Travel influencer Jake Rosmarin has urged viewers to remember that the passengers on the MV Hondius are not just headlines but individuals with families and friends.

The nearly 150 people aboard have not been allowed to disembark due to fears of contamination. The flu-like virus spreads by contact with rodents or their excretions and may spread between people.
