Hantavirus: what to know

We had about twenty virus predictions in 2025 & 6, some focused on May, that there would be an outbreak, although some may have been about measles which has also been spreading;  and now this strain of the Hantavirus is in the news, one that is transmissable human to human.  But it can take up to 45 days to show symptoms and has a high fatality rate.

I am not posting this to spread panic. So far, this strain (Andes Virus) does not transmit easily and only in close human to human contact.  

It's good to stay informed, though, so this thread is for verifiable news and data about this virus. Here is what I found so far and DO CORRECT ANYTHING that is wrong:

https://www.instagram.com/reels/DU8qePgjxy1/

A hantavirus outbreak linked to the expedition cruise ship MV Hondius has caused three deaths and several confirmed or suspected illnesses. The ship had been traveling from Ushuaia, Argentina, through the South Atlantic. WHO was notified on May 2; its May 4 update reported seven cases total: two lab-confirmed and five suspected, including three deaths. Later reporting says at least five people from the ship have tested positive for Andes virus, a South American hantavirus strain.

The most important point: this is not COVID-like transmission. WHO says hantavirus is usually acquired from infected rodents’ urine, droppings, or saliva, often through contaminated dust or surfaces. However, WHO also confirms that limited person-to-person transmission has been reported with Andes virus, especially among people with close and prolonged contact, such as household members, cabin mates, caregivers, or healthcare workers.

WHO currently assesses the risk to the global population as low, while continuing to monitor the situation. WHO advises active symptom monitoring for 45 days, prompt isolation of anyone with symptoms, hand hygiene, ship sanitation, avoiding dry sweeping, ventilation, and medical masks for symptomatic people with respiratory symptoms.

The concern is that 29 to about 40 passengers disembarked at St. Helena on April 24 before contact tracing was completed, and some returned to multiple countries. Health authorities are now tracing contacts across several continents. A flight crew member in Amsterdam who had contact with an infected passenger is reportedly being tested and isolated; if positive, she could be the first known infection in this outbreak among someone who was not on the ship.

Symptoms can begin one to eight weeks after exposure and may include fever, chills, muscle aches, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms, and then sudden respiratory distress. WHO says there is no approved specific antiviral treatment for hantavirus pulmonary syndrome; care is mainly urgent supportive care, often ICU-level if severe.

@jeanne-mayell 

Thank you! This is so helpful in being able to focus positive Energy toward the situation, both current and future outcomes.

Remember folks,

ACKNOWLEDGE fear - ignorance gets us nowhere

TRANSMUTE that fear - Energy is neutral, it's what you do with it that makes it negative or positive.

RECLAIM - the now neutral energy and 

RECHARGE - the energy with healing, Light, Trust, any POSITIVE vibration

USE - spend a few minutes in meditation sending RECHARGED Energy to any and all involved in this hanta virus situation—or any other situation that still has time to be even minimally mitigated.

Be the Light. At the very least, reinforce LIGHT rather than fear. Who knows? It may be your small but powerful thought—as it joins with other small but powerful thoughts—that brings in the resolution that modifies or mitigates this or any other darkness attempting to minimize us.

As Amanda Gorman told us back in 2021:

"There is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it." The Hill We Climb, inaugural poem

For this new crisis, and of course, for all the other dark and scary stuff we are currently facing, feeling, and fighting: Acknowledge. Transmute. Reclaim. Recharge. USE.

Don't give your energy away, USE IT!

❤️

@tesseract Yes, it is a good time (early on) to focus on positive energy.  See you and your loved ones and everyone safe and healthy, and authorities (WHO, CDC)  giving us successful protection, should we need it.

@lowtide ❤️ 

I've been stuck in a huge decluttering project.(30+ years in one home) & a 76 yr old body I am strongly(!) encouraging to feel better when it just wants to be creaky and cranky. 🤣 

Like all of us, i am fighting the doomscroll and doing my best to walk what I talk.

The link below is one of my favorite "listen and perk up" songs. It makes me want to dance. The body is recalcitrant so I chair dance instead. 🤣

Music helps me transmute the miasma of dark, gather my energy, and BE LIGHT not only for myself, but to honor the intention of, and Trust in, Light's illumination.

And the second one helps me let go and sleep, even with the crazy energies from the cosmos and the dark's last ditch and failing attempts to dull our Lights.

@lowtide, you made my day & it was a doctor day 🤯

From @lovendures:  What Countries Are Linked to the Hantavirus Outbreak?
Authorities around the world are scrambling to trace who may have been exposed to curb the spread of the deadly virus. https://time.com/article/2026/05/07/countries-hantavirus-hondius-cruise-ship/

I know we had a discussion after the February 2026 rtf where we stated on zoom we felt there would be a viral outbreak which was concerning.

There is a reference to the numbers in this article.

17 people from the ship are now in the US and AZ is a state where one/ some are being monitored.
I don’t sense a Covid type of pandemic but I do sense we will be playing catch up for awhile.
You will be seeing more people wearing masks too.

Here are our virus predictions for late 2025 and especially 2026. Those posted for September 2025 could have been about the measles because measles outbreaks were in the news then. But the Hantavirus was spreading in Argentina then as well:

Hantavirus

  • A group of small rodents are running on the ground. Hantavirus or something similar is in the news. (Seaholly). Predicted March 2026 for April 2026.
  • Another pandemic is starting to become likely. (Baba) Predicted February 2026 for May 2026.
  • There is a new virus that is very contagious.  The CDC tries to suppress the news.  (Bluebelle) [this could be referring to measles]. Predicted February 2026 for May 2026.
  • A virus is spreading across the country. It can be deadly if not treated. People are not getting the required vaccines. (SeaLion) Predicted February 2026 for May [Also is likely about the measles since there are no vaccines for hantavirus.]
  • Hantavirus in the news. (Tonya W). Predicted July 2025 for September 2025.
  • I had a dream a few weeks before the hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship hit the news.  In the dream I was looking for mice on the floor of my bedroom, then I saw it was a giant rat, but later it turned out to be the size of a groundhog, which was very large and vivid (a sign that what I’m seeing is referring to a real issue.).(Jeanne Mayell) Predicted April 2026.
  • There is another virus/illness circulating and the US is unprepared. (Bluebelle) Predicted 1/21/26 for June 2026.
  • Murmurings about a potential new virus. (Momo).  Predicted April 2026 for July 2026.
  • There is a virus circulating more. It may be COVID or something new. (CC21). Predicted July 2025 for May 2026.
  • New virus study in Denmark. (Andrew Posey) Predicted January 2026 for October 2026.
  • New virus in the news. (Teri) Predicted Jan 2025 for Sept 2025
  • There is a holding steady of flu-like illnesses, including bird flu. No dramatic increases. (CC21)  Predicted March 2025 for 2025
  • There is a focus on hospital care this month and a concern there will not be enough staff or supplies in the future. (Jeanne Mayell)  Predicted March 2025 for March 2026.  This could be hantavirus, in which case, the dates would be closer to June 2026.
  • A respiratory virus in the news. (Teri)   Predicted March 2025 for March 2025

Other virus’s in the news (possibly Measles, since there have been Measles outbreaks in the U.S.:

  • March/April 2025: Bird flu and normal flu are flourishing due to a lack of preparation and organization. Once again T’s inability to care about the harm a pandemic cause, along with RFK Jr.’s incompetence, increases unnecessary loss of life which enrages the populace.  (Tesseract)   Predicted March 2025 for March 2025
  • I see a round shape with lots of spikey points on the outside.  This could be spikey protein in a virus. News about a virus.  (Lovendures) Predicted Jan 2025 for Sept 2025
  • March/April 2025: Bird flu and normal flu are flourishing due to a lack of preparation and organization. Once again T’s inability to care about the harm a pandemic causes along with RFK Jr.’s incompetence, increases unnecessary loss of life which enrages the populace.  (Tesseract) Predicted March 2025 for March 2025
  • Many getting sick from flu virus that isn’t being properly handled. (Earthangel). Predicted July 2025 for September 2026.
  • Someone else steps in to handle the health crisis after some in the White House contract the flu virus and have no protection. out T administrators and others who are in the building.  (Earthangel) Predicted July 2025 for October 2025.

Also from @Lovendures: The thread above is informative and speaks of how WHO is literally writing from scratch how they will be handling the disembarkation of the cruise ship passengers and follow up care. They have 3 days to do so before the ship docks. Never has there been this type of contact tracing for this disease. Never has it been on a cruise ship or on close confinement for days. It is a new playbook.

I have no reason to believe the story being disseminated about this virus, based on everything we learned from covid.  6 weeks is a long time to infect others.  No therapies or vaccines,  and yet we are safe and there is no risk of pandemic.  I call BS.

@jovesta In my gut, I am concerned about it. They think it doesn't mutate easily, which is good.  And it doesn't transmit easily except for very close contact, but if it does transmit to another perosn, the fatality rates I've read are between 30 and 50%.
