One of the very first experts to publicly question the origin of Covid.

What was the companies name on the testing kit they used on you? Any chance you saw it?
Didn’t see it, I should have checked
I am disappoint

well, he wasn’t really tested so..

I’ve seen this movie before.
Of course you have. You doinks said the same thing in 2022 and 2024 when cases started to rise during the summer, which they have every year since 2020.

Dr. Deborah Birx starts to laugh and suggests that we need to begin testing the population for hantavirus with PCR testing, similar to what was done during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She says there could be more human-to-human transmission occurring and that they should be tracking viruses with blood tests like PCR.
She also suggests testing in schools and universities is a good idea.
“We know how to deal with these viruses. We just need to move into the 21st century and make testing more widely available.”

After Covid, I don't trust anything she says.

Someone explain the wisdom of flying these people all over the world instead of quarantining them all together in one place

This is like Ebola where the best course of action for US doctors who were infected in Africa was to take them home for treatment. They survived here and we were even able to derive antibodies from the blood of the nurse that save lives when we had the mini outbreak in Dallas.
The main worry is the people not in the CDC facility. Just have to hope that if they get sick they don't go to a facility that will drop the ball and send them home with Tylenol.

There's probably some dude locked in an isolation pod somewhere in Nebraska that's left behind a his high-stress job and nagging wife. He's come to the realization that this 45-day quarantine may well be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Why not?
Onboard the supplies and personnel that can deal with it.

Cardiopulmonary phase likely requires ventilation and/or other measures to improve oxygen levels. Any Cardiogenic shock event is emergency medicine.
Any attempted treatment using anti-virals or antibodies from prior recovered patients to increase chances of survival is also outside of a cruise ship’s ability. I do not think anti-virals have been effective once symptoms start and likely not a lot of help before symptoms once in bloodstream, but they have been given after exposure and prior to being symptomatic with HPS In the past.

From the outbreak in Argentina back in 2018 or 19, one guy infected about 5 people at a birthday party, That were sitting within a bout 4 feet of him. The epidemiologist at the time felt like it was only highly transmissible at a particular stage of infection. This is nothing new.

Longhorns very conveniently posted an article on the Andes virus just back in March…

They all have to go back … to the Big 12
quote:
A team led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin has produced a detailed blueprint, the highest resolution yet, for a protein complex the Andes virus uses to infect host cells. Having this structure, essentially a 3D map showing the complex shapes of molecules at the nanoscale, is a precursor for vaccine development and the creation of antibody therapies. The new detailed structural information enabled the researchers to produce a vaccine candidate that, when injected in mice, caused their cells to produce neutralizing antibodies against the Andes virus.
“Now that we have a better blueprint of what the virus looks like, we can design effective vaccines and antibody therapies for hantaviruses,” said Jason McLellan, professor of molecular biosciences and the Robert A. Welch Chair in Chemistry at UT Austin, who led the research. Luqiang Guo, a postdoctoral fellow at UT, is the first author.
This work was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), The Welch Foundation, and the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.
In 2024, the NIH identified several families of viruses — including hantaviruses — that were extremely dangerous and had no effective vaccines or treatments, making them of special concern for their potential to cause a pandemic. To better prepare for future pandemics, the NIH awarded a series of grants through the ReVAMPP program to study these viruses and develop new tools to combat them, including the grant that established the Provident consortium and enabled this latest study…
… Kartik Chandran, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and principal investigator for Provident, is the co-senior author of this latest study. Collaborators at Texas A&M University and The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center provided cryo-EM facilities for obtaining structures, and researchers with HDT Bio in Seattle contributed to the publication. Other UT Austin researchers involved in the work were Zunlong Ke, an assistant professor of molecular biosciences, and Elizabeth McFadden, a cell and molecular biology graduate student.
