Deja vu, maybe it’s a glitch in the Matrix. More likely it’s par for the course in the Trump matrix. There’s an outbreak of deadly Hantavirus on a ship headed for the Canary Islands.The World Health Organization says that to date, there are eight cases of hantavirus infection linked to the MV Hondius, which is currently en route to the Canary Islands. Three passengers who boarded the Hondius have died, one of whom was among five confirmed infected. What does our commander in chief say?

The last thing we need is another plague to break out with this clown back in office.Â
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director-general, has said that the overall public health risk from hantavirus remains low, and officials have dismissed the concern of hantavirus becoming a global pandemic threat like COVID-19.
But investigations continue as the situation grows complex. Nearly 150 passengers and crew members from 23 different nationalities are still on board the ship, while several other passengers disembarked before news of the outbreak emerged. Health authorities also confirmed that the hantavirus involved in the outbreak is the Andes strain, the only known strain transmissible between people and has been linked to infections with higher mortality.
Canada has the infection, which is a blessing because they will efficiently and sanely deal with it. Otherwise, look for a repeat of COVID-19 and crazy people drinking fishtank cleaner and the like.
