Three people dead. Eight infected. 23 nationalities on board. And the ship couldn’t dock anywhere.
This wasn’t a movie. This was April 2025.
Andes hantavirus is the only strain that spreads person to person. It kills up to 50% of those infected. Symptoms take up to 6 weeks to show — meaning passengers had already landed in Switzerland, the US, and the Netherlands before anyone knew what was happening.
No one knew who else was carrying it.
This is the outbreak nobody was talking about.
