In amateur radio there was a famous DXpedition there this year.

There are some videos on facebork but you have to trade your data to see them apparently.
Alternatively there's some pictures on this page, so you can get the idea of the remoteness and weather they have.

Tristan de Cuhna is more remote. It’s 2430km from St. Helena. Bouvet Island’s closest neighbor is Antarctica (1770 km).
Correct, I thing "most isolated island" is the wrong term. I think Bouvet Islandis the "most inaccessible" would have been a better term.
A interesting article, I am sure people reading this would love to go there (like me), but for me it would be a risky trip :)
Hmmm.. there must be a way to define remote to correlate with likelihood of a hantavirus outbreak.
Maybe the remoteness or inhabitedness of nearest neighbors matters?
It's also the island where Google copyright takedown notices originate from.
