When reports emerged of suspected human to human transmission of the Andes virus, memories of the early days of COVID-19 were never far from public consciousness: Cruise ships, quarantine protocols, international evacuations, alarmist headlines. But according to Bryce Warner, the scientific reality is profoundly different. Joining us from the University of Saskatchewan, Warner offered a measured but unequivocal assessment of the outbreak, framing the current cases within decades of virological evidence while pushing back against pandemic comparisons. As Warner explains, \u201cthe Andes virus is the only hantavirus where we&#8217;ve had previous documented human to human transmission,\u201d but he immediately tempers the alarm with a crucial scientific distinction: \u201cthat transmission efficiency is still pretty low.\u201d<br \/>\n#Hantavirus #Health #COVID<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd14 Subscribe to France 24 now: https:\/\/f24.my\/YTen<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd34 LIVE &#8211; Watch FRANCE 24 English 24\/7 here: https:\/\/f24.my\/YTliveEN<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf0d Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook: https:\/\/f24.my\/FBen<br \/>\nFollow us on X: https:\/\/f24.my\/Xen<br \/>\nBluesky: https:\/\/f24.my\/BSen and Threads: https:\/\/f24.my\/THen<br \/>\nBrowse the news in pictures on Instagram: https:\/\/f24.my\/IGen<br \/>\nDiscover our TikTok videos: https:\/\/f24.my\/TKen<br \/>\nGet the latest top stories on Telegram: https:\/\/f24.my\/TGen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hantavirus vs. Covid: Low transmission efficiency means far less risk of another widespread outbreak Genie Godula is pleased&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[33,18707,22,23,61,20,21,23601,1186,497,1087,23678,23699],"class_list":{"0":"post-25544","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-france24","8":"tag-africa","9":"tag-cape-verde","10":"tag-france-24","11":"tag-france-24-english","12":"tag-france-24-guest","13":"tag-france24","14":"tag-france24-english","15":"tag-hantavirus","16":"tag-health","17":"tag-science","18":"tag-travel","19":"tag-virus","20":"tag-who"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/116566394340035582","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
