Panic and fear is the bread and butter of news media. From what I understand, hantaviruses aren't something that causes pandemics like corona viruses.

It's just news media fear mongering and regular people posting COVID trauma.

    I mean, here's a comment on reddit with over 800 points in less than an hour:

    Already multiple people have tested positive. I think its more contagious than they proclaim. Supposedly you need to be family-level close to get contaminated but this seems not to be the case here

    This is just some guy on reddit saying shit. This isn't a conglomerate of international health experts. Hell, this could be a bot.
