The CDC Stacks recent additions page shows new National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System weekly tables dated 05/23/2026, with provisional weekly data collected locally under state, territorial, and local regulations. The page also lists coverage for United States, U.S. Territories, and Non-U.S. Residents, and includes Oropouche, non-congenital, and Hepatitis B, chronic, Probable. The useful part here is less drama than discipline: this is the machinery of surveillance, not a finished verdict.
Gobble's Take: Provisional data can be messy, but it’s the kind of messy that tells you where the tracking lights are blinking.

CIDRAP’s homepage includes a quote from Osterholm saying, “The good news, in a sense, is that it is hantavirus and not another coronavirus or an influenza virus.” The same quote says hantavirus has “very limited ability to be transmitted person to person,” and that “we have no question about the fact that this really is on the end of its run right now.” That is the clearest official-style framing in this pack: narrow transmission, and an outbreak thought to be winding down.
Gobble's Take: In outbreak land, “limited ability to be transmitted person to person” is the sentence that keeps the headline from running wild.
