Back to you next time.
Hi, I'm Wendy Zuckerman, and this is Science Versus.
The show that pits facts against another friggin' pandemic?
Today on the show, Hunter virus.
There's been a lot of reports of an outbreak of a weird virus on the MV Hondias cruise ship.
What began as a cruise of a lifetime has instead turned into a major medical mystery and an international crisis.
The first cases seemed to have started with a husband and wife that boarded after a birdwatching expedition.
The couple ended up dying, along with one other passenger.
And over the next few weeks, more cases have started rolling out.
And one thing that's really worrying here is just how deadly this virus is.
Something like 40% of people who get diagnosed with it will die.
And scariest still, according to news reports, it feels like this Hantavirus outbreak is weird because it's spreading from person to person.
