It sounds like this epidemiologist

1. Confirms this is a new strain of Andes virus "this virus is veeery similar" confirms that its different.
2. Calls the passengers on the boat 'patients' multiple times
3. She never once says the people on the ship 'tested negative for andes virus', only calls them 'asymptomatic' [as do most major news sources]
4. She cites a reason why they need to be taken off the ship as "To limit the person to person contact happening" which doesnt make any sense, how can H2H transmission be occuring if no one on the boat is infected?
5. She says these "patients, i mean people would just be allowed to walk around in the general public"
6. She says "so the passengers can get the support they need", which if you tie that to the 'asymptomatic' insistence suggests some passengers on the ship are in phase 1 of HPS (the prodromal phase) and need to be evacuated off the ship because some of them are about to start rapidly deteriorating.

This still doesnt mean its going to be a pandemic, but I think the weirdness around all of this is because this situation is maybe much more dire and immediate than theyre letting on, but they are downplaying the perception of risk to prevent concern.

I think more people on that ship are infected and have died than theyre letting on, and thats why theyre pushing to get them off the boat NOW to get those people who are asymptomatic but in the prodromal phase and need immediate 'support' for when they deteriorate, and to make sure those who arent infected dont become infected.

Also, where are any videos, pictures, or general evidence theyre alive of the passengers who are on the boat? Not one of them has uploaded a video? Out of ~150 people? I see patches of some people standing around outside, but out of 150 people none of them are live streaming? Arent some of them travel vloggers?

Its being kept secret not because it will because it will cause a pandemic, but because most people would say 'let them die, its not worth the risk'. Thats why theres been all this talk about 'dignity' for the people on board, because if they were all just inside their cabins a little shaken but just 'chilling', why would letting them stay on the ship for another week be disregarding their dignity?

I dont care if I sound 'crazy', maybe im wrong but we'll see. I think this is why theres all this weirdness going on. im literally just sharing whats on the publicly available news and talking about it, I know thats 'dangerous' and 'conspiratorial thinking' and 'fear mongering' or whatever other thought canceling notions that get ascribed these days to make that seem wrong.

I predict that there are at least 35 sick people on that ship from both the passengers and the crew and maybe 12 dead
