The ship’s doctor is sick, confirming human to human contraction, and the second person who died flew out sick on a commercial plane, deteriorated rapidly at the airport in Johannesburg before she died, so this is fine and not feeling like déjà vu at all.

@stopthatgirl7@famichiki.jp Yeah total déjà vu, and unfortunately many of the same leaders who failed miserably during COVID are still in office.
