Passengers on the MV Hondius are now living in isolation. The World Health Organization confirmed an outbreak of the Andes virus. Eleven cases have been reported so far. Three people have died on the luxury vessel. This hantavirus variant allows human-to-human transmission through close contact. American passengers are quarantined at a unit in Omaha, Nebraska. They spend their days with one bed and one exercise bike. Stephanie Rist, the French Health Minister, says one passenger is deteriorating. The ship is currently en route to Rotterdam. This is the physical breaching of the biological velvet rope. The elite’s floating fortresses have become biocontainment traps. We are seeing the gating of physiological health. The wealthy cannot buy their way out of a metabolic collapse. The virus does not recognize class boundaries.
