CDC Confirms Spread Of 'Unknown' Outbreak Aboard Cruise Ship

Sunday, Feb 18, 2024 - 02:35 AM
The CDC has confirmed that an "unknown" outbreak aboard a cruise ship is spreading, and has infected at least 154 people.
In an update this week, the agency said that so far 25 crew members and 129 passengers on the Carnival-owned Cunard Cruise Line's Queen Victoria have fallen ill, after an initial 15 cases were reported weeks ago. The Queen Victoria has 1,824 passengers and 967 crew members aboard.
Those fallen ill have reported "symptoms of gastrointestinal illness," however the CDC has yet to identify the exact illness.
"Cunard confirms that a number of guests had reported symptoms of gastrointestinal illness on board Queen Victoria on voyage V405 which departed Florida on [Jan. 22] and arrived in San Francisco on [Feb. 7]," said Cunard Cruise Lines in a statement to news outlets. "They immediately activated their enhanced health and safety protocols to ensure the wellbeing of all guests and crew on board and these measures have been effective."
According to CruiseMapper, the Queen Victoria is currently on a 55-day trip that will take it from Germany to Australia - with its final destination being Honolulu, Hawaii on March 4.
Last month, nearly 100 passengers aboard a Celebrity Cruises ship, the Constellation, fell ill with norovirus after departing in early January from Florida.
As the Epoch Times reports further;

Common Outbreak Source

While the CDC report still hasn’t revealed the cause of the Cunard cruise ship’s outbreak, norovirus has been the most common source of illnesses on cruise ships in recent years. The agency reported 14 illness outbreaks on cruise ships in 2023, with norovirus being listed as the causative agent in all but one of the incidents.
Last year, for example, a norovirus outbreak sickened more than 170 people on a Celebrity cruise ship, with the main symptoms being diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and headaches.
In a normal year, according to the CDC, norovirus causes between 19 million and 21 million cases of vomiting and diarrhea, 109,000 hospitalizations, and 900 deaths across the United States. The virus also is associated with about 495,000 emergency department visits, mostly in younger children, the CDC says.
If there is a new strain of the virus, the CDC says, there can be upward of 50 percent more norovirus illnesses in a given year.
The CDC’s webpage for norovirus says the virus is very contagious and generally causes vomiting and diarrhea. “Anyone can get infected and sick with norovirus. Norovirus is sometimes called the ’stomach flu‘ or ’stomach bug,’” the agency says. “However, norovirus illness is not related to the flu.”
Other than cruise lines, norovirus outbreaks often occur in health care facilities, long-term care facilities, restaurants, child care centers, and schools. Noting the association between norovirus outbreaks and cruises, the CDC says that more than 90 percent of “outbreaks of diarrheal disease on cruise ships” are caused by the virus.
“These outbreaks often get media attention, which is why some people call norovirus the ‘cruise ship virus,’” the CDC says. “However, norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships account for only a small percentage ... of all reported norovirus outbreaks. Norovirus can be especially challenging to control on cruise ships because of the close living quarters, shared dining areas, and rapid turnover of passengers.”

Never been on a ship have you, you can't avoid getting a bug if someone has brought it aboard and you're stuck in close proximity to that person.

OTOH, on these ships it seems that 98% of the passengers make it through without actually getting ill, as happened during the "corona" ******** scare as well.
so, maybe people should pay some attention to these people who get sick and ask themselves WHY THEY GET SICK

I don’t get why this is noteworthy news. Happens all the time.
 
i remember when my whole family came down with norovirus and I being a savvy microbiologist, was determined not to get it. I used a N95, goggles, 10% bleached everything and slept in the other part of the house while everyone was puking and having diarrhea. After a few days everyone was ok and I didn’t get it! I basked in my superior intellect and protocols! The next day I came down with it just as badly as they did. Pride goeth before a fall. 
 
The sad thing is there are many strains of norovirus and though you get immunity from the one you experience it doesn’t necessarily confer immunity to others. It’s a very nasty bug to get. At least you won’t come back 10 pounds heavier from pigging out on a cruise.

Washing hands has limited effectiveness for viruses. You can have 10,000 particles in an area the size of a period. It is very effective for bacteria as long as they aren’t spore formers like C. difficile. 
 
You can sterilize the ship and once someone walks by it can be contaminated again. Why we in the lab have PPE for each area which is discarded as you go from one area to another to prevent transfer. How could this possibly be done on a cruise ship? 
 
It hysterical to watch people fanatically wiping down the gym equipment as if that could help anything. Never seen anyone wipe down the exit door handle or the railing. Plus every microbiologist knows you never touch any disinfectant with your bare hands because it is absorbed and can damage organs especially thyroid and adrenals.

7 hours ago
The nutritional value of celery is impressive in this regard. Celery also contains a compound called luteolin that can prevent inflammation in the brain cells. Research suggests that celery extract acts like anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen.
Celery, because of compounds such as caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, apigenin, luteolin, tannin, saponin, and kaempferol, has powerful antioxidant characteristics, to remove free radicals. It is clear that celery, with different compounds and diverse concentration can have varied healing effects.

Oh, man...this was a discussion on here months back...let me see if I can find it. It was a good thread.
1. The proteins found in milk promote excretion of uric acid in the urine. -Arthritis Foundation
2. Acute effect of the ingestion of 80 g each of casein, lactalbumin, and soybean isolate on serum and urinary uric acid concentrations was investigated in 10 healthy subjects. Serum and urinary uric acid concentrations were measured before and after the ingestion of proteins. Serum uric acid decreased significantly 3 h after ingestion of lactalbumin and casein but increased after soybean consumption. Urate clearance was significantly increased after ingestion of each of the three proteins. Multivariate analysis of urate clearance during lactalbumin and casein loads showed that independent correlation was obtained for serum alanine and urea concentration. These results demonstrate that, in addition to their known uricosuric (makes you pee uric acid...) effect, milk proteins acutely decrease serum uric acid concentration. Analysis of the effects of lactalbumin and casein on urinary uric acid elimination suggests that the uricosuric effect of proteins is a multifactorial phenomenon.
I couldn't find the original NHS article but these articles sum it up pretty well.
So the milk proteins make you pee out uric acid- and the process is so complex, no one really knows why- but consuming soy proteins makes gout worse.

They largely got rid of European staff except for senior management positions in the early noughties and there  has been a rising culture of third world standards of cleanliness ever since and they are "baffled" as to the cause of all these food poisonings and other issues.
I'm sure the culture of the people they now employ with their much lower standards of acceptable toilet habits and cleanliness around food especially have nothing whatever to do with it.
Diversity in toilet and food cleanliness standards is our strength.

i have been on exactly one cruise, including 5 days at sea. it was fun for me because they segregated smokers to one corner of the upper deck so smokers met all the smokers onboard. it wasn't worth it otherwise except it was a break from the phone and internet while at sea.  it would be fun to bring a dozen books and do nothing for a cross ocean trip with a week at sea. stopping in some port every day for not nearly enough time to do anything meaningful is a waste of time. our favorite day on the cruise was the first day in port after 5 days at sea. we stayed on the ship and had the swimming pool and deck all to ourselves all day. it was like it was our ship. lol

Mag 8: Could Lilly be the first trillion dollar pharma stock?

Trillion dollar baby
Every thing is going Eli Lilly's way lately. New all-time highs on a regular basis and up>30% YTD. Investors are now switching focus to what the upside potential is. Morgan Stanley this week raised price target to a Wall Street-high of $950 and asked if LLY could be the first $1 trillion pharma stock. Goldman also sees potential to breach the trillion dollar mark and makes a convincing case for LLY to join the Magnificent club. Let's dig in more on the product that >30% of all Americans should be on and the stock that we all should own.
