lyrics

Hantavirus is a family of worldwide ​viruses that have been documented as far back as 12th century China, named after the Hantan river in South Korea uh. Orthohantavirus, the most common strain, affects rodents as well as humans. The disease is usually spread to humans through contact with rodent urine or feces, and some varieties can be fatal if contracted. No vaccine has yet been developed, and virologists recommend making sure that areas with high traffic are kept clean and free from vermin. With an incubation period of two to four weeks, the illness can spread quickly and effectively. In 1993, an epidemic of hantavirus broke out in the four corners region of North America. With a mortality rate of 50%, the outbreak killed 13 people. While asymptomatic in rodents, hantavirus can cause many ​symptoms for infected humans. There are two predominant strains of hantavirus: a Eurasian strain that mostly attacks the renal system, and an American strain that mostly attacks the pulmonary system. Common symptoms in Europe and Asia include high fever, chills, headache, backache, abdominal pains, nausea uh, and vomiting. After a short time, bleeding under the skin begins to occur. Compounded with the low blood pressure that is common with victims, this usually leads to extensive internal bleeding, culminating in kidney failure and death. Common symptoms in America are initially similar to the European variety. After a short time, there is a sudden onset of progressively intense coughing, shortness of breath, and elevated heart rate due to fluid buildup in the lungs. Within a few weeks, half of those who contract hantavirus pass away due to cardiovascular shock.
