newsA 70-year-old Dutch man died on board April 11, and his 69-year-old wife died later in South Africa after leaving the ship, officials said. Her blood later tested positive for the virus, South Africa's health minister said.
The WHO has also begun tracking down people who shared a flight with the 69-year-old passenger. The Dutch woman got off the boat with "gastrointestinal symptoms" on April 24 and died two days later, after her condition "deteriorated during a flight to Johannesburg," the WHO said. "Contact tracing for passengers on the flight has been initiated," it added.
Oh look, and this fucking 69 year old went on a commercial flight before dropping dead. Wonder how many people got infected from that. This virus has a 40% mortality rate. Incubation time is 2-8 weeks. Human to human transmission.
They should have scuttled every cruise ship after COVID.
Yeah and covid is still going around. We just ignore it because it was "bad for the economy!" Gotta allow people to cram into tight spaces aboard environmentally destructive floating cities or else we might have actually eradicated the virus already.

Oh no biggie, just a literal apocalypse virus located in the middle of a tourism network; what could go wrong?
On the (depressing) upside, with such a high mortality rate, it can be self-limiting so we can contain the spread easier...
WE ARE SO BACK
Tourism will kill us all.
Human to human transmission is still considered quite rare tho, no? Hopefully it didn't mutate to be more contagious.
I need a sexy scientist to tell me everything is going to be okay
