I’ve just seen that the Hantavirus is in Liverpool?! They’ve been brought to Liverpool? I’ve got a 2 day work conference there and now I’m worried 😢 I suffer terribly with health anxiety. AIBU?

You are being totally irritational.

Hantavirus is not in the general population in Liverpool. An infectious diseases dedicated unit was used to manage the returning passengers. That happened to be in Liverpool but it has zero interaction with the local
population.

They’re in a specialist isolation unit at a hospital on the Wirral, there’s a nice big river between there and Liverpool

If I had to go up north Hantavirus would be the least of my worries.

They are being isolated and will have to leave by private transport to isolate for longer at home. You should be fine.
