One person got it from sitting on an airplane seat two rows behind somebody that had it.

While I agree cruise ships are incubators of pathogens, and full of fat people, the last part being neither here nor there but I'm going to mention it anyway, I am starting to get a little worried about this.

Not a lot I don't think it's likely, but if Hanta became more infectious it could be a really big fucking deal. What if some assholes were doing gain of function testing and it got loose?
