This week,\u00a0the Guardian<\/a> published an article reporting that\u00a0a French woman aboard the MV Hondius \u2014 the ship at the center of the hantavirus outbreak \u2014 reported her hantavirus symptoms to doctors onboard, but she was told it was probably stress or anxiety. However, the morning of May 12, the paper took down the article, with the note that the article \u201cwas removed after the Guardian was notified of a fundamental misunderstanding of remarks from Javier Padilla Bern\u00e1ldez. The Spanish health secretary had been describing a separate case involving a person who was not confirmed to have hantavirus, not the French woman who had tested positive after evacuation from the ship.\u201d Honestly, phew!<\/p>\n
