Brenda Power

Good morning.

So, Brenda, we hear there on the news, it seems as we speak, people are being taken off the Hantavirus boat.

Why did you pick as a piece on this Caroline Graham in the mail on Sunday revealed the real ground zero where outbreak that's already claimed 32 lives began?

It does, though, in relation to all that, we have seen stories all week that it can lead to super spreader events.

There was a birthday party.

Where 11 people died.

Is this trauma, Brenda?

Is this COVID trauma?

Possibly.

Because remember, like, oh, there's a thing in China, nothing to worry about and all that kind of thing.

And we should say that all the passengers, none of the passengers disembarking from the ship, Spanish doctors have gone on board.

Yes.

Nobody is symptomatic.

And the Department of Health statement this morning is saying we understood that we understand that the two Irish passengers are currently well.

But more trust, it does have a long incubation period, potentially, does it, as our medical person this morning?

Did you ever hear about the hantavirus in your medical training?

Yeah.

So this was before COVID.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, they do seem to be really on it.
