Hey, this is Robert from the Stuff to Blow Your Mind podcast.

Joe and I are both lifelong Star Wars fan, so we're celebrating May the 4th with a brand

new week of fun, thought-provoking Star Wars-related episodes.

Join us as we tackle science and culture topics from a galaxy far, far away, such as the

biology of taun tons and wampas

on the ice planet hot, or the practicality and corporate business sense of the Sith rule of two.

Listen to stuff to blow your mind on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts.

Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, May 6th, and this hauntavirus horror story above a board a cruise ship, I should say, is getting scarier by the moment.

It's not just concerned.

Now, concerns about the people who are on that ship, there are concerns that some people who might have been infected got off and not exactly sure where they are. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robes, I was stuttering and fumbling through that intro, because this story, to be quite honest with you, we have written it several times this morning and had to keep rewriting it because it has been changing by the moment. Yes, this is a

developing story that is changing by the moment. Here are the latest developments. So last night,

when we all went to bed, Spain said, it is our moral obligation. It is our humanitarian obligation to welcome the ship to the Canary Islands.

We will have the facilities available to screen these passengers, treat those who might be sickened or infected, and we'll take this on.

Well, just moments ago, the Canary Islands are rejecting now the docking of that cruise ship. So there is now a back

and forth as to where this ship is headed. Right now it is stranded. And we now know that at least

three people have been evacuated just moments ago from this ship. But there are a lot of questions,

as you pointed out. So folks, force, we want to let you know if you've been following us, you know we have been traveling, and in the background you might hear some winds, some seagulls, and yes, some waves. Those waves are to the Atlantic Ocean. And far, far north and to the east of where we are is where this ship is robed and where it's been for several days now.

This was a reminder here, folks, supposed to be about a month-long tour that these people were taking on this adventure of a life sign, bucket list, I think they were saying, type of cruise ship.

Now we have three dead and another three we know sickened, suspected hantavirus.
