Tim launches into the hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, recalling his mother's mouse-related hantavirus fears, mocking cruise culture generally, and escalating into a bit demanding the U.S. government bomb the ship to prevent the disease from spreading.

In this bit9 moments
  • Tim's mother warned about hantavirus from mice in the house.
  • Cruises used to be for old people; gay cruises are fun but there's too much risk of nightmare scenarios.
  • You buy fake tourist crap in made-up Mexican towns, and now you've got hantavirus on the ship.
  • News reports a hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship with 30+ infected passengers who disembarked weeks ago and spread it worldwide.
  • The photo shows how cruise passengers exit now—stranded and sick instead of excited about the buffet.
  • Tim's mother was right to worry about hantavirus from mice; his father dismissed her concerns as overreacting.
  • Tim claims to know experts saying human-to-human hantavirus spread might be overstated and probably not a big deal.
  • Tim's solution: bomb the cruise ship immediately if any disease outbreak occurs—no one infected should return to the country.
  • This should be the new standard: any significant disease outbreak on a cruise means bomb it, same way they shot down that plane near the White House.
