“Two medically evacuated passengers from the cruise ship MV Hondius arrived in the Netherlands for medical treatment after a confirmed hantavirus outbreak occurred on the ship.”
Two evacuated MV Hondius passengers were widely reported as arriving in the Netherlands for treatment, but the claim overstates the medical confirmation. The evidence reviewed does not clearly show that a confirmed hantavirus outbreak had been established on the ship itself before those transfers. Reporting more often referred to suspected cases or limited confirmations tied to individuals, not a definitively confirmed onboard outbreak.
“At a summit in the Netherlands, a microphone left on after a press conference between Volodymyr Zelensky and the Dutch Prime Minister captured a member of Zelensky's delegation saying "Oh, save me, Jesus Christ" in English.”
The specific phrase attributed in this claim has no credible evidentiary support. A hot-mic incident did occur after Zelensky's April 16, 2026 press conference with Dutch PM Jetten in Middelburg, but multiple independent sources consistently confirm the audio captured was the Ukrainian interpreter saying "This is f#cking hell! I've never had such a press conference before!" in Ukrainian — not "Oh, save me, Jesus Christ" in English. Fact-checkers and major wire services found no evidence for the religious English exclamation.
