Egg sandwiches and PPE: Inside a 40-day hantavirus quarantine in Omaha

TL;DR Summary
Passengers from a cruise ship exposed to hantavirus are in a federally funded quarantine unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for up to 40 days. They receive meals from a numbered daily menu, undergo regular temperature checks with staff in protective gear, and cope with extended isolation while staying in touch with loved ones; some travelers have been moved to other biocontainment facilities and a doctor from the voyage tested positive.
