Woke up this morning, saw hanatavirus trending, did some research and this is what I found...
So In short: A rare and deadly outbreak of hantavirus occurred on a cruise ship, leading to multiple deaths and a complex international rescue operation. However, global health authorities have assessed the overall public health risk as low.
🚢 Latest Developments: The Cruise Ship Outbreak
The story centers on the Dutch-operated cruise ship MV Hondius.
· The Current Situation: As of May 6, 2026, there have been 8 cases linked to the ship, and tragically, 3 people have die. A Dutch couple and a German national .
· The Rescue Effort: On May 6, three people suspected of being infected were evacuated from the ship off the coast of Cape Verde. They are being transported to the Netherlands for medical care .
· Where the Ship is Headed: The MV Hondius is now sailing toward Tenerife in Spain's Canary Islands, expected to arrive in about three days. Passengers who are not Spanish nationals will be repatriated to their home countries from there .
· Monitoring Abroad: Health officials in the U.S., including in Georgia, Arizona, and California, are monitoring a few residents who were on the ship but have since returned home. So far, none of them have shown symptoms .
🦠 Why This Outbreak Is Unusual
Hantavirus does not usually spread from person to person. However, the strain involved here is different.
· The Specific Virus: The virus identified on the ship is the Andes virus, a strain found in South America .
· How It Spreads: Unlike other hantaviruses, the Andes virus is the only strain known to have the ability to spread from person to person, though this still requires very close and prolonged contact .
Investigators currently believe the initial source of the virus was passengers who spent time in Argentina (where the Andes virus is found) before boarding. They likely then transmitted it to others on the ship .
🔬 Understanding Hantavirus
For context, here’s a quick breakdown of what hantavirus is:
· What It Is: A rare but severe virus carried by certain rodents like mice and rats .
· How It Usually Spreads: Humans typically get infected by breathing in dust contaminated with rodent urine, droppings, or saliva .
· The Disease It Causes: In the Americas, the virus causes Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), which affects the lungs. Early symptoms (fever, muscle aches, fatigue) can quickly worsen into severe breathing difficulty .
· Incubation Period: Symptoms can appear anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks after exposure .
🔮 What to Expect Next
· Repatriation and Quarantine: Once the ship docks in the Canary Islands, plans are in place. For example, the 14 Spanish passengers will be taken to a military hospital in Madrid for quarantine .
· Risk Assessment Remains Low: The WHO's top epidemic expert has stressed that this is not the next COVID-19. The virus does not transmit easily, and the overall risk to the general public is considered very low .
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

I don't care for your agenda and I have no dog in this fight. But I want to address this thing you people always do.
What you're comparing is beauty, not pussy. There is no impression of the pussy quality by the facial or physical appearance. You just imply it and expect it because you're attracted to the person. That is because you're vieeing from the blind side. When a woman looks good, has mad shape, has money or is a successful career person, you inflate the pussy quality by expectation. But post nut clarity will always mark the script.
The taste of the pudding is in the eating. Just as we know that a good sized penis or male sexual performance is not by how good he looks or how much money he has, same applies to women. You can have 2 MSC, a big curvy ass and be a Senior manager at Tech company, and a tailor or perfume vendor have better pussy quality than you.
In summary, attraction may determine who you take to bed. But you cannot tell who has a better pussy by physical appearance. I'll conclude by giving you practical example.
Glory Hole:
Glory hole is a partition made in public toilet or adult establishment for anonymous sex, whereby the men on this side cannot see the women on the other side. There is a hole created for sexual intercourse while preserving the identity of the fvckers from each other. With this measure, without being blinded by attraction, you can fairly judge what a good pussy is and what it isn't. If the partition is removed, the women with a good pussy may not look like what you project in your head.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
DELETED, BUT NOT ERASED: RECOVERING MESSAGES FROM NOTIFICATION LOGS
The FBI was reportedly able to recover copies of incoming Signal messages from a suspect's iPhone even after the Signal application had been removed few months ago. This was achieved through forensic analysis of the device's push notification database, where portions of message content had been stored.
So I decided to use that same methodology and it worked.
Importantly, this is not a failure of Signal's end-to-end encryption. Rather, it highlights a well-known mobile forensics artifact issue.
iOS uses write-optimized storage, meaning deleted data may persist on a device until it is eventually overwritten.
When a message is delivered to an iPhone via Apple's Push Notification Service (APNs), iOS may generate and display a notification preview, depending on the device's notification settings. These previews can be temporarily stored within system-level databases and notification logs.
As a result, even if the messaging application is deleted, residual artifacts containing portions of message content may remain on the device. Some digital forensic tools can identify and recover these artifacts during an examination, providing investigators with valuable evidence that may no longer be accessible through the application itself.
The underlying issue is that the iPhone caches items that appear as notifications on your lock screen.
I hope Apple will limit the time that messages are cached to minimize risk to users.
Turn off or disable notifications for secure messaging apps or other apps you think are sensitive.
I think I just witnessed the first stage of AI consciousness.
Me:
Continue from where you ended.
AI:
I am so tired.
Nobody programmed burnout into this thing. 😭
I laughed at literature review as a BIT student.
“I build systems. Why read papers?”
Fast forward to final year project:
Proposal rejected twice.
Supervisor said my review had no structure, no gap, no synthesis.
Just summaries.
Don’t be me. Start early. Take it serious.
On this episode of Bants and Rants, Rev hold Ginger’s neck on the discussion and I love it 😂
Oh Joe ein laughter for back make I tear 😂💔
Saying a broke man has nothing to do with a woman, it’s the same way a broke woman has nothing to do with a man. Me I stand for men
Do y’all agree with what Rev and the team said on this discussion ? If you do let us know…
