R factor of 2.19!
And mortality of 35% to 50%!
Glad you made the distinction between Andes and ‘normal’ Hanta which they (mis)use to say it’s not so alarming.

I am certainly a bit concerned, especially how nonchalant they handle it, trusting on self-quarantine and this for 2 weeks less than is required for Andes virus.
