Hantavirus outbreak not the start of a pandemic, WHO says

Available for 29 days

Five cases of hantavirus have now been confirmed in relation to an outbreak on a cruise ship, the World Health Organization (WHO) says, and more may follow due to the virus's six week incubation period. We answer audience questions on the virus and hear from cruise passengers previously trapped on ships. And we speak to two people with the rare skin condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa, after a sports fan in Australia was trolled online after a picture of him was shared online. Presenter: James Reynolds.
