Also don't anyone go back and read the first like 9 pages or so of this thread from Jan 2020 to March...so many of us were basically like "this won't be that bad"...and the inexorable shutting down of things and numbers spiking happened over the course of like a week in March.

Again Hantavirus is not Covid...it's airborne between mice but not humans...however, I'm fascinated by the doctor getting it on the cruise ship, as it would suggest an airborne between humans strain of the Andes strain (which has been confirmed this is) a mutation, if you will.

And it's got a 40% death rate, which is a high amount for it to become a pandemic...but a mutation so it's less deadly and more livable while being transmissible would still be horribly bad.

So I'm not panicking yet....but this all seems so eerily familiar.

Someone in France apparently got it just from being near an infected person on a flight.

Not clear how long they were near them, or if anything unusual happened. I'd guess they were probably sitting next to them?

Actually it doesn't specify that they got it on the flight. They were just on the same flight as someone else who was infected. But apparently had no other connection to them or to the cruise ship.
