American passengers from the cruise ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak, including at least one presumed positive case, arrived in Nebraska early Monday for evaluation at a highly specialized quarantine unit before eventually continuing on to their homes – and weeks of monitoring for symptoms of infection.The virus, typically associated with rodents, may have passed from human to human aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship, according to the World Health Organization. Since April 11, three people from the ship have died while a handful of others are sick.The plane landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha shortly before 2:30 a.m. local time. There were 17 US citizens, and one British national who resides in the US, on the flight to Omaha, Spanish Health Minister Mónica García said.Here’s what we know about the American passengers’ journey back to the United States and what will happen next:One of the Americans has tested “mildly” positive for the virus and another has mild symptoms, the US Department of Health and Human Services said late Sunday. Both traveled in biocontainment units on the plane “out of an abundance of caution,” HHS said in a post on X.The passenger who tested positive does not have symptoms but will be taken directly to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the facility said late Sunday. The other passengers will go to the center’s National Quarantine Unit for assessment and monitoring.The Spanish Ministry of Health said the positive test came after an official from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control boarded the ship to evaluate passengers.Read More: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/10/us/hantavirus-cruise-passengers-nebraska-facility?Date=20260511&Profile=CNN
>>1514053lmao we learned nothing from covid.
>>1514074We definitely did. No one gives a dick about this and no one is going to quarantine or mask up for this bullshit
>>1514085I hope the maggies dont
>>1514053Good thing DOGE fired the entire Vessel Sanitation Program so that we don't have any cruise ship inspectors or epidemologists specialized in handling plague ships.
>>1514121Hey don't give Musk all the credit; RFK killed what was left.
>>1514085>40% mortality rateBy all means, go catch it.
>>1514103>>1514133MAGA voluntarily killing themselves through hantavirus exposure would be greatIts just a shame its not going to make it far enough into rural India to take out the esl shill
Our navy is sinking the wrong vessels.
As an official spokesrodent for theN.A.A.D.R(National association for the advancement of deermice rodents), very few people die every year on this planet from inhaling our dried poop and pee. Rats and house mice cause a lot more trouble.
>>1514203Shut up you dirty rat. Listen up fellow Americans, now that I'm up here in heaven, not only do I have my wings but I have a new brain, I'm in the call comes, do your duty and get the VAX.Just read the news for god sakes:RAT VIRUS SPIKE Two cruise passengers test positive for rat virus after being evacuated off ship in Tenerife – with more cases feared https://www.the-sun.com/news/16341275/cruise-passenger-rat-virus-infected-flight/
>>1514053Hantavirus isn’t contagious. This is just boring at best and a distraction at worst. Maybe an indictment of the cruise industry if there is any story to be had here.
>>1514226This is the one strain that is contagious.And it has an incubation period of up to six weeks.And they just spread the people aboard the ship across the globe.And the Dutch already fucked up and had to lockdown a hospital after they failed to follow proper containment procedures and twelve doctors were potentially exposed.And it has around a 40% mortality rate.And the FIFA World Cup is next month.Thanks for playing!
>>1514342damn, i forgot about the files
>>1514226I long for the days of COVID where I could hate people openly on the Internet who were simply conducting their daily lives without being attempting to be interfered with.Will we ever get those days back?
>>1514074>WeYou mean conservatives learned nothing. Well actually they did, they're just going to let many more people die compared to the trump virus.
>>1514348>I imagine my enemies just sitting there on the internet seething about me like fucking losers (Which I am definitely not doing right now). I am such a fucking imbecile, if I had infinite time I'd still just be screeching on the internet, like the retarded losers I'm definitely not projecting on. My choices were stay at home screeching on the internet, or go try and get people killed, because I don't believe in basic germ theory, and am far too retarded to conceive ways to better myself that would've mitigated the risk to people close to me. I helped extend the duration of lockdown and kill millions of people in my own country, but am priviledged enough not to know anyone I killed.
>>1514494Correct. I attended the BLM rallies because science said racial justice repels COVID.And I beat the every loving hell out of anyone within 5 feet 11 inches of me.I shouted WEAR A MASK! at the op of my lungs several times a day.I called a ife saving miracle drug "horse paste", because my love of science is so great, testing it to see if it works to save lives was a crime.I'm a better person than you will ever be.
>>1514496>I'm so fucking retarded I just defended injecting horse dewormer. I just strawmanned you for going to BLM rallies and putting yourself in public so you could assault people. (You didn't do any of that.) You tried to strawman me as anti-science. Well it didn't work dipshit, you can't strawman me as a moron if I AM A MORON!Well yes, I guess that is what a raving lunatic would say.>I'm a better person than you will ever be.You're a weak, emotionally volatile manchild preaching mean spirited, factually inaccurate rhetoric to the armpit of the internet. I've stepped in shit walking my dogs that was a better person than you.
>>1514503I'm sorry, but I'm more moral than you.Please don't @me with your antivaxxer shit.
gaddafi predicted covid and hantavirus in 2009
>>1514053if ur rich enough to pay for expensive cruises you're rich enough for life insurance
>>1514503>look at me i'm a leftist trump rushing out a covid vaccine is HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION.>oh but the biden vaccine that came out a month later is perfectly safe and fine infact if you don't rush to get it ASAP ur a selfish subhuman nazi who should die>also i'm going to read uneducated misinformation pieces about Ivermectin, a drug on the WHO's list of essential drug and pretend its only use is as a horse dewormerLoser leftist loooserand people wonder why leftists are mocked and rediculed
>>1514546(me)ok idk which one's the leftist lunatic and i'm too tired of reading through quote posts so whichever one of you is the leftist retard >>1514546was directed at you>>1514503>>1514496>>1514512
>>1514547>I'm a right-wing retard and I'm confused about what's going on, shocking absolutely no one.>>1514546>I literally just told you what your position is so I can defeat it. I am incapable of engaging with anything other than a strawman. I spell looser "loooser" and ridiculed "rediculed" because english is definitely my first language.
>>1514546ok so this was directed at >>1514569 whose an absolute human filth and retard. thanks for clearing it up for everyone.problem solved please kill yourself >>1514569imbred
>>1514545Two things.Cruises are like 150-300 bucks per person per day, they're a pretty reasonable vacation. Lots of people consider them kinda trashy.The kinds of people that do things like go on cruises aren't the kinds of people building generational wealth, it's a bunch of impulsive idiots.
>>1514582https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/suspected-hantavirus-outbreak-cruise-ship-9.7186704according to this it was 14k-22k euros/ 16.5k-26kusd for the cruise, i'm not sure if the plane ticket to fly there was included but that's easily another 1-2kthey're well off rich people
>>1514587Wow, how different our cultures are.
Okay so it may not be capable of becoming another covid, but what happens if it manages to infect local rat populations in the regions with infected tourists?
