Three people have died after a suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, the World Health Organization (WHO) has told the BBC.
One case has been confirmed, with five suspected cases under investigation, it said. One British national aged 69 is in intensive care in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Hantavirus is usually passed to humans from rodents via their urine or faeces. It can cause severe respiratory illness. Rarely, it can be transmitted between people.
Stop licking all the door knobs then. I was fine on my last one, they even provided hand sanitizer before eating which was nice.
That’s the worst apéritif I’ve ever heard of.
Hantavirus comes from mouse or rat shit in the food.
Norovirus comes from human shit in the food.
Purell will not cleans your sins.
Someone with norovirus shitty hands opens a door, smearing poop viruses on the handle. You open the door and go to get something to eat. Should you clean your hands before eating?
Doesn’t make you immune but basic hygiene helps reduce the chance of catching something.
