@sciencewhizliz: Lots of things are being said about the Andes virus (the hantavirus on the cruise ship) that are fear mongering. I understand being concerned but we need to all take a deep breath and understand that this is quickly evolving. We need to be clear about what we do and don't know.
My Aunt (former high level CDC) agrees with you. Not worried, just observent

Having lived through 2020, I think vigilance is important. Concerns are valid. To be worried is valid.

As an ICU nurse that worked Covid, we're scared. If the rate of transmission is as low as they are saying, how did it get transmitted on a plane (reporting out from France)? Can this virus be transmitted while asymptomatic? This is what we need to know with incubation of 1-8 weeks especially considering those "asymptomatic" patients will be getting off of the cruise ship and returning to their country as long as they don't have symptoms. Which means commercial travel.

Does the amount of international travelers to many many destinations, related to FIFA World Cup in a few weeks, raise your concern level?

To help the anxious people who haven’t addressed their COVID trauma to rest a little easier: Andes virus isn’t new. We have been monitoring it for decades and 100-200 cases a year is normal. The biggest outbreak it’s ever had is 34 people.
