I love how this hantavirus breaks out on an isolated ship full of people from all over the world, and the immediate solution is to send everyone who was exposed right back to their home countries around the globe. Brilliant containment strategy... :wtf:

According to the BBC:

Contact tracing is under way in several countries for passengers who left the ship before the outbreak was detected - including the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands

So apparently the virus is primarily transmitted airborne from rat faeces and urine. Nice.
Another reason, if you needed one, to not spend 1000s on a cruise holiday.

With a time of 03:47:46, Sylvain Guintoli unofficially breaks the world record for the fastest marathon in motorcycle leathers, incredible 🥹

All to raise money for the charity who helped their family when they lost their young son recently

Full leathers including armour and protection

Top geezer
He's just announced on MotoGP that he's raised about £180,000 so far.
