Why is nobody talking about this? Every time I hear people talk about how they sequenced the virus and it’s 99% identical to the one from the 2018 outbreak, but now I’m hearing that after sequencing they found that everybody has now is clade 3, when the one in 2018 is clade 2 and only clade 2 Hantaviruses is supposed to h2h transmissible, and we have confirmed h2h transmission. Also Clade 3 Hantaviruses aren’t supposed to be in South America, so how did it get there? Doesn’t this make it a novel virus now? Why is nobody here on or on the news talking about this? Are they trying to cover it up to avoid mass panic? Or is the clade information wrong? What is going on, why is there no real information anywher?
