So... what's the general take on the hantavirus outbreak?

Despite the real risk from hantavirus being low, it is getting covered a lot in media right now. I think this is actually good. A lot of people had already forgotten about the pandemic that we had not that long ago and moved on to worrying about other problems currently dominating the news cycle. Hopefully this serves as a (small) reminder to people that pandemic preparedness / biosecurity really does matter.

At the risk of being too curmudgeonly, I'd say the main take is to stay away from the news cycle.

The best thing I’ve read on it so far is this article by Kelsey Piper.
