AI-Generated Summary

A deadly Hantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondias cruise ship has led to the evacuation of dozens of passengers and crew after over a month stranded at sea, with three deaths confirmed and multiple cases reported across several countries. Despite the severity, health officials stress the risk to the general public remains extremely low due to the virus's limited human-to-human transmission. The crisis coincides with a major cyberattack on Canvas, a widely used educational platform, which disrupted final exams for students nationwide and exposed data from 275 million individuals. In a lighter segment, CNN journalists tested their fitness on the revived presidential fitness test, revealing how far they’ve fallen from peak physical condition. Meanwhile, high school students in Kansas developed a vibration-enabled glove to help Parkinson’s patients manage tremors, proving innovation can come from unexpected places. And in Missouri, a 99-year-old woman’s late-life artistic journey is now being celebrated in a gallery exhibit, reminding us that creativity has no expiration date.
