MADRID, May 10 (Reuters) - British paratroopers have dropped onto Britain's most remote overseas territory, Tristan da Cunha, along with medics and medical supplies, after a case of suspected hantavirus was confirmed there.
A team of six paratroopers and two military clinicians from 16 Air Assault Brigade jumped from an RAF A400M transport aircraft that flew 6,788 km (4,218 miles) from RAF Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire to Ascension Island then another 3,000 km due south to Tristan da Cunha.

Can't help but wonder, if they've got to use parachutes to get in, how are they going to get out.
How low can media go? As low as Big Pharma tells them. Got to sell some more juice in arms.
Politicians are drooling at the chance to take total control again

A specialist team of army and medical personnel have been parachuted on to the British overseas territory Tristan da Cunha with medical aid and equipment after a British national showed symptoms of hantavirus.
The patient had been on board the cruise ship MV Hondius where an outbreak of the virus has killed three people, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed.
They are currently in hospital on the island where they live, the UK minister for the overseas territories, Stephen Doughty, said in a statement.
There’s no airport and limited sea access, so if time’s important, this makes the most sense.
No mention if it’s Andes...
My guess is that the paratroops are going in blind, they probably don’t know the situation on the island regarding females and beer, they will have to deal with whatever they find.
Much more here...
Though still no mention if it’s Andes..
I didn’t know Rotters had gone subscription based.
No big loss, I suppose.
Hantavirus known in US Southwest...
symptoms are flu. Like the WuhanFlu.
All BShitte. Here in Northern CaCaLand a neighbor or two comes down with HVirus every year. It is endemic to everywhere.
Starmer could not defend Cyprus with his crappola military so he parachutes into a flu outbreak.
Don’t give me crappola about Brit lives lost in Iraq/Aphgan as a US ally — this is Brit military today.
