BostonGlobe: experts wonder "Where is the CDC?" as hantavirus outbreak unfolds

Per BostonGlobe (May 9): 'Amid hantavirus outbreak, experts question the CDC's response.' Article title pinned phrase: 'Experts wonder "Where is the CDC?"'. Echoes a parallel STAT News piece (May 9): 'CDC takes back seat to WHO' on the MV Hondius response. Critical framing: a multi-country Andes virus cluster with documented human-to-human transmission warrants more visible federal leadership than has been observed; while CDC issued HAN 528 + a situation summary + a press release, the public-facing posture has been notably quieter than during prior outbreaks. Counterbalanced by the federal operational facts: EOC at Level 3 (lowest), CDC team to Canary Islands May 7, UNMC monitoring arrangements in place.
