Good - they are recommending respirators.
Can't seem to bring themselves to recommend the same for covid, though.
Recommending a precautionary approach?
That would be NOT disembarking passengers.
We appear to all have parts in the film "Idiocracy"

Also, I think this could be more evidence that the returning passengers should spend their quarantine under observation in the military medical center, as opposed to home monitoring

Testing positive without symptoms brings up a number of questions
Is this an asymptomatic case or someone that hasn’t developed symptoms yet but is already shedding virus and this was picked up because of daily testing
And what does this mean for the possibility of transmission without symptoms - pre or asymptomatic transmission

Lesson from Covid… by the time you realize that you need mandatory quarantines and mass testing… it’s too late for those measures to be fully effective.
Waiting until people become symptomatic to test/ isolate is a bandaid on a hemorrhage.
BREAKING: One of the 17 American passengers evacuated from a cruise ship in the Canary Islands has tested positive for the hantavirus but is not showing any symptoms, U.S. health officials said. apnews.com/article/hantaviru…

I'm gonna die on this hill: Chronic absenteeism will improve if schools normalized staying home while contagious instead of rewarding perfect attendance

Yes. The public has been conditioned AWAY from science since 2019... dramatically so, in many areas. This will become profoundly problematic when we all need to work together... relying on scientific measurements and data as our focal point.😵💫🤦🏼♀️

The ones who fought for pandemic preparedness before Covid, were disregarded until moments before Covid was declared a pandemic.
Those people have given up and retired; those who ignored the pandemic pushed themselves into leadership positions.

They probably went home by bus, tram, metro 🙄... Because we do self-isolation at home with all familymembers cosy at home. Just 1,5 mtr distance, probably no N95 masks or HEPA ventilation at home. And partners and kids are going to work and school tomorrow. No worries! 🤫

the "quarantine" imposed on (potentially) infected people in the Netherlands is also not enforced/checked by anyone, allows for the people to still go outside, and there's no quarantine imposed on housemates.

What do you mean by procedural errors? Like they didn’t wear ppe I’m assuming?
Ever since covid has rotted peoples brains a lot of hcws who used to follow ppe rules correctly before the pandemic have stopped unfortunately
Reading about hantavirus and how there is an argument about PPE and what is needed.
How about, we go for the “better safe than sorry approach” from now on?
If I was on that ship or near someone getting off it, I would want full on ET HAZMAT tunnels set up.

Well we all know what’s going to happen next, don’t we @1goodtern@brownecfm? UK government is going to be all compassionate and let them dock here, but the people transporting them and treating them will have the same lackadaisical IPC as during Covid.
Covid Twitter - is there a bona fide flu outbreak these past few weeks or just in my friendship group? Would have called it as maybe Covid or something else only one of the group ended up in hospital and actually was tested for the flu. Seems a bit late in the year, no?
