## Resource

Ep. 331 - Congratulations, You Don't Have Hantavirus (Probably) Eleven people on the planet have hantavirus. The CDC calls the risk "very, very low." The media has labeled it a crisis. Brad Sheafe is slightly more skeptical about a disease you'd have to wallow in rat droppings to contract. Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines is having a week, the Pentagon has released thousands of UFO affidavits featuring aircraft that defy known physics, and Bigfoot is back in Northeast Ohio. The aliens won't make contact. The Sasquatch won't give an interview. And the people actually running this country can't manufacture a semiconductor. At this point, the creatures hiding in the woods might be onto something.
