Title. Apparently there is a cruise ship quarantined right now because of this. And a guy at work was telling me some of the staff escaped? Not sure what exactly is going on but is it cause for concern?

    Not at all. Not even a little bit.

    Human-to-human transmission is extremely rare.

    You get it from mouse shit. It’s significantly more likely that the people who got it were all exposed to the same mouse shit than it is that they gave it to each other.

    You should be way more worried about the mice on that ship coming off and shitting.

    Edit: This strain is a little contagious. Still shouldn’t be concerned.
