[OC] I built a live map tracking the Andes hantavirus cruise ship outbreak auto-synced with WHO every 15 minutes
Live map auto-synced with the WHO Disease Outbreak News API every 15 minutes. Everything you see is parsed directly from WHO's official article.
What the map tracks:
- Current 8 total cases · 6 lab-confirmed Andes virus · 3 deaths · CFR 38%
- Every location color-coded by its role: confirmed clinical sites, exposure investigation countries, medical evacuation routes, laboratory response points
- Automatically detects what changed between WHO updates (e.g. +1 confirmed case, added Switzerland")
- Filters out unrelated hantavirus subtypes (Hantaan, Seoul, HFRS) that appear in WHO background text
Why Andes virus is different from other hantaviruses:
It's the only hantavirus strain with confirmed human-to-human transmission. Every other strain requires direct rodent contact. A cruise ship closed environment, hundreds of passengers is about as high-contact as it gets.
Built as a situational awareness tool, not to alarm. WHO currently assesses global population risk as LOW.
