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.

Let's get right into it.

Stock of the Week, Dog of the Week, the segment where we pick one stock that stunned at the Met Gala and another that tripped on the stairs.

I won the pre-show tic-tac-toe best of seven, so I get to go first.

And my stock of the week is U.S.

oil companies, which, thanks to the war in Iran, are sending more of their product overseas than at any point in history.

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.

The US was sending over 8.2 million barrels of refined fuels abroad last week, like jet fuel, gas, and diesel, a jump of more than 20% over last year.

Refined fuels have been the main driver, but that unrefined crude is also in high demand.

The US recently became a net exporter of crude oil for the first time since World War II.

which is remarkable given that just over 10 years ago, it was one of the world's biggest importers of crude.

It's been a windfall for U.S.

energy companies, which according to the Financial Times, are set to earn an additional $60 billion of cash flow this year should oil prices stay elevated.
