Having hantavirus was 'hell on earth'

Two hantavirus survivors—Canadian Lorne Warburton and German Christin Ege—describe their severe, Covid-like symptoms, lengthy recoveries, and lingering health effects, including atrial fibrillation for Warburton. A rare hantavirus strain has caused a deadly outbreak on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius, killing three passengers, evacuating several others (including a Briton in stable condition), and prompting two UK individuals to self-isolate; hantaviruses spread via rodents, have no widely available vaccine, and carry mortality rates of 20-40%.
