I can't find anything credible about an illness breaking out at Burning Man, but I did find this:

The virus spread from Burning Man 2023. The first outbreak was in San Francisco. By the time it reached San Jose it was already too late.

Check the airspace around Burning Man.

It's almost certainly people living in sewage related but it is looking like an "in an abundance of caution" situation.

I can't read lips, can anyone confirm whether she's saying "I wish it didn't burn so"

Follow a bunch of epidemiologists on Twitter, many of which have private accounts for obvious reasons, they aren't dismissing rumors that there is something going on. Also common sense tells you that you can't put thousands of people in sewage mud without serious risk of a bacterial/viral outbreak of unknown origin.

if you’re doing right by the old timers, burning man is and always has been a poo poo posting festival. everything about it is a big joke and it’s designed to be rather cruel and expensive for people who don’t get that. it’s really very goony at its core

the art and music and stuff is financed and installed independently by dummies who fell for it and take everything very seriously. people routinely bankrupt themselves with that stuff and the OGs will egg artists on for hours getting them complain about how difficult their self-inflicted experiences are

anyway, that’s it for my derail. burning man is probably not what you think dear goons. if anyone is interested i can put together a better post when i’m back from this stupid shitposting party

Literally the first sentence of that article says that's due to "continuing rains make driving off the Black Rock Desert near-impossible", nothing about a mystery disease outbreak like you've been claiming

Maybe because instead of having all those people in a controlled space to let things dry after an extra 3 days, letting everyone try to get out via air or land when it is raining and there is 6” of mud will lead to an untenable amount of rescue operations and stress on whatever agency has jurisdiction. Or maybe that agency is trying to coordinate a plan to enable safe travel

Or everyone has Ebola

To be safe we should drop a batch of ebola into the camp so we know for sure they're sick.

OK, I'm full of poo poo, it is unreasonable to jump to the conclusion that you can not force 10s of thousands of people to live in excrement filled mud for an unknown period of time without taking steps to assume a public health emergency when people inevitably get sick from living in hot mud full of human poo poo.

Has anyone considered that some tech bro had a mountain of Chinese research chemicals that the rain mixed with body paint, feathers, and rattlecan paint which inadvertently created a zombie virus?

Everyone, everyone, calm down. A bunch of rich people are suffering right now. Suffering for their own hubris. They've been pretending to be dirt poor hippies and now they're faced with a reality of mud and wealth becoming meaningless. They're suffering and torturing each other merely by existing.

Can't we all just enjoy this moment?
