## Resource

An 82-year-old Aussie cruise passenger, quarantined near Perth after a deadly hantavirus scare on the MV Hondius, shares his heartfelt gratitude for Australia’s swift response — calling the six-week isolation “worth it” if just one life was saved. With birdwatching competitions and daily health checks keeping spirits up, he’s counting down the final days until release, eager to hug family and finally get a haircut. The group — four Aussies, a permanent resident, and a Kiwi — flew home from the Netherlands after a complex repatriation process. Though the rare hantavirus caused panic with two deaths onboard and one evacuation, no further spread has been found. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
