Hantavirus Response: The MV Hondius outbreak keeps moving—20 British nationals plus a German UK resident and a Japanese passenger are now being assessed at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral, with testing “well under way.” They’ll stay about three days there, then continue isolating for another 42 days. Nebraska Quarantine Update: In the U.S., 16 Americans are isolating at Nebraska’s National Quarantine Unit, while two others are in biocontainment at Emory in Atlanta after evacuation from the ship. Public Health Messaging: Officials and experts are pushing a clear distinction from COVID-19, stressing the risk to the general public is “very, very low,” even as questions grow about how Andes hantavirus spreads. Local Tech & Science: UNL plant scientist Edgar Cahoon was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and UNL’s digital humanities center announced its 2026 summer fellows cohort. Energy Costs: Trump says he’ll seek to suspend the federal gasoline tax to blunt fuel-price pressure tied to the Iran war.
