Title: hantavirus alert
Post by tallowood on May 11th, 2026 at 10:41am

Quote:
Cases of hantavirus, the term for a group of viruses carried by infected rodents that can pose a severe disease risk in humans, emerged on luxury cruise ship MV Hondius last month.
The vessel had been marooned in quarantine off the coast of Cape Verde in West Africa since Sunday



Quote:
Australians on board a luxury cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak will have to wait on the vessel, despite other passengers departing, as they await a flight home.
The four Australian citizens, one permanent resident and a New Zealand national are expected to leave the Canary Islands, where passengers have finally begun to disembark, later today and touch down in Perth on Tuesday.
A federal government spokesperson said Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade consular officers in Tenerife and Canberra had been closely coordinating the response while the Commonwealth and states are working through health and transport arrangements.

They are [were!] all on a medically 'isolated' vessel.

Q.
Why couldn't ALL of the passengers, have remained upon that same motor vessel,
until authorities were certain....that any danger of transmission of the dangerous pathogen had passed ???

Instead many of the passengers are being 'evacuated' to their home countries,
'where they will undertake a voluntary quarantine' .....in their own homes.

[sure!  because 'voluntary' quarantines have never been abused by people who undertook to comply with their quarantine rules.
/sarc off]



SPECIAL RULES, FOR SPECIAL [wealthy, especially 'entitled'] PEOPLE ??

WHAT A JOKE.

ROCKVILLE, MD — Hantavirus has quickly become the biggest viral threat to humanity since COVID and as luck would have it, Dr. Fauci has announced that he has been working on a hantavirus vaccine this entire time. How convenient!

Even though Dr. Fauci announced his retirement from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases back in 2022, the world suspected that he was still up to something. Now at last, we know what it was saving the world by fortuitously working on a hantavirus vaccine.

"You wouldn't believe it, but I have been working on hantavirus this whole time," said Dr. Fauci as he was pulled out of retirement for one last viral epidemic. "I've been running experiments on how to make hantavirus even more deadly and contagious. But also, I've been patenting the only cure for it. What are the odds?"

Dr. Fauci then cackled maniacally for several minutes before screaming "I am the science!" and demanding people do a little dance he made up. "Stand on one foot," Dr. Fauci instructed reporters. "Now touch your nose. Now pat your head and rub your stomach simultaneously! Good! Good! Now you're getting it!"
