Good opinion piece in the BMJ: "Hantavirus outbreak should reset WHO’s default approach to airborne risk"
"Therefore, WHO should change its default response. For pathogens with documented person-to-person spread and severe outcomes, the initial assumption should be airborne risk unless and until evidence supports easing back. The burden of proof should not be on those arguing for caution. It should be on those arguing to relax it."
