  @lhauser@mefi.social Every once in a while I get tempted by the brochures of expedition cruises kinda like I think this one was. Where it's not going to tourist places, but it's an "educational" journey with scientists and educators instead of bands, open bars, and children. Those always look so elegant and polished, like I would have to go somewhere and have them outfit me with a wardrobe before I'd own anything that would fit in. And then something like this happens. Granted, hantavirus is a new twist, it's not Carnival's Cavalcade of Caca, so hey...upgrade, but still, it happens so regularly that I want to pinch myself for even slightly considering paying to subject myself to a plague pit. (To be fair, it may be some sour grapes too, good god cruises are spendy! There's more than one number in front of a comma? get outta here with that. )
