90-Second Read: He was on the Hantavirus cruise. What he wants every American to know.

The Boston travel influencer was one of 18 American passengers aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship − the vessel at the center of a deadly Hantavirus outbreak making international headlines. Rosmarin and most of the other Americans have been transported to a quarantine center in Nebraska, where they are being monitored for symptoms. And, while Hantavirus does certainly cause serious illness, he encourages people to keep worry about far-reaching spread in perspective.

The last few weeks have been a roller coaster for Jake Rosmarin. But, out of concern for the safety of others, including his fiancé back home, he says he intends to quarantine in Nebraska for a full 42 days, the approximate incubation period of the virus. His parents' basement in New York, he adds, also isn't ideal.

He's not sure what a real day-in-the-life will entail once he does. It's scary, or scarier, for people like us, who are at risk with exposure after being on a ship with people for five-to-six weeks. If there's a way to safely get some time outside, he plans to do that too, though so far he hasn't been afforded that option.
