QUESTION OF THE DAY: Is the hantavirus outbreak getting the right amount of attention?
Matthew Sanders
The hantavirus outbreak among members of a cruise ship has garnered extensive coverage from national and international media.
Health officials continue to identify more cases from the outbreak aboard the MV Hondius. The latest came this weekend, when a Canadian passenger tested positive for the virus. Three people have died so far and dozens across the United States, including in Kansas, are being monitored for symptoms.
Experts say the public shouldn’t be too worried about hantavirus right now, but should keep alert to the latest developments related to the outbreak.
