WEBVTT - Two Americans Get Sick on Flight Home From Hantavirus Ship

0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that folks. It is Monday, May eleventh, and they

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>are here. Seventeen Americans who were aboard that stricken hantavirus

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>cruise ship just landed back in the United States, and

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>two of them got sick on the flight home. With that,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. Robes. Let's

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>start with that. Seventeen Americans came back on a flight

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>essentially chartered by the United States and on the way

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>back to got sick. And one of them, we know

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Robes at this point, has the virus.

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and I believe they were evaluated as displaying symptoms

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>before they got on board that flight. So those two

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>actually were transported in the planes bio containment units and

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 2>one of them, yes, tested positive. The other one they

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>suspect is positive is displaying symptoms. So while everyone this

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>is a special plane that the United States brought these

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 2>seventeen passengers back into this facility that they'll be at

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 2>for a while in Nebraska. But yes, those two passengers,

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, before any of these flights came

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>to repatriot all of these citizens aboard this plane, the

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.039
<v Speaker 2>cruise ship was saying up until the very last moment,

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 2>no one is displaying symptoms.

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>And yet here we are.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Here, we are with the Americans, and we also have

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a situation with the French.

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so let's get you all caught up. You've been

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>watching the news over the weekend. Hantavirus ship was able

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to make it to the Canary Islands and everybody was

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>able to get off. They did them in small groups.

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>They did it very carefully. But Robes, there were citizens

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>from how many countries again, twenty twenty three, so they

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 1>had to get everybody off, just small groups at a time.

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>They essentially handed them back over to their own countries

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and they have to follow their own protocols. So that's

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>what happened. So now this plane of Americans took off,

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>it just landed. We watched it happen live here about

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>two three in the morning, and they're in Nebraska. But

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>ro So that's the latest, and we'll talk more about

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the Americans. But what are our numbers now, I know

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>you were struggling to try to piece it together. I

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>was struggling to piece it together. But the official numbers, now, well,

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this ship.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, because news agencies and a lot of folks are sleeping,

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>they haven't come up with a consensus. But I did

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the math and I believe we now have twelve confirmed

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 2>slash suspected cases of hantavirus, and I can go over

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>what those are. Obviously, we had the three debts and

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>we had the five suspected cases, so.

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 3>We had eight for a very long time.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Now there is a situation in Spain which would be

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the ninth confirmed case. She is a thirty two year

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>old woman who shared the plane with a positive cruise

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>ship passenger now is showing symptoms and they believe she

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 2>may have the haunt of virus.

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's number nine.

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>And then of course we've got the confirmed US passenger,

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the suspected US passenger, and then now a French passenger,

0:02:58.800 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>so that would be twelve.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Is that two French you mentioned and that last group?

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Was that two French you mentioned in that last group, No.

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>There was a Spanish woman who was There was a

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Spanish woman aboard a plane, and then the French passenger

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 2>who was evacuated from the cruise ship. That was the

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 2>passenger who passed the test whatever the testing phase was,

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>got on the plane with five other French citizens and

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:30.839
<v Speaker 2>while she was on the plane got sick and then deteriorated.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 3>And then tested positive.

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>So yes, now all those other folks who are on

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the plane with her are in strict isolation until further notice.

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's the scary part of this thing. Robes a woman,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>as a matter of passing a test and being able

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to get aboard this flight in a matter of hours hours,

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>becomes ill and I guess symptomatic, and I guess contagious

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>at that point. Now I assume we're reading up this morning.

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>They separate them in some kind of way. They're not

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>on top of each other on these planes.

0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>No, they're not sitting next to each other and coach seats. Now,

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>these are a lot of these planes. At least we

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 2>know that the US one was specialized to actually transport

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:11.119
<v Speaker 2>folks who had potentially highly contagious diseases. So a lot

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 2>of these planes or facilitating they're capable of creating isolated areas.

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>So let's hope that this French woman that I'm sure

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>they all had masks.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 3>If you saw any of the.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Video, any of the images of anyone receiving passengers, people

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 2>look like they were in full bio hazmat suits. I mean,

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>all precautions were being taken and even the US has

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>said the two folks who were transported in those bio

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>containment areas, they said that they did this out of quote,

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>an abundance of caution. And we keep hearing that from

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 2>health officials that this the risk to any member of

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the public is extremely low, that we're not going to

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>be looking at a pandemic, that that's not how this

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 2>particular virus operates. But obviously all of us are still

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 2>shell shocked from six years ago, and we are kind

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of well skeptically awaiting what happens next.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter how many times how many doctors we

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>get on television saying there's nothing to worry about. It

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't sit right with us because we were told

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 1>once before there was nothing to worry about. We get it.

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>This is a different virus that's been around for a while,

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>and they've got some baseline information on it. Fine, but

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 1>still robes. Now, folks are going to be waking up

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>this morning to that news that the Americans who were

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>coming over, seventeen of them that we were told were

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>okay by the time the damn thing lands, we're told

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>two of them might not be okay. All right, So

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 1>what happens. Now the reason. First of all, they went

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>to Nebraska. This is quite possibly the best facility in

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the world for this type of thing.

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's funny. I would never have thought Nebraska. And

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>then I thought, actually, that makes a lot of sense. A.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>The facility is there, but you probably don't want it

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 2>near a major urban area if you're planning on where

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 2>to house something like this. So this is called the

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>ASPR Regional Emerging Special Pathogen Treatment Center, or it's funny

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>riesp TC. So that's all I could think of when

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I saw the acronym.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>So, yeah, we needed a lighter moment throughout this. Thank

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you for that.

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 3>If you see it, when you read it, it looks

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 3>like ariesp TC.

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, the passenger who tested positive will go to

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the Nebraska I guess is now going to the Nebraska

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>bio Containment Unit upon arrival.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 3>That was in quotes.

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>And then the passenger who has mild symptoms is headed

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>to the National Quarantine Unit for assessment and monitoring. Now,

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I like how basically if you read this just you

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>can see how much Health of Visuals are trying to

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>keep concern at a minimum. They have said that the

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>passenger tested mildly positive. Now I remember from COVID you

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>could get a maybe a stronger line. But like I'm

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 2>laughing at that. Oh okay, sorry, they're only mildly positive.

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you mildly pregnant? That just made me laugh, Like

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 2>somehow they think we're stupid.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the point of that was, are

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 1>they or not? I would just say we have a

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>suspected positive. Why would you say a mild positive.

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't because maybe the number of pathogens that were

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 2>found aren't as high as they could have been if

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>it was a more robust case.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>So you can be kind of pregnant when it comes

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to the ANDES virus.

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but that's what they're saying. And then

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>so they've used mild a lot. They said they mildly

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>tested positive. And then the other passenger has mild symptoms.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not mildly worried at all.

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, In fact, the fact that they keep saying mild

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 2>makes me more.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's the point of that.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, after the rest of the passengers, the other I

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>guess fifteen who aren't exhibiting any mild symptoms or I

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>have no mild positive tests, they can isolate at the

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>unit there in Nebraska, or they can return home where

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>they will be in close contact with health officials for

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the next forty two days, but they will not be

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>forcibly quarantined.

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 3>That is a big headline.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the other fifteen correct, correct? Eric? So once they yeah,

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, did you just say how long are they

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>expected to be this facility?

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>It didn't say Okay, they said they can. I don't

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 2>think for long. I think they just need to be

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>assessed and then they can return home where they have

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to stay in close contact with health officials.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you do, bab.

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>It's everyone's different. And by the way, there is they're

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 2>in New Jersey. There are now two residents being monitored.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 2>This was the development over the weekend as well. Wanted

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>to point this out after they were potentially exposed to

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a cruise passenger with a confirmed case of hantavirus. After

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>that person disembarked, So I don't know where that happens.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Oyah, those who weren't yes, So making clear that other

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>folks in New Jersey were not actually on the ship

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>but apparently came in contact with somebody.

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Who was and who tested positive.

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Who tested positive. So and those folks are not required.

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the part I'm struggling to understand. You're just trusting

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>these folks to stay at home, to stay isolated, to

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>stay on their own. But they are very free to

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>go roam around and pick up vegetables at Whole Foods

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and put them down again. They have free reign to

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>do whatever they want to do out in society.

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 3>To seize on the produce if they want.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Guess that's how it works, and I guess that is

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>what you have to do. It just seems something that

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>kills forty percent of the folks it infects.

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Ye, it seems a little scary.

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes. So we now have six states in this country

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 2>where health officials are monitoring individuals who may have been

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 2>exposed or I guess, who have been exposed to.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 3>People who may have the virus.

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Arizona, California, Georgia, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia are now

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.839
<v Speaker 2>all either monitoring passengers who disembarked or folks who came

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>into contact with those passages.

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:47.839
<v Speaker 1>And I have right, the only positive hantavirus patient connected

0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to that ship is the one who arrived in Nebraska.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else is being monitored.

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I believe that is the case, correct, So this is concerning.

0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Also a little update on that British national because it

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 2>look al a lot of this information that came out

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>was confusing. But he also remains in isolation on a

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>remote island in the South Atlantic, and at first we

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>thought he wasn't on the ship that was initially reported.

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Now they're saying, oh, he was on the ship. So

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 3>I just read this.

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>So British paratroopers now have parachuted in with medical supplies

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and clinicians to try and help him because he is

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>apparently pretty ill. Wow, So now he is stuck there

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 2>in the South Atlantic on this remote island. I mean

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>they parachuted in British paratroopers and clinicians, that's how remote

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 2>this island is to get him help. So he had

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>been a passenger, so that makes more sense. But still

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 2>it's confusing in the stories. It might not even be

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>that the story is changing, but the information perhaps gets

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a little muddled.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 3>And that's scary too.

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 2>When you think about just the communication and just how

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.439
<v Speaker 2>this has all evolved. I'm concerned about the fact that

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>now these passengers after all this time, are just now

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.560
<v Speaker 2>falling ill, which falls in line this up to six

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.599
<v Speaker 2>to eight week incubation period.

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Which doesn't make sense, Babe, when you talk about what

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>we know about, why are they just being allowed to

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>roam free? Go back there? Thing left April first, The

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>first guy got sick April sixth, died April eleventh, Robes,

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>we are talking about a month ago.

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 2>It was May eleventh. Yeah, it's May eleventh today, exactly

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 2>one month ago.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And people are just getting sick. What happened in that month?

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 1>How early were they exposed? How late were they exposed?

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Was his wife still roaming around or was she did

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.880
<v Speaker 1>she settle in somewhere where? What is happening? Robes? A

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>month has gone by, Gary, right, and somebody just got

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 1>sick yep.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>On the plane.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 2>The French woman got sick on the plane and then

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>they said deteriorated overnight. This is somebody who you would

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 2>imagine having been on that cruise ship for literally almost

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a month after the first person died, they, after I

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.640
<v Speaker 2>guess a few weeks, realized what was going on. They've

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 2>been in isolation. They've been adhering your protocols. They've been

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 2>wearing masks, they've been using hand sanitizer and still somehow

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>she got on that plane with hauntavirus, and same with

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the American, we don't know, and then a suspected second American.

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>We don't know if they're related, We don't know if

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 2>they were in the same cabin. We don't know how

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 2>those two possibly even interacted. So there's so many questions.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 2>But when we come back, we will tell you just

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 2>about how many hauntavirus cases are here in the United

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>States each year and how many of them have been fatal.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 2>And welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>TJ where we are monitoring this constantly developing story. And look,

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't risen to the level of I don't think fear,

0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 2>but there is concern when you start to hear, hey,

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 2>no one on the ships had symptoms for weeks. We're

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>all good, We're going to repatriate all of these citizens.

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be careful, we're going to be coordinated,

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to make sure that we contain this.

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>And now we already have reportedly as many as three

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 2>new cases that popped up while people were being sent

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.680
<v Speaker 2>back home, So two of them here in the United States,

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 2>one of them in France, and now a woman in

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Spain possibly with the virus as well, after she was

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 2>exposed on a plane a couple of weeks ago. So

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>this is deeply concerning.

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>These folks know what they're doing. We have to trust

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 1>these doctors when they say this is not like coronavirus.

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Certainly doesn't spread like that. But it's also not a

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 1>brand new thing. We haven't seen or haven't heard it.

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>We have ideas of how to deal with this one,

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and robe you have to trust the But it just

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>they went so hard on telling us how difficult human

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>to human transmission is, and now humans keep popping up

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>with the damn virus and they're all with the place now,

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and now you're telling me they're fifteen folks. You're just

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna let out here in the United States to go

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>back to wherever the hell they're going.

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 3>And hope that they voluntarily isolate.

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And are they being told to do that?

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I think they are telling them that out of an

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 2>abundance of caution, that is what they should go. But

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they have the legal right to tell

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 2>them they have to unless there's some medical reason why.

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I would think that would be something I

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>would be okay with I had a long time though

0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean long time. Forty five days is kind of

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the standard what folks are saying, and it is interesting

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>in other parts of the world. I was looking to

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>see how they're handling and every country is handling it differently.

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I know that we didn't mention this.

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>The ship, what's the ship doing? It actually is keeping.

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I think they'll finally get everyone who needs to get

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>off board off board by today, sometime this afternoon. But

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>after they get that all those passengers off and most

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 2>of the crew off, skeleton crew will stay on board

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>head to the Netherlands. And by the way, the body

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of the passenger is still on board. The German national

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>is still on the ship.

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>So the Dutch couple got off and their respective bodies

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>ended up back in the Netherlands. But there is a

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>German national whose body is still on board that ship.

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And they said that the body will have to be disinfected.

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>They just didn't have the capability of doing it, so

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they have to wait, keep the body there and then

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 2>they'll disinfect the body before they remove the body from

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the ship. I forgot to mention that. I thought that

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was pretty fascinating. In something I had completely forgotten about.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>But look, everyone's different. A lot of folks say they're

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>going to insist on isolation. Some countries are saying you're

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>free to go. So it just depends on country to country.

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 2>But here in the US, we have less than thirty

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>cases of the haunt of virus a year. But it's

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>not the Andes virus. We're just talking about the other

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 2>strain that only can be contracted by ingesting or inhaling

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>mouse or rodent feces or urine. This specific Andes virus,

0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>this human to human spread, we don't have here in

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>this country. There's no rodent that's ever tested positive for

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 2>that strain of the virus ever ever.

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And but it might be here on US soil for

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the first time ever today.

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Look, that's no small thing in medical history. This will

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>get looked at. This This is historic. This might be

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the first time this virus has been ever in the

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 1>United States, ever been detected, ever been known. We talk

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>about that. That's a big deal. Something that was isolated

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>in the part of some part of the world found

0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 1>its way to Nebraska.

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 3>It's really frightening.

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, it is scary, and I know we've talked a

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 2>lot about the death rate of the Andes strain of

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the Haunta virus being at forty or fifty percent, depending

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>on who you ask. But here in the country haunt

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:07.159
<v Speaker 2>the virus cases a third of folks who have contracted

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 2>this disease have died here in this country, And it

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>was interesting. We were talking to my dad who's a microbiologist,

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and his big thing was, hey, look, we yes, there's

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 2>no cure technically, but we can treat it. And if

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 2>you can get early intervention and get the right kind

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 2>of meds to reduce fluids and to be monitored, make

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.400
<v Speaker 2>sure you have enough fluid, but your bodily fluids don't

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>overtake your lungs, et cetera. That you you know most

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 2>likely can pull through. And so he was really he

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.160
<v Speaker 2>made me feel a little bit better saying, look, we

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 2>we can treat it. We can't cure it, we can't

0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 2>save people at a certain point, but we can treat it,

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 2>just like we can treat the flu we can intervene

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 2>in a way that limits the death toll.

0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, I guess it helps to know if somebody comes

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 1>sick that we know to look for haunt a virus
