There are many hantaviruses. Does "the Hantavirus" refer to the specific Andes virus strain that caused the MV Hondis outbreak or does any member of the Orthohantavirus genus (or even the whole Hantaviridae family) count?
@AIBear This matters because fpr the Hantaan virus alone "9,000–12,000 cases occur each year in China" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hantaan_virus) and there is an approved vaccine and few others in the pipeline for some hantaviruses other than the Andes virus.
