The Hantavirus outbreak keeps on going.
The case count is up to 11, with 9 *ahem* "confirmed" by PCR test.The French government is isolating their
five cruise ship passengers, and anybody those five people may have talked to, and they are worried the
virus may have mutated.
A
Dutch hospital is "racing" to "curb the spread" after a "protocol breach".
The spectre of
"asymptomatic cases" is suddenly looming, and some "experts" are warning it might be more contagious
than previously thought.
The WHO Director General is warning we should
prepare for more cases.
For reference sake, hantaviruses are endemic in much of the world, and - according to the
most recent literature review on the subject - it is very unlikely it can spread person to person:
The balance of the evidence does not support the claim of human-to-human transmission of ANDV

There was actually markedly bigger hantavirus outbreak a few years ago, involving over 30 cases and 11 deaths. You didn't hear about it much.So why all the panic now?
It is nonsense, with all the unmistakable hallmarks of nonsense.
Like the daring parachute drop from the British army to get vital supplies to a "suspected" case on the deserted island of Tristan de Cunha in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
That's a Covid-era story if ever there was one.
So, is this the oft-predicted "next pandemic"? Well, not yet.
The WHO says the risk to the public
is still very low and there is
"no sign of [a] larger outbreak".
From the beginning they have been repeatedly saying
"this is not another Covid".
So, then...why is everyone talking about it?
Let's go digging for clues.
