US and French nationals test positive for hantavirus after leaving ship

wait so they got it from the ship itself or like after leaving? that seems like bad timing to figure that out nvm

People claiming cruise ships are safe are delusional-I've seen like two documentaries about outbreaks and honestly that's basically peer-reviewed science. The hantavirus cases literally prove ships are floating petri dishes ur government doesn't want u knowing about.

honestly ships need better hygiene standards. like obviously people getting sick from rodents on a cruise is pretty bad and we should probably care about that more.

Look this clearly shows cruise ships need way stricter sanitation protocols because ur basically living in a petri dish with thousands of people, and thats obviously how the virus spread so fast between passengers.

we literally ignored warnings about cruise ship disease vectors after norovirus outbreaks and now here we are again lol, some lessons just don't stick apparently

oh god ships are basically petri dishes honestly. like you're trapped in recycled air with strangers and now hantavirus? anyway i was trying to book a cruise and my friend just texted me something completely unrelated but yeah this is terrifying.

Honestly this is wild hantavirus on a ship means whoever's doing sanitation needs a serious wake-up call. Rodent contamination on vessels is basically a historical nightmare we thought we'd solved.
