The #Hantavirus is en route to the UK
Where is Dido Harding when you need her?
@Geri Expected that with a few folks who got off the ship earlier. ECDC has got a handle on it and I will assume that Public Health folks in NHS are doing contact tracing and such.
@Geri In the case of Hantavirus...probably not needed. I am sure that who notified the Argentinians. I suspect that the ship will have an extensive survey and cleaning. The crew and passengers will be tracked for a couple months....Although the Andes variant incubation period is not fully defined, a few months should suffice. Here, I know all the epidemiologists for the local health departments...They will call, visit and coordinate of anyone needs care.
@MessengerFlats something is gonna get us .... if not Hanta, something will
Gaia won't put up with much more human abuse x
@Geri I am still in the habit of monitoring emerging disease....I am very worried about vaccine preventable disease. And a recent bout of people denying vitamin K injections in newborns.
@MessengerFlats fascinating, I knew there was a good reason to follow you xxx
@MessengerFlats they should have been entombed in amber like Han Solo
