It’s Virginia, Colorado, and Texas.

The main discovery here is an additional 6 mice species as hosts of hantavirus that were previously unknown.

    How would you get a pandemic from a disease which doesn’t spread from person to person? There would have to be an awful lot of infected rodents around.

        Hah, yes. That was a little while ago, though. Surely we could do better rodent eradication these days.

          Lol. Sadly no we don’t do much better at rodent elimination these days. Our sanitation/cleanliness of our living spaces are the primary improvements that prevent things like the bubonic.
