JTG MINI: What the hell is going on with the Hantavirus outbreak?

Three people are dead, more passengers have been diagnosed, and British paratroopers had to parachute medical supplies onto the most remote inhabited island on earth. The Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius is finally on its way home to be disinfected, but the hantavirus outbreak on board has scattered suspected cases across more than a dozen countries. So is this the next covid? And how is it the same virus that killed Gene Hackman's wife last year?
