Ffs I dont care about former MPs entitlements I dont care about throwing a few bucks at public transport.

I am begging any party & MP actually show some balls or overies and come out with a bold plan to shake this shit it up out here in the trenches for every #NewZealander.

Because right now not a single one of you deserve to be in the beehive.

Agi: La MV Hondius in vaggio verso i Paesi Bassi. Atterrati a Rotterdam i due aerei con gli ult...

AGI - È in viaggio verso i Paesi Bassi la nave da crociera MV Hondius, a bordo della quale è stato individuato un focolaio di hantavirus. Dopo aver agevolato lo sbarco degli ultimi passeggeri a bordo, la nave ha lasciato ieri dopo le 19 il porto di Granadilla de Abona, nell’arcipelago spagnolo delle Canarie.
“Si prevede che la MV Hondius impiegherà sei giorni per salpare fino a Rotterdam”, ha dichiarato la compagnia armatrice Oceanwide Expeditions in un comunicato, aggiungendo che una data di arrivo possibile sia quella della sera di domenica 17 maggio.
Equipaggio a bordo e passeggero deceduto
A bordo sono rimasti 25 membri dell’equipaggio e due componenti del personale medico. La nave trasporta anche il corpo di un passeggero tedesco deceduto durante la crociera.
Arrivo degli evacuati nei Paesi Bassi
Gli ultimi due aerei che trasportavano passeggeri e membri dell’equipaggio evacuati dalla nave da crociera MV Hondius, dove è stata rilevata un’epidemia di hantavirus, sono atterrati ieri sera a Eindhoven, nei Paesi Bassi, lunedì sera.
Dettagli sui passeggeri evacuati
I due aerei provenienti dall’arcipelago spagnolo delle Isole Canarie trasportavano in totale 28 persone, secondo il Ministero degli Esteri olandese. A bordo del primo aereo c’erano sei ex passeggeri Hondius (quattro australiani, un neozelandese e un britannico residenti in Australia): saranno ospitati in un centro di quarantena vicino all’aeroporto prima di partire per l’Australia. I sei, che indossavano camici medici bianchi e mascherine, sono scesi dall’aereo medico, stringendo borse bianche contenenti i loro effetti personali, prima di entrare nel terminal.
Equipaggio e autorità sanitarie
Il secondo velivolo trasportava 19 membri dell’equipaggio, un medico britannico, un epidemiologo dell’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità (OMS) e un altro del Centro Europeo per la Prevenzione e il Controllo delle Malattie (CEPM). Hanno indossato solo una maschera e grandi borse bianche contenenti i loro effetti personali.

The cruise ship MV Hondius is en route to the Netherlands, where a cluster of hantavirus has been detected on board. After facilitating the disembarkation of the last passengers, the ship left Granadilla de Abona, in the Spanish Canary Islands, yesterday after 7 p.m.

“The MV Hondius is expected to take six days to reach Rotterdam,” Oceanwide Expeditions stated in a press release, adding that a possible arrival date is the evening of Sunday, May 17th.

Crew and Deceased Passenger Aboard
Twenty-five crew members and two medical personnel remain on board. The ship is also carrying the body of a deceased German passenger who died during the cruise.

Arrival of Evacuees in the Netherlands
The two aircraft transporting evacuated passengers and crew from the cruise ship MV Hondius, where a hantavirus epidemic was detected, landed yesterday evening in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Details on Evacuated Passengers
The two aircraft from the Spanish Canary Islands archipelago carried a total of 28 people, according to the Dutch Foreign Ministry. On board the first aircraft were six former Hondius passengers (four Australians, a New Zealander, and a British resident in Australia): they will be housed in a quarantine center near the airport before departing for Australia. The six, wearing white medical gowns and masks, disembarked the medical aircraft, clutching white bags containing their personal belongings, before entering the terminal.

Crew and Health Authorities
The second aircraft carried 19 crew members, a British doctor, an epidemiologist from the World Health Organization (WHO), and another from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). They wore only masks and large white bags containing their personal belongings.
