WEBVTT - CDC Classifies Hantavirus Outbreak Level 3; New Suspected Case In Non-Passenger 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, it is Friday, May eighth. We've already got

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>three dead. Now we have more suspected cases and more

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:11.799
<v Speaker 1>suspected places.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 2>The CDC has upped its alert level.

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 1>But hey, doctors are saying, we got nothing to worry

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>about in this hantavirus outbreak in the ocean.

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 2>And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes.

0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's start there. Don't want to ever be accused.

0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Of being alarmist, but it seems every doctor we're hearing from,

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>every doctor we read about and see on TV, all

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>seem to be saying there is a low, low risk

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>that this thing is going to turn into much more

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 1>than it is now.

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Is that fair? Yes?

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 3>In fact, we actually chuckled just listening to one doctor

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 3>continue to repeat so far, so good, and we were

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 3>laughing because, look, I think many of us are on

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>edge a bit, just having emerged from the coronavirus pandemic.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 3>We've all gone back in our minds and remembered the

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 3>early oh and not a big deal, nothing to worry about.

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 3>And now you just hear doctors kind of saying the

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>same thing, and we're not saying that it's anything to

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 3>worry about. It's just you start thinking, wow, well that

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 3>sound by come back and bite him in the ass later,

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 3>hopefully not.

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Well. We said that about a lot of doctors.

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>They do seem it's almost and I'm not getting onto

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>them road, but it seems like they're going out of

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 1>their way to go the other way to tell everybody

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 1>that this isn't a big deal, to the point that

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>almost sounds ridiculous. It's almost like they're not taking into

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>context our previous and very recent experience right right.

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>They need I want some validation here, Yes, I want

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>some validation that I have every reason to be slightly nervous.

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Both of our daughters have texted us saying, I'm a

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 3>little worried. You know, even kids are hearing this, and

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>they lived through the pandemic, you know, so they don't

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 3>have as much perspective. I think Sabine said, I'm going

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>to go through two pandemics in six years of my

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 3>thirteen years of life, and so from that perspective, you

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 3>can see why a lot of people are on edge.

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 3>And then you hear the CDC is announcing a level

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.639
<v Speaker 3>three outbreak. You even said to me, what does that mean?

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>So I looked it up look, level three is the

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 3>lowest level, but it does mean that they have activated

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>basically an emergency operations center surrounding the haunt of virus,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>so that is now official. We now have a level

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 3>three outbreak that the CDC is monitoring. Level two is

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 3>a moderate concern. Level one is the highest, and the pandemic,

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 3>of course was level one.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>But it probably started as a three.

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 3>So yes, now we have begun a level three outbreak

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 3>according to the CDC. Which look, initially, when this thing started,

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 3>what was it. I can't even remember when we first

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 3>started talking about this Monday, was it over the weekend?

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 3>But even you were like, eh, it's just a cruise ship,

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 3>a couple people, just a minor outbreak. It didn't seemed

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 3>like it was going to be much at all, and

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.239
<v Speaker 3>fully contained the ship.

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It was so away from everything, like you said, fully contained.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I think what was I'm not sure what it was.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 1>It turned around for me. I think when you started

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>talking about the andes and human to human and this possibility,

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and certainly this woman had gotten off the plane certainly

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>changed everything got off the boat. But she's not the

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>only one. We have learned so so much more so

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>we want to give you an update about where we are,

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and the updates includes, First of all, you should know yes,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>there are five states in the US that are monitoring

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>people who.

0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Got off that boat. Will give you the latest on that.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>We still have the numbers of three dead, another five

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>cases either suspected or confirmed, but robes the biggest concern,

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and some headlines here are about people who never set

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>foot on the damn boat.

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so this is what is concerning. This was the

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>most concerning thing to me when I woke up this

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 3>morning and saw that today this is the latest as

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>of Friday, UK health authorities are saying a third British

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 3>national is now suspected to have hantavirus. That British national

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 3>lives in Tristan da Cunha. It's a remote British territory

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 3>in the South Atlantic where the ship stopped. So this

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 3>person was never on the cruise ship. This person lives

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 3>in one of those remote islands who now has fallen

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 3>ill and is suspected to have hantavirus. Now, if this

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 3>case is confirmed, this is deeply concerning because I'm just

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>wondering how somebody who lives on the island got in

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 3>close personal prolonged contact with someone on the ship who

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 3>had hauntavirus.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Because Robes, that's one of the things they keep trying

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to calm us down about. They say, oh, we heard

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the World Health Organization representative speaking about this that it's

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>not like is not like the flu and easily passed

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>through a couple of droplets. He said, it has to

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>be a longer, extended, even intimate contact. You could see

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>a husband and wife around each other that long ropes.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>This gets my attention, And we don't know what. Maybe

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody on the ships dating somebody on the island. Yeah,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>maybe it went out for dinner, maybe they hung. I

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but Robes, this is a pretty random thing.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Given a lot of what we're saying about how difficult

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed.

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>To be for this to go from human to human.

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 3>You're going to start to hear more about this case

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 3>because literally Friday today, and obviously they are ahead of

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 3>us there in Great Britain, but this just got released,

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 3>this information that they now think perhaps a British national

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 3>in one of these islands has haunted.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>How small as this island.

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but it's look, I traveled through some

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 3>of this area let's just say it's the remotest place

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 3>I've ever been to on Earth, so I can't imagine

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 3>there would be a lot of people here. So that

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 3>is the good news that it is isolated to this

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 3>very isolated area. However, the bad news is the fact

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 3>that this person could have contracted this and not have

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 3>ever set foot on the boat, all.

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Right, and that this isn't the only one, right, we

0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>had the other one was on the plane.

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Is that correct?

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, yes, the French citizen who is isolating right now,

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 3>and we're confused what this means. But this person is

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 3>showing what they're calling benign symptoms of the virus after

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 3>being on the plane with the Dutch woman who later collapsed.

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>So that would make more sense, right if somebody that

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>close proximity you could have been sitting next.

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 3>To you, that would make sense. She is being tested

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 3>right now, And there was a flight attendant who fell

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 3>ill in the Netherlands. She was rushed to the hospital.

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.919
<v Speaker 3>They just said that she tested negative for hauntavirus. But

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 3>she was also on that plane, and right now Dutch

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 3>public health officials are currently can you imagine this contacting contact,

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 3>tracing all the passengers, I believe they say eighty people

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 3>were on that flight from Saint Helena to Johannesburg, so

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 3>that's concerning. And then in addition, in Singapore, two men

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 3>who were on that flight, who were on that cruise

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 3>ship are now in quarantine and undergoing testing right now.

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see any word about their health. If Singapore

0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 3>is just doing this because they were on the ship

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 3>and on the flight, or if they're exhibiting any symptoms unclear,

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 3>but we're waiting for word on what their test results

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>are as well.

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm just keeping up with my numbers here. How

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>is it two or three people who are now suspected

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>or confirmed cases that were never on the ship? That

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>two or three? There are one the British national on

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the island.

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 3>And then and then the French citizen. Okay, so too,

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>all right, yes, because the right now the flight attendant

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 3>apparently does not have hauntavirus. We're always a little suspicious too,

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 3>having lived through COVID, you know how many times you

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 3>could test negative and then test positive. So and they were.

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 3>There was a growing sorry, a learning curve for even

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>doctors epidemiologist on how this how the coronavirus was mutating, operating,

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 3>how to test for it all of that? Not sure

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 3>if there are those same vague areas, but you would

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 3>imagine there would be. This isn't a common strain of

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 3>this virus that we didn't even know about until last year.

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how much background they have on this virus

0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>if it was, you know, isolated to a remote area

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>of the world, how much study, how much energy was

0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>put into this thing? Are we in a case where

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>we have a brand new thing that they're trying to

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>map out?

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Are we?

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're not starting maybe from the very beginning

0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of the drawing board, but robes is this thing? How

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>quickly How quickly did we know about strains of COVID?

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 1>How quickly were we hearing we're dealing with this one?

0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Now we're dealing with this one. I kind of remember,

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did we start out with just one strain?

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>And was it more than one strain? I kind of remember.

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>So we have this virus, this and these things are

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.559
<v Speaker 1>going to start doing weird stuff? Has it already done

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>weird stuff?

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>This is the concern? And look, I actually we're gonna

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna call my dad, who's a microbiologist later today

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 3>and see, because I know he knows a lot about

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 3>this type of thing. And I think we are at

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>a point now where we need some experts, and we're

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 3>hearing them on television, but we're and we're all hearing

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 3>them give us perspective to not get alarmed, to not

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 3>be concerned. But look, this is just the beginning, because

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 3>there are still one hundred and forty six people that

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 3>I think we've finally got word. It's been confusing how

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 3>many people are still on this ship. But the AP

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 3>is reporting one hundred and forty six people from twenty

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 3>three different countries, including seventeen Americans, are still on board

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>that ship. Okay, that ship is arriving in the Canary

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Islands around seven am Eastern time on Sunday, and the

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 3>US right now says it is going to send a

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 3>chartered plane with all of the necessary precautions to pick

0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 3>up those seventeen people and bring them back to the United.

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>States, where we'd all like to know where they're going

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>to drive.

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 3>We all like to know who knows. I don't have

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 3>that worry.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Atlanta, CDC down there, maybe DC that.

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 3>Would make the most sense to do something.

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Either Walter Reid or somewhere affiliated with the CDC, seeing

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 4>how they now have a devoted team solely now focusing

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 4>on this hantavirus outbreak, So that supposedly is all happening

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 4>in the next couple of days.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 3>A lot of attention and focus is certainly going to

0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 3>be on that. But look, we still have those passengers

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 3>who disembarked early on April twenty fourth. They went to

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 3>twelve different countries. They went to the UK, the US,

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 3>the Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, Germany, Denmark, Saint Kitts and Nevis,

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 3>New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, and my favorite unknown. There are

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:52.440
<v Speaker 3>two passengers that they don't know what countries they went to.

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 3>They just know that they left.

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Do they know what countries they're from?

0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 3>They only they just list an unknown and we have

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>two passengers. That is certainly concerning. So for the perspective

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 3>of this, health officials across four continents right now are

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 3>scrambling to track down and monitor those passengers and trace

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 3>all the people they came into contact with along the

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 3>way before they were notified. So when we come back,

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 3>we are going to talk about the five states here

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>in this country who are now monitoring those passengers.

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 4>And.

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ,

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 3>where we are yes talking about the level three outbreak

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 3>deemed by the CDC, the hauntavirus outbreak and what that

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 3>means and what is happening right now because this information

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 3>is rapidly changing. But right now we know that there

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>are five states in this country free monitoring known passengers

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 3>who disembark from that cruise ship and now are trying

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 3>to find all the people they came into contact with, me.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Six or seven states, given those two unknowns, it's unknown.

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I hate that. How do they not know either where

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 3>they're from, where they were headed?

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>How do you not know who's on you a passenger

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 2>on the ship? Unknown? You know what I prefer they

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 2>just left that information.

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 3>They just write refuge as theirs their place of origin.

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Obviously everyone had to have a passport. So that's confused.

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not a cheap.

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Trip, it's not it's not okay outside that unknown. I

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just leave that off. Don't even tell me that.

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 3>Concerning all right, So we'll start in Virginia because they

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 3>have one This is also slightly confusing, one resident who

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.719
<v Speaker 3>they say is currently in good health that they are

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 3>monitoring and then they say there are fewer than five

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 3>potentially exposed Virginians who might be identified in the days ahead.

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.679
<v Speaker 3>I quote to them, that's what the Virginia Public Health

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Office release.

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>We were screaming at the TV watching the representator from

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Health Department do an interview yesterday. We couldn't figure out.

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>We didn't understand they're monitoring a person. He literally said, yeah,

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>we call, we text them, check in every day.

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.640
<v Speaker 3>And he's not isolating. Yeah, so I was concerning.

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, they didn't ask and they didn't get a claranza

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>here robes on. Is this person allowed to just go

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>walk around with the general population until they have symptoms?

0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 3>That's what it sounded like to me. The person who

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.079
<v Speaker 3>was the representative of the Virginia Office of Public Health

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 3>was a physician and said that until a patient or

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 3>a person starts exhibiting symptoms of the Haunt of virus,

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 3>which is I guess a flu like symptoms, they're not contagious.

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>But that's really alarming, because where are you going to

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 3>be when you start developing symptoms if you should or

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 3>would eventually develop symptoms. I'm just going to have my

0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 3>first knees.

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Where for babe, that's not an exact science. The symptom,

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 1>is it a slight headache that I am now contagious

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 1>or not until I have a full headache and a

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>running nose and aches?

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 2>How extreme do the symptoms need to be? Can it

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 2>come on?

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Can I be contagious like ten minutes before the symptoms

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>come too?

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 2>That's too fine a line. Ro hoops.

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 3>I Actually we were shocked. Our jaws dropped when we

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 3>heard that the person who was on this ship, who

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 3>was on the ship after someone already died on the

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>ship from a virus, a deadly virus that passes from

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 3>human to human, is allowed to freely walk around Virginia

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 3>until they developed symptoms.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>It sounded like it maybe maybe this person is voluntarily

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>staying at home.

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that's the case.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.720
<v Speaker 1>But he did not make it sound like they were

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>making sure this person was not out.

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 3>They call them, they text.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>He literally said, we text and check in every day

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>just to see how they're doing.

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 2>God.

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 3>He did say that this person takes their temperature twice

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 3>a day.

0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, I.

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Think he also didn't say that person was very much

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>wanting to stay in touch with them as well.

0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Obviously that person's very concerned. I'm sure it is probably

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 3>taking their temperature ten times a day, because you know

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 3>you would be if you had been on that ship. Texas,

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 3>two individuals who were on this ship are now being monitored.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 3>They didn't have contact with a sick person and are

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.560
<v Speaker 3>not currently reporting symptoms. So that's what we got from Texas.

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 3>Georgia has two residents also under observation. They say that

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 3>neither has shown any symptoms. In Arizona there is one

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.840
<v Speaker 3>person being monitored who was also asymptomatic, and in California

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 3>this is another. They're very vague. They are monitoring what

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 3>they have described as an undisclosed number of people, but

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 3>no information suggests they are ill or infected.

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Why would they say that.

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't know why they won't give

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 3>us a number.

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>That is that their wording, that's their warding.

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 3>They just said residents. They just had al so there

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>was no number associated with it. I don't know why

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 3>there's been no follow up or any specification as to

0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 3>how long or how many.

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>The story keeps.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>You and I said, it robes if if we hear

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that someone is in New York, it ups the conversation

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but really we know what that was like. No,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>not just us, he's living here. Yes, we went through

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 1>this thing, but the country watched us be an epicenter

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of something.

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Because of how we live. We are on top of

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>each other.

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Shared airspace in apartment buildings, and yes, so it's a

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 3>completely different situation if you've got one of these folks

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 3>coming back to an urban area. Yeah, it was a

0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 3>dense urban area.

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 1>We hear about somebody being monitored in New York. You say,

0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 1>on top of each other. I think how many times

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.160
<v Speaker 1>in my life growing up I had to get on

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:55.160
<v Speaker 1>an elevator. Seriously, robes, We're on an elevator in an

0:16:55.320 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>enclosed space with someone several times a day. Strangers is

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>uber like. People don't live like that the rest of

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the world. You're on one level. You're not going that's

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>we I just thought about that. We are packed in

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>together constantly in robes. No, COVID scared the hell out

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 1>of us for a long time. We have the handle

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and understand it now, but we don't understand this thing,

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>but we understand numbers robes. We have not in our

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>lifetime dealt with something that kills forty percent of the

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 1>people it infects.

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 3>No, that is frightening.

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>That's movie shit, that is terrifying. So they can tell

0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 1>us all day long, robes at the risk is low,

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>but we are still shell shocked. And I hate using

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>this word, it's overused, but this is triggering.

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it is a lot of us, absolutely all this one.

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's why we want to keep these updates coming.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 1>And they really this is changing almost every hour it is.

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.400
<v Speaker 3>And there are right now. I just want to say,

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 3>in Argentina, right now they are testing rodents in the

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 3>areas of Schwa but also just where this Dutch couple went.

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 3>They really do believe that these were the folks who

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>brought this inadvertently onto this ship. They were on a

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 3>bird watching trip that went through Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 3>so they're trying to retrace this couple's steps to see

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.399
<v Speaker 3>where they went and where they could possibly have picked

0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:30.160
<v Speaker 3>up this deadly strain of this rare virus. So that

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.639
<v Speaker 3>is what's happening right now in Argentina. They are trapping

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.360
<v Speaker 3>and testing rodents in the area to try and make

0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.720
<v Speaker 3>sure this does not go any further than it already has.

0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 3>But we will continue to monitor this rapidly developing story.

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:45.760
<v Speaker 3>As always, we appreciate you listening to us. Everyone, I'm

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Amy Robach alongside TJ. Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
