NPR: lack of U.S. response to hantavirus outbreak worries public health experts

Per NPR (May 8): 'Lack of U.S. response to hantavirus outbreak worries public health experts'. Public health experts cited concern that the federal response has been quieter than expected for a multi-country cluster of a hantavirus species (Andes) capable of human-to-human transmission. NPR notes contrast with the WHO posture (WHO chief travelling to Tenerife in person; daily situation updates). Companion narrative to The Hill's reporting that CDC EOC activated at Level 3 — the lowest tier — confirming the federal posture is intentionally measured.
