Disclaimer

In an emergency: if you have a sudden onset of shortness of breath, chest tightness, severe headache, or any life-threatening symptom, contact local emergency services immediately. Do not delay medical care to consult this Site.

Not medical advice

HantaView is a general-information website. Nothing on this Site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The content describes publicly available guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and presents it for educational purposes.

Information on this Site is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Always seek the advice of a physician or other licensed clinician with any questions about a medical condition, exposure, or symptom.

No doctor–patient relationship

Use of this Site does not create a doctor–patient relationship between you and HantaView, its operators, or any contributor. We do not respond to individual medical questions, do not diagnose, and do not prescribe treatment. Emails sent to HantaView are not protected health information channels.

Accuracy and timeliness

HantaView aims to reflect current CDC, WHO, and PAHO guidance, and live outbreak figures are read directly from WHO Disease Outbreak Notices on a 6-hour refresh cycle. Even so:

  • Public health guidance evolves; the Site may not reflect the very latest update.
  • Outbreak counts change as new cases are confirmed or ruled out.
  • Automated parsing of WHO documents can miss nuance present in the original source.
  • News articles linked from the Site may contain errors or be retracted by their publishers.

For any time-sensitive or high-stakes decision, verify the figure or guidance against the primary source (WHO, CDC, PAHO, or your national public health authority) directly. Our Editorial Standards page describes our sourcing and review process in detail.

Third-party content

The Site links to third-party websites, including news articles aggregated from Google News, BBC News, the WHO news feed, and other outlets. HantaView does not control these third-party sites and is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or currency of their content. A link does not imply endorsement.

No affiliation with health authorities

HantaView is an independent project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Pan American Health Organization, or any other governmental or inter-governmental body. References to these organisations are for source attribution only.

Advertising

The Site may display third-party advertisements. Advertisements are placed by automated ad systems and are not selected or endorsed by HantaView. Advertised products and services are not vetted by us, do not constitute medical recommendations, and have no influence on the editorial content of the Site. See our Privacy Policy for advertising-related data practices.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, HantaView, its operators, and its contributors are not liable for any harm, loss, or damage arising from reliance on information on this Site. Use of the Site is at your own risk. See our Terms of Use for the full limitation of liability.

Corrections

If you have spotted an error — a wrong figure, an outdated guideline, a broken citation — please email hantaview@gmail.com. We acknowledge corrections within 48 hours and publish a fix as soon as the primary source confirms the correct information.
