CDC and Nebraska cant agree on whether to quarantine hantavirus cruise ship passengers being flown to a military base. Meanwhile 22 other countries are making their own rules.

the MV Hondius docked in Tenerife today with 147 people from 23 countries after 3 passengers died from Andes hantavirus. now 10 flights are scattering them globally.

every country doing it differently. Spain military hospital. France 72 hours hospital plus 45 days home quarantine. Netherlands home quarantine. UK hospitalized. US flying them to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska but CDC says no quarantine while the governor says mandatory 42 day isolation.

the economic angle nobody is talking about: if even one case pops up outside the ship in the next 6 weeks, cruise and travel stocks take a hit, port authorities start screening, and we get quarantine debates in 23 legislatures simultaneously. the 42 day ECDC monitoring window runs until mid-June.

Andes virus is the only hantavirus that spreads human to human. a French passenger showed symptoms on the repatriation flight today.

not saying this becomes the next pandemic. saying that 23 countries with inconsistent protocols for a human-transmissible pathogen from one ship is a coordination gap with economic consequences if anything goes sideways.
