00:00I am currently reporting from this infected ship, where three people have already died from a dangerous virus spreading on
00:06board.
00:06Shortly after we reached the first island of our journey, an elderly passenger's health began to deteriorate,
00:12and we were all deeply shocked to receive the news of his passing about 12 days into our voyage.
00:18We set off from the island, and two days later, another person on the ship started showing symptoms of illness.
00:25We stopped on the way at an island called Ascension and performed a medical evacuation for them,
00:30then continued on our way to our final destination, Cape Verde.
00:34I am currently reporting from this infected ship, where three people have already died from a dangerous virus spreading on
00:41board.
00:41Global news outlets have all covered this as an impending pandemic for the future of humanity.
00:45But what is the actual truth? What is it that really happened to us?
00:49Let me tell you the story.
00:51Our journey by ship began in southern Argentina, and the plan was to cross the Atlantic Ocean,
00:56stopping at some remote islands to see the nature and wildlife.
00:59Our trip would end in Cape Verde, Sadia and the Sab and the Se on the African continent.
01:06That landmass lying directly ahead of us is Cape Verde, but we are not permitted to go ashore.
01:12Shortly after we reached the first island of our journey, an elderly passenger's health began to deteriorate,
01:17and we were all deeply shocked to receive the news of his passing about 12 days into our voyage.
01:24The body was evacuated at the second island on our route,
01:27but unfortunately, two days later, we received news of the death of his wife, who was with him on the
01:33trip.
01:34We set off from the island, and two days later, another person on the ship started showing symptoms of illness.
01:40We stopped on the way at an island called Ascension and performed a medical evacuation for them,
01:46then continued on our way to our final destination, Cape Verde.
01:50A few days before we reached our destination, another passenger's health deteriorated, which also led to another death.
01:57Meanwhile, we received the test results for the person we medically evacuated a few days ago,
02:02and it turned out they had Hantavirus.
02:04The problem right now is that two other people on the ship started showing symptoms,
02:10so the ship decided to head at full speed to the final destination to get the patients to the hospital.
02:17But what happened is that Cape Verde, where we are currently,
02:21refused to perform a medical evacuation for the patients,
02:24and refused our presence in their territorial waters altogether.
02:28Today was supposed to be the last day of our 35-day journey across the Atlantic Ocean,
02:33but it is clear that our journey will not end here,
02:37because Cape Verde has refused to receive us on its shores.
02:41What Cape Verde has done so far is send their own doctors to take samples from the patients on our
02:46ship,
02:46but they haven't reached a conclusion or made a decision yet.
02:50Most people on the ship are taking it quite calmly, contrary to what's being said on the news.
02:56For starters, there's only one confirmed case of someone having the Hantavirus,
03:01and secondly, even if it is confirmed that the Hantavirus is the cause,
03:05the risk of infection is very low.
03:09It's believed that the first person to die on the ship was the one who brought the virus on board,
03:13and in one way or another, infected some of the other people on the ship.
03:17Ultimately, this isn't a new virus to the world.
03:19If it were going to become an epidemic, it would have happened a long time ago.
03:25But at this moment, what is happening is that the news is blowing things way out of all proportion.
03:30I truly hope that I have answered all of your questions in this video.
