Hantavirus is deadly, but it is not new, and it does not spread with the ruthless efficiency of Covid-19. Most infections come from contact with infected rodents, not from casual conversation or shared air in a supermarket aisle.

They are living it in confined corridors, waiting for test results and evacuation lists, listening for every cough. Yet outside that ship, the WHO\u2019s message is clear: the overall public health risk remains low.
