People are like, why are we still going on cruises when this can happen?

Obviously, in COVID in March 2020, the cruise industry was also in the spotlight for being this petri dish of disease.

an area or a place where these kind of diseases can spread.

But since we're talking about COVID, I mean, WHO officials yesterday stressed that they're taking this seriously, but we should not consider this like COVID at all, because basically the COVID is transmitted a lot more easily

The hantavirus spread on this cruise ship was also quite unusual.

This human transmission is very rare because you need to be in close contact with someone for a very long time, unlike COVID, where if you're just in the room for a couple of hours or minutes, then you could basically contract it then.

So that's why basically the only place where a human can give hantavirus to another human might be a cruise ship.

Last week, U.S.

fuel exports reached a record as European and Asian countries looked to America to fill the gap caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

That waterway, through which a fifth of global oil supplies traverses, has been effectively shut down to ships since the U.S.

and Israel struck Iran more than two months ago.
