I assume everyone has heard of the MV Hondius, an expedition cruise ship which travelled to remote areas, had (I would suppose wealthy) passengers infected with the Andes Virus from the Hantavirus family.

Most recent news posted by the independent, tracking the breaking story live, has shown that sources say there has been two infections in South Africa and one in France. World Health Organisation is ranking the situation as low risk for now.

Spanish health minister: 'All passengers on virus-hit ship are asymptomatic'

Ahead of the World Health Organization's 2pm news conference, we're hearing from the Spanish health minister now.

Monica Garcia says that everyone on the boat is asymptomatic and once ready, the ship will continue on to the Canary Islands.

Then, efforts will be made to repatriate all passengers - apart from anyone who shows signs of the illness.

She added that Spanish passengers will be evaluated and checked, and will go to a military hospital in Madrid - where they will be examined and kept in isolation.

We don't know yet. WHO says low risk.

Nothing burger. Calling it in.

AP is literally just the press union that all the parasitic news orgs get their stock footage and basic coverage from. So your MSN, FOX, NBC, CNN, OAN, etc etc etc just use AP coverage as the "raw material" to turn out their "takes". You go to the AP channel on youtube and there's a lot of historical archive footage with no loud anchor commentary over it and people who don't know any better are always in the comments like "did they forget to upload the audio?" not realizing what AP does

It's a complete nothingburger lol, hantanviruses aren't infectious enough through humans in order for it to be an epidemic.

This is how Gene Hackman's wife died fyi

4pol is losing their shit about this which is ironic considering the covid denial to this day

>>2804101
Reuters too

I'm soyfacing right now, the bourgeois untermensch want to lead the infected lumpen to kill the smart class conscious proles instead of exterminating the infected, I hate the untermenschen civilization

>>2804518
Iirc they were early panickers about COVID too but became denialists as political polarization set in.

>>2805016
Everyone infected deserves to die

>>2805016
lol this. i remember clearly all the schizos at my work were getting N95 masks, talking about how people were dropping dead like flies. then once the battle lines set a few months later the same schizos were laughing at people for masking up, saying it didn't exist etc…

>>2805033
Think another aspect of it is that they like being contrarians who "know" something that the sheeple don't. But when the sheeple wear masks then they get suspicious of the masks.

I masked up fairly early and remember seeing someone in the grocery store notice me and then say to his gf "oooh it's COVID" to try and tease her a bit. "Staaaahp." It did feel a bit weird wearing the mask at first when most people weren't. But at that point, the normies were skeptical and I even remember Kamala Harris being like I'm not taking the Trump vaxx. This was right when it was starting.

>>2805072
N95, KN95, and FFP2 mesh masks are bullshit, wear a hazmat suit like a real man, wear a full-facepiece respirators with CBRN

hantavirus doesn't spread from human contact, you get it from eating rat feces. stop being a speedsharing doomscrolling reactionary idiot.

>>2805691
>hantavirus doesn't spread from human contact
That's just completely untrue. From the WHO: "To date, human-to-human transmission has been documented only for Andes virus in the Americas and remains uncommon. When it occurs, transmission between people has been associated with close and prolonged contact, particularly among household members or intimate partners, and appears most likely during the early phase of illness, when the virus is more transmissible." – the Andes strain being the one on the ship.
As much as i agree this situation has been sensationalized and won't be some Covid 2-level global crisis as some people are claiming, dosent mean the whole thing is just false.

Hantavirus? More like Hentaivirus!

I don't trust any early medical takes about newborne viruses. There was a lot that was unknown about covid when it first showed up, people were learning on the fly. Same could be true of this. Or it could be a nothingburger. We won't know until it happens. Obviously they should be fucking quarantining and contact tracing all these people. Need to learn from covid. Better that a handful of people are inconvenienced than let millions die.

>>2806101
now THAT would be EIPC

Remember the first Boomer-Holodomor Trump committed, now picture that with RFK. We ain’t gonna make it
