The coronavirus pandemic's impact lingers, influencing our lives in both obvious and subtle ways. Work-from-home jobs, mask-wearing and hand sanitizers are now common.

By Jennifer Rigby LONDON, May 15 (Reuters) - A rodent-borne virus with a scary name. A mid-ocean cruise ship in quarantine. Several people dead and more falling sick. It is no wonder that an outbreak of the Andes strain of hantavirus on a luxury liner in the Atlantic has revived some COVID-era trauma and panic online.

Cruise ships are back in the spotlight after a deadly hantavirus outbreak, but experts say the risk to travelers is low.

Dr. Brian Christine, a former Alabama-based urologist, was appointed as assistant health secretary last fall.

Hantavirus is circulating on social media, reigniting health fears for students who survived lockdown during COVID-19.

Hantavirus has a much longer incubation period, with the Andes strain having incubated as long as 42 days. That increases the amount of time people who may have been exposed to the virus need to monitor for symptoms.

The MV Hondius was the epicenter of the first-ever deadly outbreak of hantavirus aboard a modern cruise ship. Was this a freak occurrence, or a sign of things to come?
