Rare human-to-human transmission of the hantavirus may have happened aboard a cruise ship of nearly 150 passengers, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday, after three passengers died and at least four others were left sickened.

But by all means let the world cross our borders, unvetted, eh, dems?
Maybe the COVID vax exacerbates hanta infection.
Unlike COVID, this virus is really nasty. It kills about 40% of the people it infects.
I wonder how long that little cruise ship can stay at sea? It has to refuel and resupply. At some point, somebody’s gonna have to let it dock, or just let everyone on board starve.
Well, it may not have to be called “rare” any longer!
Unlike COVID, this virus is really nasty. It kills about 40% of the people it infects.
At some point the people aboard are going to have to be disembarked. It would be hugely inhumane to let them drop off one by one. From what I’ve read the quarantine is something like 8 weeks, so a decent-size place will have to be prepared for their isolation.
They can refuel at sea. Supplies can be transferred at sea as well.
How long before it comes here and they say “30 days to slow the spread” ya know the Dems would LOVE that, to get the country shut down again guaranteeing their victory. But this time Trump wont fall for the same BS
It is already here. Just in a slightly different version.
It will hit MN first is my bet. The Democrats need to scare the mid west.
There already is 23 people who got off and flew all over the world. Two of them are sick one in Zurich the other is in Australia. More than three came to North America.
[”There are 23 people wandering around there, and until three days ago, no one had contacted them,” the passenger told Spanish newspaper El Pais.]
[“The Australian went back to Australia, the one from Taiwan to Taiwan, the Americans to all corners of North America. The Englishman to England, the Dutch to their homes… I don’t remember the rest.”
One of those passengers, a Swiss man who had returned home with his wife, tested positive for hantavirus on Wednesday, authorities said.]
So we have whole airliners full of people who need to be contact traced, and we have people walking around genpop who will or are going to be shedding virons as they cross the incubation window into active active infections.
The WHO better get a handle on this fast. Hemorrhagic fever virus are no joke they are 40-50 case fatality rate and no they don’t weaken over time like influenza or covid did. Ebola is a HFV and it never weakens as it propagates down it’s infection chain.
Check the hull “basement” rooms of the ship for a secret Chinese bio lab.
Yeah its not something new, and from what I understand the “Person to person” version in Argentina is not something new either yet many people visit Argentina every year and people from Argentina visit America and all over the world
The American passengers, which states did they return to?
HIPAA would keep that info out of the public realm. CDC should be contract tracing them down and every one on the flights back with them and also any co workers, spouses , GF, and close contacts.
Andes Strain is similar to Ebola in it’s transmission metrics. P2P once symptomatic is based on viral loading and how much fluids are exchanged. Droplets is not going to be enough but a cough directly on some one or ones hands and then transfer to another via a handshake or from a recently wetted surface with a mucous membrane subsequent contact yeah that’s enough. 50 virons is enough for most hemorrhagic fever virus to ensure seroconversion before the acute phase begins. That is the window to test people and isolate them before they start shedding viral loads.
One of the units I commanded at the platoon level was an NBC unit we had the Fox vehicles and Darth Vader suits. It was my first unit after going green to gold as a Mustang. Bugs are kinda my jams.
That has never been proven.
What has been shown is that flu cases were reclassified as COVID-1984 in order to support the lies of pharmaceutical korporations and their government cohorts.
“Andes Strain is similar to Ebola in it’s transmission metrics.”
No, not correct.
ANDV has a R0 ~.90 to 1.2, with exceptions including the 2018–2019 outbreak in Argentina of R0 ~2.1.
For EVD, a study in 2023 found pooled mean R0 was ~1.95, and the range was 1.2 to 10.0 depending of outbreak area, etc. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S147789392300145X
Both nasty and have high CFRs. But EBV outbreaks have significantly higher R0.
Some of the people on the ship went on a bird watching expedition in Argentina and caught Hanta, but the Andes version which is known to transmit from person to person. And then it spread on the ship.
I’m aware of the ‘disappearance’ of the flu during the Covid times. But I was citing what happened in Italy during the first outbreak, before the pharmaceutical companies were pushing what they called ‘vaccines’. Italian doctors were, no doubt, familiar with influenza and they weren’t calling what was killing people the flu. (Although I concede that they may well have been mistaken).
I always found the initial reaction of most world leaders, including President Trump, to the outbreak to be revealing. To my knowledge, none, including President Trump, have shared what they were told by their science advisors when the outbreak first occurred. Nearly all reacted by shutting down their economies.
I believe that Sweden was one notable exception.
