I'm excited to see where she goes.

I really, really feel for these workers, and I really, really feel for all of these customers that were stranded.

Spirit, in so many ways, like something that we love to make fun of just a little bit, like you take spirit when you have to, but also it was like actually available, and it worked, and it wasn't nearly as expensive as anyone else.

It's kind of sad, especially when I look at like the shrinking airline industry in the US.

When I look over at Europe and I'm like, you guys have so many low cost carriers.

And especially with like all of the deals, everything back and forth between like JetBlue and Spirit that got like squashed.

It was just like a little bit sad to see that happen.

No, but it would also just be, like, ridiculous.

Like, this is wild.

I think of that 30 Rock episode when Liz Lemon is like, oh, yeah, this is my flight.

And they're like, sorry, we're out of flights now.

We just make popcorn, which was an incredible scene.

But, like, that's so real.

So in recent days, there have been more and more headlines of a hantavirus outbreak happening on the MV Hondias, a Dutch-flagged cruise ship.

The cruise departed from the south end of Argentina over a month ago, making stops in Antarctica, the island of St.

Helena, among other stops.

The trouble started when a man started showing symptoms like a fever, a headache, and eventually this became a respiratory illness.

He died on board, and a few weeks later, his wife did as well.

She was later confirmed to have the hantavirus too.

As of this week, seven cases have now been confirmed, and the ship is currently carrying 147 passengers and crew.
