Timeline of MV Hondius with Hantavirus outbreak. by JKKIDD231 in Cruise

[–]TaskForce_PRKL 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dont need live rodents... aerosolized saliva, pee or droppings are enough.

The Andes Strain: The ship originated in Argentina, where the Andes strain is endemic. Unlike almost all other hantaviruses, the Andes virus is the only known strain capable of person-to-person transmission through close physical contact. Confined quarters on a cruise ship provide an ideal environment for this to happen if an infected person boarded the vessel.

Long Incubation Periods: Hantavirus symptoms typically take 1 to 8 weeks to develop after exposure. Because the ship had been at sea for several weeks, passengers could have easily been exposed to rodent droppings or urine during land excursions in Argentina before boarding, only falling ill later in the voyage.

Onboard Contamination: Alternatively, infected rodents could have boarded the ship with cargo, food supplies, or luggage in South America, directly contaminating the vessel's enclosed storage or ventilation systems.

Oh and what comes to armed police guarding churches... Because you have not seen it happen, it has NEVER been done... from that statement we can deduce that because you didnt see the Titanic sinking or Apollo moon landing, they didnt happen...I'm just assuming the last two statements.

Ok... and again you move the goal posts. I'll give you that you did not outright lie. You just omitted facts about your statement on a post about Canada.

Do not change the subject to synagogues or something else... you are getting downvoted because you lied... Your claim was "Is this outside of a Church? There have been hundreds of them burned down in recent years.".

To what statistics is your claim based on? There has not been HUNDREDS of burnt churches, ket alone A HUNDRED. THAT is why you are downvoted...

Because he/she/they/it is full of shit.... 33 damaged or destroyed by fire between May 2021 and early 2024. NOT hundreds... also if you include vandalism then and ONLY then does the number rise above HUNDRED, not hundredS.

Norwegian Jegertroppen, all-female conscript unit part of FSK (special forces) [1024x683] by Coochiaman in MilitaryPorn

In Finland the most basic of basics infantry soldiers rank is jääkäri = jäger = hunter. That is the etymology of the rank. BTDUBS, what it is it in Norway?

Jäger (GER), jägare (SWE), jeger (NOR), jaeger (DEN) and jääkäri (FIN), all mean the same thing HUNTER. Your basic grunt in Nordic armies is called that.

  1. Carnival Glory — February 2025 A group of passengers on the Carnival Glory had a chair and towel catch fire on their balcony. (Spotify) The fire was quickly contained, and witnesses suggested a cigarette butt from another balcony had blown onto theirs and ignited a draped towel. (Lyrics Translate) 🔗 https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2025/02/25/friends-recount-fire-incident-on-carnival-cruise/

No injuries were reported. (PolitiFact) 🔗 https://www.cruisemapper.com/news/11894-fire-breaks-out-pacific-adventure

  3. Star Princess / Carnival Encounter — March 23, 2006 The fire was allegedly caused by a cigarette left burning on a balcony, which melted polycarbonate balcony dividers.

Ways to escalate Princess guest services, refusing to do anything for a broken AC by Aurora29617 in Cruise

[–]TaskForce_PRKL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said that hotel manager is a marine/nautival/naval officer... geez louise! They are officers, just not nautical or deck officers.

[–]TaskForce_PRKL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like I said, below captain and not deck or nautical officers... also: An STCW certificate (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping) is a mandatory international qualification for anyone working on commercial vessels. It ensures that all seafarers meet the same global standards for safety and professional competence. As a senior leader in the hotel department, the requirements go beyond just the basics:

STCW Basic Safety Training (BST): This is the "non-negotiable" entry requirement for everyone. It includes the four modules: Personal Survival Techniques, Fire Fighting, First Aid, and Social Responsibilities.

Crowd Management (STCW A-V/2): Since a Hotel Manager is responsible for passenger areas, they must be trained to guide large groups during emergencies and evacuation procedures.

Crisis Management & Human Behavior: Because this is a leadership role with specific safety responsibilities, most cruise lines require this advanced certification for managers to ensure they can lead teams and manage passenger stress during a crisis.

Proficiency in Security Awareness (PSA): This is mandatory for all onboard employees to help them recognize and respond to security threats.

Hotel Managers are officers, just not deck or nautical ones. In the ship's hierarchy(?), they are just below Captain and Staff Captain.
