The hantavirus outbreak has now reached 11 total reported cases, 9 of which have been confirmed. In France, a woman infected in the deadly virus outbreak on a cruise ship is critically ill, a doctor at the Paris hospital caring for the sickened passenger said Tuesday. With 22 contact cases in the country overall, authorities say there is no widespread transmission of the virus at this moment.
So 22 contact cases but no widespread spread yet—I hope they keep a close eye on those people, especially since one woman is critically ill in Paris.
Nine confirmed cases out of 11 reported sounds like the testing is pretty accurate, but how did the cruise ship outbreak start? That’s the real question.
Waiting lists have become a political crisis that affects real people every day.
A critically ill patient from a cruise ship is scary, but I’m relieved to hear authorities say there’s no widespread transmission in France right now.
