where are all the passengers presently on earth from the Hantavirus ship?

This is an extremely important question because people often will show no symptoms at all for 18 or more days. So, all these people not any longer on the ship are potential ticking time bombs all over the earth right now and could be infecting others as we speak all over the world. This is potentially true at this point. What is the reality here? Not sure yet. But, if this is as transmissible as Covid was then you can expect 30% fatalities of all who get this thing worldwide.
