A leading expert has warned that masks might need to return to stem the deadly outbreak of Hantavirus. The world is currently watching as the outbreak originating from a luxury cruise ship in the South Atlantic has claimed three lives and left several others fighting for survival.
Health officials have issued urgent “mask up” warnings for those in close contact with potential cases, as fears grow over the potential for human-to-human transmission of a strain typically found in South America, as a result.
The crisis began aboard the Dutch-flagged polar expedition vessel MV Hondius, which departed Argentina last month. What was meant to be a scenic voyage across the Atlantic turned into a floating quarantine zone after a Dutch passenger died on board on 11 April. The tragedy deepened when his wife also succumbed to the virus on April 26.
A third fatality, a German national, was reported as the ship reached the coast of Cape Verde. Images from the scene off Cape Verde show the scale of the emergency response. Medics in full-body personal protective equipment (PPE) were seen ferrying suspected patients from the blue-hulled MV Hondius via a red pilot boat, the Santa Catarina.
The evacuated individuals, including a 56-year-old British expedition guide, were transferred to ambulances waiting on the quayside before being flown to specialist isolation units in the Netherlands and South Africa.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is now investigating whether the Andes strain of the virus - the only variant known to potentially spread between people - is responsible. "Human-to-human transmission of hantavirus is extremely rare. However, cases have been linked to a specific species of the disease, called Andes virus, which circulates primarily in South America," explains Dr Michelle Barron, senior medical director for infection control and prevention at UCHealth.

Wear a mask. Told ya.
Watch them push another insane pandemic
Hantavirus outbreak live updates: 12 countries put on high alert for Hantavirus as passengers from ill-fated cruise return home

OGNTSA!
Coming soon to the USA, just in time for the mid term elections.
Absolutely not
People really shouldn’t eat feces. Especially from rodents. You would think you wouldn’t have to tell people this
It hasn’t “spread”...those individuals that were taken off the boat are being monitored. And probably pumped full of anti-virals. Hantavirus is not a new disease.
Oh so much crow is about to be eaten.
She was not in the cruise , she had casual contact with the person in her section for an hour before they kicked the person off the flight.
Crow is best served cold.
Argentina will start testing rats for hantavirus after couple contracted deadly strain — and cases shot up 86% in just a year
It’s already here.
California, Georgia, Virginia, Texas all have people who were on that boat and got off and fled weeks ago. The over under is 50/50 for them being infected it’s a six week incubation time at the long end.
Global air travel system will eventually be this species downfall it’s only when not if.
In 2024 Moderna and others were already developing the vaccines for this.
They are trying to recreate the same disaster they did with covid.
I don’t want their damn “poison vaxes.
as cases of the rare strain increased by a startling 86% in the country last year.
There most be bodies in the streets in Buenos Aires.
It’s small minds like yours that only see politics. Our species was never meant to have global access to every point every 24 hours. It was a fundamental limiting aspect for transmission of pathogens. The word quarantine literally means 40 days of isolation in Latin. That was how long a ship with sick people on it had to wait to port. Having air travel that lets people mix from every continent daily and then spread back across the planet is going to end this species eventually. It’s when not if. See past your small mind there is larger issues at hand. It only takes one nasty bug to do a black death level event but with air planes not sailing ships.
I’m safe. 3,000 rolls of TP already on hand.
Gonna have to fully have mail-in ballots for the mid-terms, dontchaknow
Unfortunately, DJT's war on Iran has made it a lot easier for the sociopaths to take full control in 2028.
Something for his cheerleaders here to consider. Just sayin'...
Savage, why no bidet, if you sh1t on your hands would you use a paper towel and wipe if off then call it good..
Thank God I spend a good amount of my childhood in Europe. where they are not Fing savages. Every home I have built has heated bidets in every bathroom. How is this not building code it should be. Gross a$$ mofos
So how many cases so far due to this?
