      So keep an eye on the Swiss guy, passengers of J-burg flight, all the people who were in contact with the tin-can and… as for the people aboard, damn, best to keep them there for now.

      “Sorry guys, we have exhausted all options and decided to deploy the iceberg”

      I’m sorry, but where exactly in the article does it say it can spread among humans?

      Santa virus, just slip a rat under the ship for me /
      Been an awful sick girl /
      Santa virus, so hurry down the immune system tonight

      I remember laughing off a very eerily similar article in the beginning of 2020, and wondering why everyone was over reacting………

      Just leave the ship out at sea. Let them build a new society out there, water world style, and let them build a nation. Problem solved solved.

      After the whole shitshow with people on cruise ships with COVID in 2020, you’d have thought nobody would ever set foot on one of those floating petri dishes again. But here we are.

      Why can’t they evacuate the humans to a medical quarantine facility, then just sink the plague ship and all its hanta rats?

      But they haven’t confirmed human-to-human transmission yet because they haven’t confirmed the strain… They suspect it, it’s likely, and they’re contact tracing to mitigate risk, but I don’t see a confirmation anywhere yet.

      If everyone could stop huffing rat droppings and start washing their hands, that’d be great

      So we may be soon dealing with another pandemic with an even crazier Trump, RFK Jr, no WHO affiliation, an even.more deeply divided nation many that are already broke and angry, supply chains already fragile or broken. Not to be a doomer, but I can see SOOOO many ways this could go horribly wrong.

      man 2026 is getting wilder and wilder.

      From the early stages of world war 3 to the next plague.

      Some better keep an eye on space – something horrible is probably also gonna come from there

      If there is human to human transmission, how do we know that patient 0 was on the ship?

      Keep that fucking boat in the ocean and air drop supplies. We don’t need this rn man

      Fortunately, we have a proven (COVID) administration that knows how to handle a viral outbreak, and a CDC competently run by a DHHS Administrator who is knowledgeable and proactive with respect to vaccinations and competent in matters requiring medical and scientific decision-making.

      It seems way more likely that the ship has a mouse infestation they haven’t successfully dealt with and don’t want to admit.

      Someone in France who DIDNT GO ON THE CRUISE has hanta now too.
