In reply to the discussion: 17 American passengers aboard hantavirus-hit cruise ship will quarantine in Nebraska [View all]1) I wonder what you mean by "taking care of this one" ?
and
2) could it be as simple as: hantavirus has a known history in this country and Korea, especially, and Trump might have heard of it, or his advisors told him this one was real, and deadly.
vs.
The Covid-19 virus seemed to come out of nowhere, or Wuhan, China, and Trump's suspicious nature assumed it was caused by people who do not like Trump, so he discounted the reality of the virus. He can't do that with the hantavirus.
But, oops, over a million Americans died from Covid. At least 7 million certifiable deaths worldwide.

OP
Trump is actually taking care of this one, unlike COVID, which he ignored until it became a pandemic.

If you read something too fast it gets weird: I wondered how a ship could be quarantined in *Nebraska*

Seems extreme for a virus that while transmissable human to human it is highly unlikely. Hope in all that movement...

Old enough to remember Trump and right wing media going bonkers about that Ebola nurse

I'm not sure what you mean: Trump and the right wing media heavily criticized Obama for the Ebola response

So? Trump commented on it as did the right wing media, which is what my post said

If I was a passenger I'd rather quarantine at Tenerife rather than Nebraska !
