NYT: experts say slow US hantavirus response signals weakened pandemic readiness post-WHO withdrawal

A New York Times analysis published May 8 reports public health experts criticizing the CDC response to the MV Hondius cluster as slow, partly attributing the lag to the United States formal withdrawal from the WHO on January 22 2026, which has degraded CDC access to early multilateral notification channels. Quoted expert Stephanie Psaki said "We should be able to deal collectively with a hantavirus outbreak much more quickly and effectively than this is happening."
