  • U.S. Firing on All Cylinders—Inflation Too

    From economics.bmo.com

    The economy has largely shaken off the doom and gloom of rapidly rising gasoline prices, at least for now. The steady stream of better-than-expected economic reports continued in earnest this week, topped off by solid core retail sales growth of 0.5% for April and a sizeable pick-up in manufacturing growth of 0.6%. Capturing that resilience in one measure is the Bloomberg Economic Surprise Index that firmed to a positive 41 this week, as economic forecasters have largely underestimated the extent of the growth momentum in recent weeks (Chart 1).

AI Overview
There is currently no specific cure, vaccine, or FDA-approved antiviral treatment for hantavirus. However, the disease is survivable if medical intervention begins early.

Current Treatment Approach
Because there is no medication to kill the virus directly, doctors focus on supportive care to help your body survive the infection:

Intensive Care (ICU): Most patients require hospitalization in an intensive care setting for close monitoring.
Respiratory Support: Patients often need supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation (a breathing machine) due to fluid buildup in the lungs.
ECMO: In severe cases, doctors may use extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a machine that pumps and oxygenates your blood outside the body to rest your heart and lungs.
Fluid Management: Careful administration of IV fluids and medications to maintain blood pressure.

Experimental and Potential Treatments
While not standard or universally proven, some options are used in specific contexts:
Ribavirin: This antiviral is sometimes used "off-label" for certain strains, though its effectiveness for the North American "Sin Nombre" strain is not well-established.
Research in Progress: Scientists are currently developing monoclonal antibodies and DNA vaccines, though many are still in early testing or animal study phases.

If you believe you have been exposed to rodents and are experiencing symptoms like fever, muscle aches, or shortness of breath, seek emergency medical care immediately at a local hospital

Yes, gasoline prices suck, but the overall condition of the economy is pretty good.
