Living up to Road Trip part of my name. Sort of. First stop is at my sister's home in the Clare Valley to do yard work - moving a big pile of wood chips that's sitting in front of the garage. Electricians are turning up at short notice on Tue to finally install solar & battery.

"The way they're dealing with hanta shows that we've only gone backwards in infectious disease control. It's pitiful."

I've spent yesterday and today talking to researchers across the globe trying to understand the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius.
My story in @science.org is here (and some threaded thoughts coming):

Excellent, easy to read & understand article. Useful for everyone, even if you're not yet over 70. My booster is due at end of June. I'm 64 & yes, I will be getting it. 😀
Might also imply transmission by fairly casual contact, not just “close, prolonged contact“.
The flight where the KLM stewardess might’ve been infected was 2 weeks ago (24 April). Wondering how many other flights they have been on since, possibly infectious.
100+ other passengers on that flight.
40 other passengers flew home from St Helena, so another 10+ flights to consider.
