"Hebrew Slang 'Hanta' Means Scam. A casual question about a Hebrew word led to a wave of surprised reactions when users learned 'hanta'—the root of hantavirus—translates to 'scam' or 'fraud' in Israeli slang."

Read this this morning. Interesting.

@Kuronekko so what? You believe that the hantaviridae family were so named purely to fool the world at some point in the indeterminate future? I'm sure you could let the victims' loved ones know that they didn't actually die - it's all a con.

@Waveney So it's probably just another scam?
