Tim Pool believes that the news coverage of the hantavirus is driven by a lack of other stories rather than the severity of the virus itself.

“I can confirm desperate newsrooms around the globe are running this story and screeching like banshees cuz there was just nothing else to really talk about.”

There is currently zero evidence that the public should be alarmed about hantavirus or that it will cause a pandemic.

“Do not be taken in by the media panic that is currently happening about hantavirus because there is no evidence at this point. Now, the evidence can change, but at this point there is zero evidence that you should be freaked out about this hantavirus.”

Auron MacIntyre claims the reported outbreak of hantavirus is unremarkable and is being exaggerated by desperate news organizations.

“I did my research and I found that this hantavirus outbreak they're calling it is unremarkable. And actually, the past several years have been substantially worse than whatever this is.”
