Mogućnost pojave novog virusa samo nekoliko dana nakon što se Kina počela oporavljati od posljedica koronavirusa izazvala je paniku u svijetu, što je najviše vidljivo na društvenim mrežama, gdje je aktuelan hashtag "hantavirus".
The #Hantavirus first emerged in 1950s in the American-Korean war in Korea (Hantan river). It spreads from rat/mice if humans injest their body fluids. Human-human transmission is rare. There were even vaccines developed for it. Please do not panic, unless you plan to eat rats.

"Molimo vas da ne paničite, osim ukoliko planirate jesti štakore", poručila je u svom tvitu švedska naučnica Sumaiya Shaikh.
