How passengers from hantavirus-hit cruise ship are quarantining in U.S.

No visits. No intermingling. Staff with protective gear.

This is the reality at the Nebraska-based National Quarantine Unit for more than a dozen Americans who were on the cruise ship at the center of a hantavirus outbreak and arrived back in the United States early Monday.

Patients can call and videoconference with family and friends, access exercise equipment and watch large TVs, officials said. The rooms’ ventilation system is designed so that the virus cannot leave the room, and it is separated from the rest of the building with HEPA air filters.

U.S. officials on Monday laid out more details on how 18 passengers from the Hondius are quarantining after returning. In Nebraska, there are 16 people: 15 are in the quarantine unit and another, the first American who tested positive for hantavirus while abroad, is in the biocontainment unit. An additional two passengers were sent to an Atlanta biocontainment facility because one of them was showing symptoms, officials said.

Good. I thought Bobby Brainworm was going to try for letting people build up a resistance to the virus.
