So this what's what happened on the cruise ship is actually helping our understanding of how this thing spreads.

Unfortunately, but yeah.

When we see and hear that the people have been let off the ship and that they're in a containment facility in Nebraska, that feels good.

I mean, we don't like that anybody's sick, but good that they're all in one place.

But you do know that there are like real outstanding fears here, right?

What happens if, you know, one of them leaves the Nebraska facility too early?

Or what happens if somebody somewhere drops the ball?

How much of a concern is that really?

Okay.

Okay.

That's somewhat comforting.

In the realm of less than comforting, President Trump was asked late last week if Americans should be worried.

And he said... It should be fine.

We hope.

It was not what we've come to expect from presidents when there is one of these sort of situations.

But hey, it's President Trump.

How would you rate the public health response coming from the administration, coming from the top of the food chain in Washington to this point?

All right.

So it seems pretty clear if you look online that there is a lot of misinformation spreading about hantavirus.

Some of it is kind of in a jokey way.
