  1. Donald Trump and "antivax" Kennedy Junior gutted the departments responsible for preventing, monitoring and containing things like this.
    And now the Center for Contrable Diseases has been forced to release a false statement saying that Hantavirus can only be spread by prolonged close contact- clearly this is not the case- One transmission was at a meal with multiple people involved. Ten more were at the funeral of one of the infected where his wife was, unbeknown to her, a carrier.

    Trump's CDC is on the charitable side trying to prevent alarm. ON the less charitable side trying to prevent further damage to the World cup attendance as well trying to avoid economic harm that will directly affect Trump's billionaire supporters.

  2. Officials keep on stating that chance of human to human transmission is very low, although the story on the ground seems very different.(both on the ship and in Argentina)
    At the same time specialist who know what they are talking about are doubting the official statements.
