This is no big deal. Cannot spread human to human, only rat to human.

For now. Until some scientist gene edits it to include aspects of the common cold. Recominant viruses are and will continue to be the new plagues.

Right on cue. Just as people are realizing we massively overreacted to the novel coronavirus, and right after President Trump encouraged America to go back to work after the Easter holiday, the media starts pumping the new spectre:

(cue sCaRy mUsIc: dum-dum-DUMMMMMM! )

HANTAVIRUS!

Oh noes! Run in fear! Lock down everything! Close churches (heh, heh, not abortion clinics)!!!! Eleventy11!!!!

This could be a problem in California where the growth of the homeless population has led to an expansion of the rat population. The California tree rat is the same species that carried the bubonic plague in Europe during the Middle Ages.

If they are not regularly pruned, the fronds of Washington and Mexican fan palms, found all over Southern California, will die but remain hanging from the trunk and accumulate in layers. Rats love to inhabit these, as they did the thatched roofs of medieval European houses.

The fatality rate is 37%. It will spread exponentially. The hospitals will be overloaded. We only have a few weeks to stop it. Everyone can be saved if we shit down everything for a few months and allow the government to run our lives.

We do not know how this disease will progress so we need to enforce the precautionary principle because even if it saves one life it will be worth it.

Is China trying to get back in the good graces of the global community by giving us enough warning for impending calamity?

China - breeding, creating and spreading deadly diseases to the rest of the world for centuries.
