It just got worse…

OHHHH SINCE WE LAST SPOKE… 🍿

🦠 HANTAVIRUS SHIP OUTBREAK
Nearly 150 people are stuck on the MV Hondius after a hantavirus outbreak left 3 people dead. The ship has been refused docking by multiple places, passengers have been evacuated for treatment, and cases have now been confirmed in people who already left the ship. The concerning part? It’s reportedly the Andes strain — the rare hantavirus strain that can spread human-to-human through close contact. The good news: health officials say the risk to the wider public is still low.

📝 EPSTEIN NOTE UNSEALED
A handwritten note allegedly linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s first reported attempt has finally been unsealed.

🔫 WORST ROBBERY EVER?
A woman in West Virginia may have pulled off the most chaotic attempted robbery of all time. She allegedly walked into a fuel station in Crocs, gave the cashier her real name, had to explain that it was a robbery, put the gun down when asked, then got tricked into walking to the back of the store while the clerk escaped. Absolute cinema.

🇨🇦 ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE PUSH
A separatist group in Alberta says it has collected over 300,000 signatures for an independence referendum — way above the 170,000 needed. If verified, Alberta could hold a vote as soon as October. But even if people vote yes, independence would still face a mountain of legal and political hurdles.

🥊 CHILD FIGHT CLUB SCHOOL SCANDAL
A school director in Arkansas has been sentenced after prosecutors said she helped run a “makeshift child fight club.” Court documents allege a child was surrounded by other students, verbally berated, and told to be beaten while adults watched. She’s now banned from working with children ever again.
