Medical updates: A French woman is critically ill in Paris with doctors describing life-support care, and cases now sit at 11 as more evacuees are tested. Risk messaging: WHO and others keep repeating the same line—no sign of a larger outbreak yet—and stress hantavirus is not like COVID in how it spreads. Cabo Verde angle: The ship was anchored off Cabo Verde during the early phase, and local capacity gaps helped drive the Canary Islands docking decision.
