Argentina town hit by Hantavirus outbreak; 10 dead
UPI reports: "A southwestern province in Argentina has been hit by what appears to be
a Hantavirus epidemic that's killed ten people and sickened more than
two dozen. [...] Hantavirus outbreaks have been seen in Argentina in
recent years, with nearly 600 cases between 2013 and 2018 that killed
111 people. The mortality rate in the new breakout appears to be higher
and has authorities concerned, El Pais reported."
Comment: This is a relatively unfamiliar virus to many of us, but it is nonetheless a very dangerous and deadly disease.
