Hanta virus outbreak on a cruise ship

Bird watchers
Beware
Our ventures
Into nature
Expose us
To rat/mouse poop
Or urine, saliva
And so the story goes
An avid birdwatcher couple
On a cruise
Picked up
The Andes variant
The cruise ship
An ideal place for
Spread through air
And this specific type
Also spreads from
Human to human
Great to see
My former colleagues
Communicable disease control
Physicians
Inform; track and trace
Isolate and prevent further spread
Our clinical colleagues
Treat to prevent
Pulmonary and renal syndroms
Let our professionals do their work
Peace to all family members
Of the sick and deceased

Namaskar
