These are good articles on the latest viral outbreak -- going into some of the details. To be clear, it does not look like the start of a pandemic, so far, to informed observers

"The CDC has fewer staff to respond to the outbreak due to massive staffing cuts over the past year. The top US official responsible for public health on cruise ships has recently retired, according to an internal memo obtained by STAT.
Experts in infectious disease and public health have criticized the CDC’s relative silence on the outbreak, arguing that the US response so far suggests the country is ill-prepared to handle another major health crisis."

It seems exceedingly unlikely this is another pandemic.
This might be a good time to book a cruise, actually, when everyone else is scared, you could probably get a very good deal. The antartica cruises go through the Drake passage, I believe, which has a reputation for a bit of rough seas. Perhaps it is already scary enough that the virus will not deter people from booking. It might be that there are better deals on the caribbean or Alaska where there is already probably, overcapacity.

Hanta virus is brand new, and very dangerous. Imagine what could happen if this virus came to New Mexico? We have never seen anything like it and it will spread like wildfire.
Ok, just kidding. Look it it up, it is not going be another pandemic. Just another hyped news story like the 10 dead scientists!
For the sake of this blog I will let you know some myths.
(1) There is no conspiracy of 10 dead scientists
(2) There are no aliens.
(3) The loss of oil through the strait of Hormuz will not cause billions to starve to death.
(4) NIF will not power the United States.
(5) The AI 2027 scenario is not true
(6) There is no bigfoot
(7) We do not have secret free energy technology that is being hidden.
(8) the Hanta virus is not the next Covid

"People jump to this conclusion because a cruise ship is involved, and the [COVID-19] pandemic had cruise ships involved, but there’s no evidence this will be a pandemic. I think we will see this fade away over 10 to 14 days."
