So many brush off the Covid pandemic as near nothing. Remember that is how we lost Dr7. Because the average age of AH players is pretty high, I am guessing we lost more than we know to covid.
Now some sluff off hantavirus. If it was not for the Navajo outbreak many years ago, the cause of the onboard case may have not been diagnosed in time to contain a wider spread. Every case allows for a possible mutant variation. More cases, more chances. It is aa numbers game. I think the death rate floats between 35%-50%.
Not saying we should do more than what has been done. Just don't lose respect for Hantavirus variants capacity to do harm.
Am I worried? No. Just thankful that the involved health organizations did their due diligence.
