*A dozen workers at the university medical center in Nijmegen will enter a precautionary quarantine after possible exposure to hantavirus. The 12 employees at the Radboudumc hospital were involved in the case of a patient who tested positive for the viral infection after spending time on the Hondius cruise ship, the hospital said in a statement.*
*The workers at the hospital did not follow a specific, strict protocol when handling the infected patient’s blood and urine. Despite the risk of infection being low, the workers will remain in “preventive quarantine for six weeks as a precaution,” the hospital wrote on Monday. It has not been revealed whether the people at risk are nurses, orderlies, doctors, medical students, or if they hold other positions…*

Idk I bought a bunch of purell and they had n95 masks for 50 cents a box at Walgreens when RFK was confirmed a year ago.

Bought some masks today before we run into the exact same shit as last time and there’s not enough of anything to go around any more.
It’s clear we aren’t capable of containing a parrot in a cage at this point.

I’d bet on the Dutch and the American to try to start pandemics. Luckily, they most likely will fail.

LMAO doing their best in trying to cause a pandemic from a disease that is not supposed to become pandemic. Jesus christ.

I like it when we have more quarantined people than infected people. When we have more infected people than quarantined people, then we’re f***ed.

I think it’s more concerning that they’re putting the dutch passengers in home quarantine with blind fate that they’ll follow the quarantine guidelines for 6 straight weeks. Surely that’ll go by smoothly, right?

Shouldn’t have let them off that damn boat. Do what you have to do to deliver supplies, but don’t let them off the boat.

2 cases because 3 cases became potentially 12
The more people sick the more likely it gets out of hand.

Is all of this actually worrisome or is it just being over reported because of covid ptsd? Genuine question.

Letting these people off the ship might turn out to be one of the worst decisions in the history of our species .
Why didn’t we air drop them food, fuel up the ship, and let them cruise around for a few months?????? The ship is specifically designed for long term habitation away from land.
Most of them had already been sailing on it for a month!!! What’s the big deal about another month???
100 bucks says they were disembarked after numerous bribes from the cruise industry.

Why were these people being taken off the ship and then out of the country they docked in? They flew them all around the world just to release them each to their countries. I’m almost prepared to call it malicious with how ridiculous it sounds. And yes, I am well aware they’re supposed to be following quarantine procedures, and this article is a great example as to how all the holes in this Swiss cheese of a process can line up to fuck it all up.

At this point we’re speedrunning to the next pandemic.
If other countries were to completely block all flights with the Netherlands i wouldn’t even blame them. It’s very sloppy how my country has been handling this virus so far.
– Relying on hope that the home quarantined passengers won’t go out.
– Hospital workers being sloppy with the rules.
What’s next? “100 new cases discovered by Saturday”?

After reading the article, probably important to reassure that none of the 12 have tested positive yet and sounds like an abundance of caution since staff preformed standard disposal and handling procedures instead of the more higher threshold stuff

Ah, lab workers.
Curious if they were given a heads up. I work in clinical microbiology and they did not warn us of a certain organism being on the differential diagnosis. The specimen arrived in a cracked tube. People were also exposed in other parts of the lab due to this not being communicated.

I do not have enough air in my lungs to scream loud enough I TOLD YOU SO. Of the 20+ chains of custody, some of which are branching out even within the same country, some are bound to fail.
There was never a good reason to distribute everyone all over the planet. They should have quarantine insitu.
