This video blurs the line between public health education and speculative alarmism by framing a hypothetical future outbreak as an imminent threat. It is a textbook example of using scientific data to fuel unnecessary social anxiety rather than providing actionable clarity.

Americans Are Not Ready For Hanta Virus.Added:
Are we doing the pandemic thing again?
Because there's an outbreak of haunt virus on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Dear white people, let me even first close the door. Wait, cuz I genuinely don't even want my neighbors to be in this conversation.
Dear white people, please keep this virus to yourselves.
Please, I beg of you in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And also let us stop putting the narrative out there that diseases come from China and Africa.
I need to calm down. By the way, I actually need to calm down because I just figured out there's something very sinister on the internet and it's kind of like building up quickly and it's putting people in a frenzy. Ladies and gentlemen, we're still dealing with the war in Iran. Fuel prices are so expensive. Spirit Airlines has shut down. 17,000 people have lost their jobs.
not to hunt a virus right now. Are we doing the pandemic thing again? Because there is an outbreak of haunt virus on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Three passengers have already lost their lives on this ship right here and one is an intensive care in South Africa. What is havirus and why should we be concerned? Hont virus is a very rare but very serious respiratory disease often caused by contact with rodent feces or urine. Now there are two subtypes of this virus. One is more severe than the other. The less severe version has a 10% mortality rate while the other has mortality rates exceeding 30%. With haunt virus, symptoms can take weeks to appear. So the World Health Organization is working closely with the cruise ship as well as with authorities in South Africa on how best to handle this situation because they really don't know what to do with the other passengers who are showing symptoms at this time and what to do with the remaining passengers on board. This is definitely a situation that is worth paying attention to, but not necessarily panicking just yet. Again, hunter virus is incredibly rare and it's usually caused from rodent feces or urine contact, but it can spread human to human. Three people have died after a suspected hivirus outbreak on a cruise ship. Here's what we know and what we don't know so far. The MV Honda cruise ship was traveling from Argentina to Cape Verde with about 150 passengers on board. The first person to show symptoms was a 70-year-old passenger who died on arrival to the island of St. Helina. His 69-year-old wife also became ill on board and was evacuated to South Africa where she died in a Johannesburg hospital. A third Dutch person has also died and repatriation efforts are underway. A British national is in intensive care in Johannesburg. Now, the cruise ship operator says two crew members require urgent medical help but have not been allowed to get off the boat for treatment. We still don't know the total number of antivirus cases. The World Health Organization has confirmed one case with five more suspected cases under investigation, but experts have said more cases could emerge as it can take anywhere between 1 to 8 weeks for symptoms to show. We also don't know what caused the outbreak. Hand virus is usually passed to humans from rodents via their feces, saliva, or urine and transmission between people is rare. The cruise ship is currently anchored off the coast of Cape Verde and according to local media, Cape Verde health officials have said no passengers will disembark the ship in order to protect the local population. Now, let's talk about the reason why I'm saying dear white people because I know some of y'all are going to go in the comment section most especially my white community and be like Esther you're trying to be raped.
Never.
All I'm trying to say is so as you have seen there's a hunter virus allegedly that hunter virus it was brought up in 2020 when C19 was also analing people and then they tried actually if YOU REMEMBER THEY TRIED TO jinx it that oh there's a hunter virus it's also starting and people did not give it energy and I remember there's a time they tried like three times to bring up a virus and people did not give it energy That is why it flopped.
And CD19 was successful because we gave it energy.
I hope we are together and you understand what I mean. Ladies and gentlemen, CD19 was successful because we gave it energy. They feed off our energy. When they try to scare us and we get scared, they feed off our fear and they become billionaires. And then after that they will wake up 10 years later and let you know it was man-made somewhere in a laboratory with DJT and his besties the what's his name Bill Gates and they made a lot of money out of it and they forced African countries and Asian countries to take their vaccines and then they started putting a narrative on black people that they are more likely to die because of CDina until they can catch it easily more than white people because apparently now Black people, we have less immune systems that cannot fight the virus. No.
Cut me some slack and stop with the virus immediately. From 2020, fast forward to I don't know which year. And then they tell us this Asian woman who was a wife to a famous actor in Hollywood, she died because of the Hunter virus.
When the hunter virus was starting up, they also told us it's from Chinese people.
Matter of fact, I am so so so so so so angry right now because it's the way they trying to push a narrative all the time. The viruses come from Asia and Africa because now after some time then they told us how CD19 was manufactured and yada yada yada yada yada but in the mean in in the beginning they made this CD19 virus even divide people. If you remember, there's a time where the black community and Asian people were even fighting each other because of a a a virus. Fast forward to 2026, apparently some white people from Argentina, they were coming to the uh Atlantic side of Africa and then the three of them they did out of the blue. They're dead because of this hunter virus. And then uh three of them are fighting for their lives because of hunter virus. And then there's this influencer that's trending and he's saying we people.
>> I am currently on board the MV hobbyist and what's happening right now is very real for all of us here.
There's a lot of uncertainty and that's the hardest part.
All we want right now is to feel safe, to have clarity, and to get home.
>> Who put the virus on that ship? Because they're trying to tell us how this virus out of the blue, it unalived people. Why people? Okay. Is it the white people that eat the rats? Is that what they're trying to say? So, okay. It's okay. That narrative actually works for all of us.
Why people eat rats? Because they say back in in Sydney 19 times they said these viruses come from China because they eat the cats, they eat the dogs, they eat the rats. Okay, we're going to take it that somewhere people at rats in Argentina and then they tried to bring their disease and to the coast of Africa. That's that clearcut period.
That's how I'm going to take it.
Yeah. Matter of fact, it started analying them. I know this is not funny.
It started analying them before they could make their way to Africa.
And as that's not aggravating enough literally it's just like less than 24 hours and then we are hearing that oh a a a white someone a British national who who was on that boat he is being treated in South Africa AND I SAY RIGHT NOW IS NOT THE RIGHT TIME FOR SOUTH AFRICANS TO TAKE ON SOME BS because South African people are busy kicking away their brothers and sisters FROM DIFFERENT NATIONAL YOU CANNOT TELL ME THEY CAN LET IN A WHITE man from the UK with the hunter virus to treat him and of which in itself it doesn't exist because they said THEY TRIED TO LAND IN KE ver and then they told him YOU WILL NOT DOCK HERE BECAUSE YOU GOT A VIRUS so they are lazing around somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. SO WHERE IS THE NEWS GETTING the ideation that oh THE BOAT ALREADY REACHED SOUTH Africa and then one white man he did not die but he got off the ship and then he is being treated in South Africa. Meanwhile at THE SAME TIME THEY'RE TELLING US the ship has not landed anywhere. They are stuck somewhere in the waters because no one will let them land. So no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And y'all remember they told us COVID 19 was going to start in South Africa, IN AFRICA. AND THAT IS HOW IT STARTED.
Why people please, not this time around.
Most especially the continent of Africa.
Leave it alone. Leave black people to be okay. Yeah. Now, as if that's not aggravating enough, guess what we just found out? Some white people somewhere, they have a jar that can analy the entire world.
>> This is about all you'd need to kill everyone on the planet. Anthrax. Maybe you've heard of it. No, not the thrash metal band from the 80s. I'm talking about the deadly disease caused by basillus anthrais, one of the most lethal bacteria humans have ever discovered. If you get these spores on your skin, you'll develop black necrotic lesions that devour the surrounding tissue. But if you inhale them into your lungs, the spore toxins can cause massive internal bleeding and then basically you drown in your own blood.
And the kicker, the spores can survive in almost any environment for decades.
During the Cold War, the US and Soviet militaries chose anthrax as the ideal boweapon. They mass-produced aerosolized versions of it to put inside missile warheads. There's even a theory that anthrax may have been one of the 10 plagues of Egypt that were described in the book of Exodus, which helps explain why there was such a panic when people started receiving envelopes full of this stuff shortly after 9/11. Someone was mailing weaponsgrade anthrax through the US postal system and nobody knew why.
Letters started turning up all over the country. Once opened, the envelopes often contaminated entire buildings.
There were infections and there were deaths. And as the fear spread, the FBI was tasked with finding and stopping whoever was doing this. Some of you might remember living through this, but what you don't know is what happened behind the scenes. The false leads, the extraordinary investigative tactics, the double crosses, and the still haunting questions about who was really responsible. To this day, most people have no idea who mailed those letters.
Do you >> execuse them?
Some white people someway. And this is not YouTube. This is nothing against white people, please. And white people that follow me, this is nothing against you. All I'm trying to say is you've watched the video. There are some WHITE PEOPLE OUT HERE IN THEM STREETS HOLDING A JAR ON THE internet saying, "You see this jar? It can wipe out the entire world." Excuse.
You're out here walking around with diseases in a jar that can wipe out the entire world. No. Listen, listen. And white people, please forgive me. And this is why sometimes I always say we always need to remember what white people are capable of. And I know it sounds so bad to generalize white people, but it's just that from the beginning of dawn, y'all know what a white person has done to humanity. And dear white people, right now, it's not that you're supposed to pay for the sins of your ancestors. It's just that there are some worst white people on planet Earth that are sitting with a jar of diseases that can wipe out their entire world right now and they are telling us about it. How they're keeping it somewhere. And you want to tell us we should wake up and believe there's a disease that woke up one day and they even found a name for it out of the blue and it's coming from rats. Meanwhile, they have a jar of diseases that can wipe out the entire world. How Am I yelling? Are my neighbors hearing me? I need to stop being dramatic. I'm just angry. I'm shocked. I am shocked.
Ladies and gentlemen, THEY ARE ABOUT THEY ARE ABOUT TO PUT US INTO A pandemic of a hunter virus.
It already has a name and they already discovered it came from rats. I don't know when did they do those tests to find out that the rats have A VIRUS CALLED HUNTER VIRUS, but they know and it has started analing people. And guess what? The news are spreading faster that there's a hunter virus than the news spread when Michael B. Jordan won an Oscar.
Baby, it's less than 24 hours. The Americans know, the Brits know, the Africans know, the Asians know there's a virus and it came from the rats from China and there's someone in Africa who has it is being treated in the hospital. Why did that white man not be taken back to Argentina?
I have headache, guys.
Not today.
Not today.
There's enough that we need to worry about than a virus right now.
Not today. Nothing has aggravated me about this entire virus that there's a white man that's being treated in South Africa. You want to say South Africa welcomed a white man with a deadly disease like that in their country.
We start with breaking news this evening and that is that South Africa's health department says a British tourist is being treated in hospital after a suspected hivirus outbreak on board a cruise ship. Three people are known to have died on board the vessel. The British man is said to have fallen ill while the ship was traveling from St. Helina to Accession Island. His laboratory test results came back positive for Hanto virus. Well, the foreign office has just released a statement saying, "We are closely monitoring reports of a potential hivirus outbreak on the cruise ship Hondas and stand ready to support British nationals if needed." We have a big update regarding the cruise ship with the Hivirus update in the Atlantic Ocean this morning. According to NBC News, it has been denied refused permission to dock. There are 149 people currently on board the cruise ship. Two of them are seriously ill with the deadly virus. The virus has already killed three people, sickened three more, and one patient is currently hospitalized in critical condition.
According to the World Health Organization, the ship tried to dock at the port in Cape Verie, which rejected it as a precautionary method. And now the cruise operator is saying that the ship may actually sail to the Canary Islands instead to dock. It remains to be seen whether it actually happens.
Now, there are six cases of hunter virus. One is confirmed, five are suspected. The one that's suspected is a British national currently in Johannesburg. According to NBC News, the World Health Organization is stressing there is no need to be alarmed that that there is no real threat to the general public and that the wider public any threat remains low.
>> This is actually so crazy. I had no idea what haunt virus was up until Betsy Arakawa's death and I didn't realize you could get it really easily if you're dealing with mouse feces. This is Debbie Zaparian and she shared her story because she went through it and it's crazy. Debbie had lived on a ranch in 2011 and she was cleaning out her shed and said she vividly remembers the putrid smell of rodent excrement and urine. Week after cleaning that shed, she said she became uncharacteristically tired. She felt confused and ordinary day-to-day chores like feeding horses became impossible. A few days later, pain erupted in her back and shoulders and soon she could no longer tolerate sounds or light. At first, her family thought she had the flu, but she became desperately ill that she was airlifted to the hospital. Doctors told her she must have inhaled haunt virus contaminated feces while cleaning out her shed, and she told them how at times her face had been practically right next to mouse droppings while she cleaned out the out building where she was feeding a stray cat. In Betsy Arakawa's situation, they say that there were rodent droppings found in their garage and outouses. Now, Debbie had gone to the hospital multiple times, and she said the third time she went, she was having a manic episode. I was told I was pretty crazy, out of control, I couldn't stand sounds, I had blankets over my hands, I was freaking out at things, and my husband took me to the hospital that night. Apparently, when she got to the hospital, she was told she was acting like a bobcat, and nurses had to use straps to tie her to the bed. It got a lot worse because she was not only hallucinating, but the virus caused widespread inflammation throughout her body affecting her brain. Her heart stopped twice and she had to be resuscitated. Was also intubated, placed on a ventilator, and put into a week-long coma to allow her body to recover. When the infection had cleared, it took Debbie about a year to walk and talk again. But even now, 14 years on, she still suffers from lingering symptoms, including neuropathy, pain in the nerves, that she describes as unimaginable. She also says that this left her with a brain injury that causes her day-to-day difficulties, and says she will start throwing up if she tries to do the vacuuming and sweeping on the same day. Talks about this to bring awareness and warns that it just takes one mouse, and it doesn't have to be a whole bunch of mouse feces. It can just be one. And she says if you ever see any, don't go near it. Just spray it with bleach.
>> Yay. Yay. You're still looking at the Corona virus. Yo. Yo. Yo, guys. There's a new one. There's a new one called Hunter virus.
>> Hunter virus is a virus transmitted mainly from rodents to humans.
>> It's the same rare disease that is blamed on the death of Betsy Arakawa, the wife of late actor Gene Hackman last year. Dr. Dr. Kavita Patel says symptoms can take days to appear.
>> It first manifests with like a cough or shortness of breath or something that's pulmonary, sometimes a fast heart rate, often with a fever and as the virus kind of gets attack of the body. You can see other symptoms including sepsis.
>> The World Health Organization says that while rare, haunt virus may spread between people. What we know about the virus spreading on a cruise ship in the Atlantic where three people have died.
It's called Hanta virus. It's spread via rodents but occasionally can go from human to human according to the World Health Organization.
So the WHO says one case of antivirus has been confirmed on the ship and there are five additional suspected cases so far. One person's currently in intensive care in South Africa. So people with symptoms are being evacuated uh while the rest are stuck on board it seems. Imagine what it's like to be there. So antiviruses are spread by rodent urine or feces and it causes severe breathing difficulty. A very nasty disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are two versions. HPS where more than a third of patients may end up dying and symptoms take weeks to appear. They include fatigue, fever, muscle aches. Another version, HFRS, has about a 10% fatality rate. Symptoms there include headaches, dizziness, chills, and abdominal problems.
>> I would be worried because the incubation period for HANA virus can be up to a week. Can be very deadly. Um it can either take the form of um a pulmonary disease so it affects your lungs and your breathing or it can be a hemorrhagic disease affects your renal function your kidney function. Both can be you know extraordinarily um serious.
It's not easily spread from person to person. The mode of transmission is really through exposure to the rodent droppings or their urine or those droppings can be disturbed and they go in the air and you can breathe it in and get it. It's something that um you know everyone um uh who's in the area of a rat dropping could be um could be exposed. The symptoms are um depending upon what form you've got the the the renal form or the pulmonary form. But if it's the pulmonary, it's you know difficulty breathing for both fatigue, headache. It is a very dangerous situation for cruise ship passengers. I would be worried because the incubation period for haunt virus can be up to a week. It's possible that more cases um will arise and it's uncertain at this stage what you know preventive and precaution measures the cruise ship um uh undertook. There's no antiviral or you know so-called cure um but you need really intense management of the disease um and so you have to to to get somebody into really intensive care quite quickly. This is something that really shouldn't happen on a on a on a properly sanitized and and hygienic ship.
>> The South African Health Department has said to be currently treating a British tourist who was on a cruise ship where three people have died because of a suspected Hunter virus outbreak and he's being treated in South Africa.
They're traveling from St. in Helena to accession island and um a potential outbreak but he's being treated in South Africa.
Why in South Africa?
Yes, because we welcome uh people health department but worried.
>> Maybe I'm just being naive but I don't think the ha virus is going to be as bad as people are saying it will be. If you don't know, there's a boat in the Atlantic Ocean right now that is suffering from the Hanta virus, which is some virus that you get from inhaling uh droplets of like rodent urine or whatnot. And it's deadly. And it's like a basically a worse version of CO with no known cure. And it is deadly, but it's bad. It killed six people, I think, so far. But I hope I pray I don't think it's going to be this big thing that's taking over the country and shutting us down again if it gets back to the mainland. Because one, we're more prepared now for this than ever after CO and everything happens. So even if it did shut us down for a little bit, it would just kind of be like, "All right, lock in for a little bit and hopefully it'll take care of it." But this is one of those things where it's like the Ebola virus never got to America, you know, that kind of thing. Or even if it did, it never really took over the country like CO did. I don't think that the rodent droppings, the plague basically are going to come back because I think that people are smart and this time they'll know like, hey, if my friend has this deadly disease, I'm just going to stay away from him. You know, maybe maybe I'm putting too much faith in humanity, but I hope to God that we don't have another lockdown cuz that would be that would be bad.
>> There's a haunt virus outbreak being investigated on a cruise ship right now in the middle of the Atlantic. The World Health Organization says six people have been affected. Three have died and the source still hasn't been identified yet.
So, we'll keep an eye on that one. But it made me think of one of the most interesting hauntus outbreaks in recent history. Yusede. In 2012, 10 people developed hauntirus and three died. And when investigators actually dug into it, they traced it back to these specific cabins called signature tent cabins.
What made them different from regular cabins, tent cabins, was this layer of foam insulation built onto the walls between the drywall and the outer canvas. Deer mice were getting inside them, nesting inside that foam. And when investigators trapped rodents in the area and tested them, about 14% came back positive for haunt virus. So these guests were sleeping in the cabins, breathing in the air that was contaminated by rodent dropping and hidden inside the walls around them.
They had no idea the cabins were eventually shut down and torn down completely. And it's a perfect example of how complicated and unexpected these outbreak investigations can get. So you're not looking for an obvious source, and sometimes it's literally in the walls. Here's everything you need to know about the suspected Hanza virus outbreak on an Atlantic cruise ship.
Yes, if you didn't know, that's a thing.
As far as I can see, three people who were board a cruise ship selling the Atlantic Ocean have died of suspected infections of haunt virus, the World Health Organization said on Sunday, referring to a rare family of viruses carried by ro. One case the infection was confirmed in a laboratory organization said in a statement and there are five additional suspected cases. Of the six people infected, three have died and one person was in intensive care in South Africa. But here's the thing. In the Hondias, Hondias, however the [ __ ] you say, which was carrying about 150 passengers from various countries, oped in mainland Antarctica, the Faulland Islands, South Georgia, Nightingale Island, Tristan, St. Helena, Ascension, and Cape Verde.
And as you can see, Emily Abdullah, right, a doctor and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School said that I don't know of any other cases reported on a cruise ship before. He and another expert said possible origins of the virus included rodent droppings on the ship itself or at a location where it had dock keyword given the ship had been in South America. It was also possible that the virus had spread between people saying also this is not a common infection. Okay, but it's even less common to have the human spread raised as a possibility. Six people sick on a cruise ship. I've never heard of that from this kind of infection. Feel like I'm having deja vu. But as you can see, one of the patients, a 70-year-old male passenger, became ill and was experiencing a fever, headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. That passenger, like it says here, unfortunately, died on arrival in St. Helina Island. The victim's 69year-old wife, also became ill on board and collapsed at the O Tambo International Airport in South Africa while trying to fly home to the Netherlands. She was taken to a health facility where she died. Another patient was a British national who became ill while the ship was traveling from St. Helita to Ascension Island and was transferred from a hospital in Ascension to a private South African health facility in Sandon. His laboratory test results came back positive for haunt virus. Anyways, I hope everybody has a [ __ ] fantastic day. Welcome to the middle of 2026, people.
>> Breaking news and it's not the giant zit on my forehead. At least three people have lost their life to haunt virus and three more people are sick. They're stuck on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean. They've been refused the ability to dock due to this. So, what is haunt virus? Why haven't you heard of it before? And do you need to worry? Hana virus is something that is carried in rodent urine and feal matter. So on hope you're eating. It's transmitted often through contaminated air. So like air conditioning systems and ducks. It is extremely rare. There's been only like 900 cases in the US in the last 30 years. But the problem is the respiratory form of this illness has a 38% fatality rate. And there's no treatment. It's just supportive measures and prayers. These people seem to have been on a cruise of a lifetime traveling through Antarctica and back around that area looking at wildlife. And a married couple at some point contracted the illness and has perished along with third person. What you need to know is that there's not easy transmission between people, meaning that once somebody gets it, they're not easily going to spread it to somebody else. In fact, in North America, there have been zero persontoperson transmissions noted.
But that doesn't mean it's impossible.
It's just really, really uncommon. So, the take-home here is this is no cause for alarm. It's just really sad. I'll keep you updated as we learn more and so keep on following and let me know if you have comments and questions.
