As the cruise ship with a deadly outbreak of hantavirus prepares to disembark to the Canary Islands, countries around the world are mobilizing to monitor the potential symptoms of more than 140 passengers and crew members on board.
Well, this one is human transmissible, and it may be fairly easily transmissible given that several people got sick on the same cruise. So now we’re waiting to find out if people who came back to Canada are carriers or not. Also, apparently they’re self isolating for 30 days while it can take up to 8 weeks to develop. 🤷
Of course I’m aware, that’s why I asked if there was a particular reason everyone was freaking out
Is it a particularly bad unique mutation then?
