!!
These malefactors have been depicted on national television and pointed out in other media, interviewed and in more than one case, exposed for what they are and taken down by legitimate authorities.
I don’t differentiate between these and other law enforcement when traveling the highways and backroads. I’ll let oncoming traffic know that they are there!
Never thought of that , good point!

I can't say I wouldn't watch it if it was on tv, but I wouldn't pay to watch it on Pay Per View.
I would if some of the money went to his victims family!

This murderer will be executed at 18:00 hours or 6:00 PM EST today. 23 years and 11 months after brutally murdering his girlfriend’s parents. He is now 67. He openly confessed in court to the killings. He should have been dead within 24 hours after his admission. He’s had a long enough life at the taxpayer’s expense.
I know this may sound morbid but I wish it was on TV!😀

I haven't done the flashing lights warning in years but I did it the other day cause I was just in the mood to feel sorry for everyone. Tickets can be expensive and if I saved some single mom or person living paycheck to paycheck a ticket then it was worth it.
The last ticket I got was a camera ticket 60 in a 45 going down a steep hill! There was no one around me. Cost me $150.00!!!

Mistakes will be made and accidents will occur with every inventions. He's had more success than failure I do believe.

A pocket knife. Not as romantic as a belt knife, but cowboys weren't making much money.
Very few cowboys wore the knives that many shooters wear. Yea they’re cool looking but I think the majority of them had a pocket knife.

OK, maybe I had heard of, but forgotten about along with the other "197 Things Flashing Headlights Mean."
The only things I use Flashing Headlights for are letting a trucker know he's clear to change lanes, or to tell an oncoming vehicle his brights are on.
A lot of it has to do with the road you’re on and flashing your lights at oncoming traffic. Some people don’t get it but some will.
I also use a flashing light to truckers but they’re going in the same direction I am, so that’s totally different.

Never did it. Never even heard of it. Someone oncoming flashes their lights? If it's daytime, I check to see if my lights are on. At night I check if my brights are on.
Never heard of it ? Joe you’ve led a sheltered life!😂😜
