Jolie Gan joins MTS to discuss the hantavirus outbreak from the cruise ship, the structural biological differences between hantavirus and COVID-19, and what 30 years of data tells us about pandemic potential. Gann breaks down the criteria that distinguish an outbreak from an epidemic or pandemic, explains why respiratory transmission would require specific mutations, and addresses the skepticism people rightfully have given COVID misinformation in the early days.
