When health officials say ‘more cases are expected,’ they’re trying to get people prepared before panic fills the gap.

Could easily just be due to warm winter less winterkill in many areas. More contact with rodents.

It’s not surprising. An enclosed space such as the *MV Hondius* is prime breeding ground for pathogens (just look at the norovirus outbreak on another recent cruise).

Uncertainty attributed to a 6-8 week incubation period so people exposed on the boat may not present symptoms for a couple weeks.
Covid at the start was like 2 weeks at most right?

Wasn’t it just the other day they also said they don’t forsee much new cases and risks are low? Or was I hallucinating?

How do we catch it

It’s “rare” though. No need to worry about that eight week incubation period and 40% fatality rate.

What an amazing administration to have in the US for another potential outbreak

“It’s not contagious”
“It won’t reach Western Europe”
“More cases are expected”
“Well it’s flu season..”

Did it mutate or something? that virus has been around for a very long time down here

So they’re saying it won’t be like Covid. But this sounds similar to Covid 😂

WHY DID WE LET THEM OFF THE BOAT????

And yet the US keeps playing war. How do politicians avoid the illness considering their rat status?

Why didn’t they keep everyone on the boat for 6-8 week then,??
And pull up a hospital boat beside it or establish a field hospital on land?

Im really not understanding the constant media coverage of this. Deadly disease being appropriately monitored, the CDC and WHO both assess it as a very low risk.
We dont need to act like this is covid 2.0

So, my major concern isn’t a pandemic or epidemic but rather that they are basically transporting an especially contagious version of hanta virus into places where it isn’t endemic and it could be transmitted to rodents in these places (esp where there are rodent issues like dense cities – ie chicago or new york). This could cause it to become endemic in the rodent population and lead to playing whack-a-mole every time sustained human transmission starts back up.

It kills too quickly to cause a pandemic…..chill.
