I'm thinking, you know, in the vein of Alex Trebek or David Attenborough.

And when you think about, you know, how much pleasure and information they've delivered to you over the years, I mean, just watching Planet Earth those early years was a truly magical experience, and he was the main reason for it.

And now a word from our sponsor, AT&T Business.

Toby, why are you so blue?

Cheer up, my friend, because with AT&T Business, every week can feel like Small Business Week.

They give you the freedom to grow without worrying about your connectivity holding you back.

That's why AT&T Business helps small businesses scale without constantly reworking their setup.

there's two main arenas of this war against hantavirus right now one is this massive contact tracing operation across the world there's those 30 people that got off the ship from at least 12 countries so in the united states they're tracking people in three states in switzerland they're also tracking people all over the world trying to find out who these people are what who have they been in contact with after they left the ship before this outbreak was understood

And then the other arena is the ship itself.

There are still over 100 people, passengers and crew on this ship, and they're heading to the Canary Islands right now, where on Saturday they will get there and then hopefully go through this evacuation process beginning on Monday.

But yeah, there are people who paid for this cruise that are still on the ship right now and have been reading about.

what it's like to be on a ship where already three people have died and five people have been taken to hospitals after being infected with this hantavirus.

And yeah, it's what we know from COVID.

They're social distancing.

They're wearing masks.

They're trying to do anything to stay occupied, watching TV, reading books.

And the people on the ship say morale is pretty high given all the circumstances, but I'm sure they're pretty excited to get off.

Yeah, the sentiment online toward the cruise industry was not so positive this week.

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.
