Evidence from previous outbreaks, including the Epuyén cluster in Argentina, in which three patients accounted for 21 (64%) of 33 secondary infections, indicates that person-to-person transmission of Andes virus infection can occur through close contact.
And that was on land. There’s no precedent for a cruise ship, a hilariously infectious environment. Fuck cruise ships forever, I wish we could just ban them.
One person got it from sitting on an airplane seat two rows behind somebody that had it.
While I agree cruise ships are incubators of pathogens, and full of fat people, the last part being neither here nor there but I’m going to mention it anyway, I am starting to get a little worried about this.
Not a lot I don’t think it’s likely, but if Hanta became more infectious it could be a really big fucking deal. What if some assholes were doing gain of function testing and it got loose?
