It's usually from rodents and pretty rare. And apparently deadly.

I'm not going to get stressed about this.. we'll all die of anxiety at this rate and not Covid-19.

I\d never heard about it until I read about this the other day, but as most people aren't going to be drinking rat urine, I think we have enough on our plate to worry about right now... ..

Hantavirus now! Oh NO!!!

I've heard of it, it's most prevalent here in the Southwest region, New Mexico mainly. All you have to do is breathe the dust from disturbed mouse droppings. It's kind of rare, though, I don't know a lot about it.

Yes, there was a whole big hoo ha about it some years ago in our SW.

New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona are the worst

I remember that!

Oh, we've had plenty and there will be plenty more. And the bigger the population, the more and severe will be the pandemics. Read this below, try not to get depressed.

Yup, it has been here in New Mexico for years. Mostly up in the northern part of the state, but only one kind of mouse (deer mouse) spreads it and that mouse only lives in a certain environment, so it is fairly rare.

Every year we have one or two cases of bubonic plague also.

I had to look up the ''deer mouse'', and they are so cute! Yeah, I like rodents, too. Deer mice are 3.8 inches long.

Years ago when there was much reporting about the hantavirus I got all wrapped around the axle about it when I saw a mouse in my house (I get a couple of them just about every year when the weather starts to get cold). I talked to my regular exterminator service guy about it and he enlightened me about the fact that it's not the normal field mice that sometimes make their way into our homes here, but only that deer mouse. So I scraped myself off the ceiling and calmed down about the whole thing.

Hantavirus has been around a long time. I remember when it was first made public. I doubt it will have anywhere near the impact the Corona virus is having.

I think it’s in Utah as well, got to spray the droppings first then clean them up. Yes, deer mice, but not dear mice.
