MANHATTAN — The State of New York has graciously offered to allow American hantavirus patients to stay in any of their local nursing homes.
With seventeen Americans being ordered into quarantine due to hantavirus exposure, Governor Hochul immediately called to request the patients be housed as close as possible to elderly, infirm New Yorkers.
"We are following the science," announced Governor Hochul. "While red states languish, New York will once again lead the way in pandemic preparation by securing all infected patients inside nursing homes. We know from experience how to trap a virus inside the buildings which contain our most vulnerable population. Our track record speaks for itself."
While health authorities appreciated the gesture, the Center for Disease Control has thus far declined Hochul's offer. "We were thinking maybe quarantining these patients in like a hospital with doctors," said CDC advisor Joel Gantry. "Also, we had the idea that to best quarantine the patients, we should keep them away from other people. It's a new strategy we're hoping to try."
At publishing time, CNN had arrived at the governor's mansion to set up its official "Hantavirus Death Counter."

what does “hanta” mean in hebrew?
Thought for 4s
“Hanta” (חַנְטָה / chanta) in Hebrew is Israeli slang.Meaning:It means:Scam
Lie / Nonsense
Fraud
Something fake or “bullshit”
It’s used informally to dismiss something as ridiculous, deceptive, or untrue. For example:”זה חנטה” = “That’s hanta” → “That’s nonsense / a scam / bullshit.”
ContextIt is colloquial slang, not formal or classical Hebrew.
The word has gone viral recently because of the similarity to “Hantavirus” (named after the Hantan River in South Korea), sparking many conspiracy-style memes claiming the virus name is suspicious.
Note: Some native Hebrew speakers debate how common or exact the word is (some say it’s closer to “charta” for bullshit), but the slang usage for “scam/nonsense” is widely recognized in current Israeli Hebrew, especially online.
The Bee is 2-for-2 on their Hantavirus posts today.

New York beachgoers were greeted with what appears to be a grim anti-Cuomo banner in the sky Saturday.
“THE GOV KILLED NANA,” read the banner carried on a propeller plane that flew across New York City and Long Island beaches, according to accounts on social media.
That’s very interesting, thanks.
So true.
Joooooooz.. I knew it.
But where I grew up there was someone who would die from Hantavirus every couple years. Heck. They even mention it in the oddball movie “Trainspotting”
