Hantavirus requires prolonged exposure in order to spread (shared quarters or living space for an extended period, hence the outbreak being on a cruise ship). The incubation period is genuinely concerning, but the extent of its transmissibility isn’t even remotely comparable to COVID. COVID can spread to multiple people within the span of 10 minutes, hantavirus requires days of close proximity exposure for transmission.

You do realize viruses can mutate to become more transmissible.

I do! And you do realize how long that generally takes and how much human exposure and evolutionary pressure that usually requires, right?

Is anyone else having the same "this one's different" feeling they got when COVID-19 was coming out that they didn't get with all the other virus flops?

O-oh, neither am I...

Me neither   But the absolute flop this decade will be if it turns into a COVID 2.0.
