A few people have died & others are sick after picking up Hantavirus on a cruise ship.

Hantavirus comes from rodent excretions. They seem to think a stop in Argentina may have exposed passengers to the virus.

Hantavirus is spread among humans by close contact. Supposedly, it's not transmitted as easily as other viruses.

There's no cure for Hantavirus. It has to run its course. People with healthy immune systems recover. Compromised folks may have a harder time.

The World Health Organization and other medical professionals are telling folks not to worry too much about the spread of Hantavirus. Guess they don't want the pandemic panic attacks.

In the meantime, passengers are being quarantined & traced. The media is running with scissors. 😁😎
