Andes lethal virus spreads beyond cruise ship

Well, this wasn't on MY scorecard for the second term of #AgentKrasnov. Since #TrumpleThinSkin has ejected ALL the adults from the Cabinet & the new nominee of #ResidentDump to head the Public Health Service has utterly no experience in Public Health (but is well experienced at Fox & Friends), I am underthrilled by the appearance of this hemorrhagic virus which, unlike #Ebola, has demonstrated the ability to spread airborne with an R-zero of 2.12, similar to the 1918 "Spanish Flu".  Sadly, there's no specific anti-viral treatment for it, per The Lancet.
