Didn’t Gene Hackman’s wife die of a hantavirus?

She sure did.

The circumstances surrounding that escapes me however.

Which makes sense based on where they lived.

If I remember right (I really should go back and re-read about it), the original mystery outbreak that ended up being hanta virus was in an arid region, and after a rain storm rodents spread their feces infected with the virus, and humans brought it inside by treading through it and getting it on their shoes.

This is not the sort of virus that should be spreading through large populations under normal conditions..... unless.... it mutated was weaponized.
