Description
Is the Hantavirus outbreak heading in the same direction as the Covid 19 global pandemic? It’s unlikely according to biologist Matt Ridley. However there are reasons to be concerned. Natasha Feroze speaks to Matt about the nature of this specific Hantavirus strain, the dangers of delayed symptoms, track and tracing and why the head of the WHO has used this story as a chance to play political football.
