If you're actually panicking over this, your brain is broken. There's been a handful of cases of a disease that's been around for a long time. It's totally irrational to spend any time worrying about it. The fearmonging is predictable, but also retarded.

Essentially, 2-3 people may have unfortunately died from a virus that has been around probably at least as long as humans.
The news story is that it was made into an international news story.
Yesterday, about 4000 people died of TB, and 2000 children died of malaria. The same news services missed it.

Hantaviruses: Virology and Clinical Presentation
Virology
Hantaviruses are enveloped, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses belonging to the family Hantaviridae (order Bunyavirales). Their genome is segmented into three parts (S, M, and L) encoding the nucleocapsid protein, two glycoproteins (Gn and Gc), and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, respectively. Unlike most other bunyaviruses, hantaviruses are not arthropod-borne; instead, each viral species is associated with a specific rodent (or occasionally shrew or bat) reservoir host, in which infection is persistent and asymptomatic. Humans are accidental hosts, typically infected through inhalation of aerosolized excreta (urine, feces, saliva) from infected rodents. Person-to-person transmission is rare, with the notable exception of Andes virus in South America.
Clinical Presentation
Hantavirus infections in humans cause two main clinical syndromes, divided roughly along Old World/New World lines.
Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS) is caused predominantly by Old World hantaviruses such as Hantaan, Seoul, Puumala, and Dobrava viruses. After an incubation period of roughly 1–4 weeks, illness classically progresses through five phases: febrile, hypotensive, oliguric, diuretic, and convalescent. Symptoms include fever, headache, back and abdominal pain, conjunctival injection, petechiae, and acute kidney injury, sometimes with hemorrhagic manifestations. Severity varies widely, with Hantaan and Dobrava causing more severe disease (case fatality up to 5–15%) and Puumala causing a milder form known as nephropathia epidemica.
Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome (HCPS) is caused by New World hantaviruses, most notably Sin Nombre virus in North America and Andes virus in South America. After a 1–5 week incubation, patients experience a nonspecific prodrome of fever, myalgias, and gastrointestinal symptoms lasting several days, followed by abrupt onset of cough, dyspnea, and rapidly progressive noncardiogenic pulmonary edema due to capillary leak. Cardiogenic shock often follows in severe cases. Case fatality is high, around 35–40%, and treatment is largely supportive, with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) used in severe cases.
Laboratory clues common to both syndromes include thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis with a left shift, elevated hematocrit (from hemoconcentration), and the presence of immunoblasts on peripheral smear. Diagnosis is confirmed by serology (IgM/IgG) or RT-PCR. No specific antiviral therapy is approved, though ribavirin has shown some benefit in HFRS if given early.

The Hantavirus Theater Continues: Fear Over Facts, and Why We Already Have Solutions
A Measured Look at What the Press Got Wrong (And What They Got Right, More or Less) By Robert W. Malone, MD, MS · Chief Medical Officer, Curativa Bay

Your odds of being struck by lightning are more than seven times greater than getting Hantavirus in the USA.
About 250 people get struck by lightening each year.
There are about 35 cases per year of Hantavirus in the UEA, with about 12 deaths per year on average.
Obviously, Hantavirus shouldn't be a big concern for the vast majority of Americans.
