Hantavirus has a high mortality rate (25%), and normally doesn't transmit between people. It's likely airborne, but it appears nothing is being done on the ship that reflects that, because the whole Covid debacle means you're not allowed to suggest diseases are airborne (which Covid absolutely is). Instead everybody will be told to wash their hands lots, which is almost a total waste of time. Let's hope this is managed and the strain of virus doesn't have pandemic potential. Millions died because vested interests wouldn't allow Covid to be declared as airborne, to protect economies. This virus would kill far more people again, if it is airborne and has pandemic potential.
