Hantaviruses are a group of viruses primarily transmitted to humans through contact with infected rodents, including their droppings, urine, and saliva. While human infections are relatively rare, the resulting illnesses, such as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, can be severe or fatal. Most infections occur when individuals inhale contaminated dust during activities like cleaning out sheds or rural buildings. Health experts emphasize that while there is no specific cure or vaccine for many strains, early medical intervention significantly improves survival rates. Prevention through rodent control and proper hygiene remains the most effective strategy.
- Hantaviruses are carried by various rodent species, such as deer mice, white-footed mice, and bank voles.
- Humans typically become infected by inhaling aerosolized virus particles from rodent waste or through direct contact.
- Initial symptoms often include fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, which can progress to severe respiratory or kidney distress.
- The virus is generally not transmitted between humans, with the exception of rare cases involving the Andes virus strain.
- Early diagnosis and intensive medical care are critical for managing the high mortality rate associated with the pulmonary form of the disease.
- Preventative measures include sealing entry points for rodents and using wet cleaning methods with disinfectants to avoid stirring up dust.

No need to worry, its natural selection for better homo sapiens
They let some 30 passengers disembark after the first death or first case. The virus is now is several areas including Northern California & Ontario. One of these passengers sat for hours in an international terminal.
Now people are planning trips abroad even after the virus outbreak, and many who booked before it started still choose to travel anyway. Then they bring the virus back home and potentially spread it through airports, buses, taxis, and crowded places before they even get back. It feels like we’re repeating the exact same mistakes as last time. And when they end up stuck in quarantine abroad and get angry about it, I honestly have a hard time feeling sorry for them
If this happens in Asia, the world will definitely in rage.
How do you know that there wasn’t some small rodent still on the ship rather than all this human to human transfer? It is important to self isolate at the very least just to be on the safe side. Or the people infected were off the ship in a certain place on land. Bird flu that the world goes crazy over has only to date infected from the bird to the person not from person to person. I listened to a podcast called TWIV during the Covid pandemic and got scientific information from this format. The trouble with News and our social media is everything goes viral so to speak and can set up panic in the public forum.
When you see a Hazmat suit it's very serious. Time to get yourself one too.
Great questioning. Not very convincing answers
Why hazmat? I thought there are germans on board?
Thick and conspiratorial people will perish in this one, but you should be glad to get rid of the stupidity in society!.. You can’t surmise the extent of the spreading for weeks.
When INDIAN AYURVEDIC CERTIFIED DOCTORS IN MAHARASHTRA DURING CO..VID SUCCESSFULLY TREATED PATIENTS IN OPEN FARMING FIELDS WITH LIVE VIDEOS,
STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS RUSHED AT THEM TO THREATEN TO ARREST AND KI.L.
THAT WAS SO SHOCKING.
WESTERN BIG PHARMA WERE TERRIFIED OF THIS NEW TREATMENT SO THEY SENT THEIR PRIVATE GOVERNMENT PETS TO CRUSH DOCTORS.
WITHOUT ANY VACCINE PATIENTS WERE FREE. ALL GOOD MARATHI NEWSPAPERS COVERED THAT NEWS.
EU remained silent. SHAME.
According to google, Hanta in Hebrew means a scam, lie, fraudulent
To distract attention from real issues in the word…. that's why the suits…mossad f Spain…
You did know the virus you all told us it came from Bats 😂
"This is nothing like covid. Then we didn't know how it spreads or what risk factors are." So this EXACTLY like covid, is what you are saying.
This is not way how to handle fuel shortage.
Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies
Fear mongering. That's why they wear them.
I am glad the passengers recently returned to the US, to Atlanta and to Omaha, will have access to full containment. We learned from COVID that people respond poorly to mandates. Education seems to have led to people voluntarily choosing to stay at the quarantine unit in Omaha. I imagine Europe has similar resources.
this guy rubs me the wrong way
I hope the virus will not be introduced in Gaza.
12 people had "prolonged close contact" … must have been one big oegy…
25-50% death rate
U should be asking why is half the people are in hazmat suits and other people just walking round without
Seriously, they questions why?
Deadly rate is quite high, it around 50/50 change
