1/ The past 36 hours have been significant for the ongoing #hantavirus outbreak. I still think the risk is low, but we're almost certainly going to see more cases. Here's what I'm watching:
1. Three new positive individuals (French, US, Spanish).
2. Four viral genomes.
3. Ship fully evacuated.

1/ Yesterday I was more worried about #hantavirus than I am today.
Why?
Flight attendant who was exposed - Tested negative
Viral genome - No concerning mutations
Two Singaporean's exposed - Tested negative
Data situation - We're tracking at Global.health (h/t @mugkraemer.bsky.social)
