So what's the story here then? Will I catch it?
My understanding, which of course could be utterly wrong, is that its a concern in terms of the fact there's a virus that is transmitting in a way that it previously wasn't but it seems unlikely to become a global concern. Its a DNA virus so quite different to something like Covid. They tend to mutate much more slowly. I think the worst case scenario that people are considering is something akin to the various localised Ebola outbreaks. Which admitedly isn't great....but i don't think anybody is worried about it becoming a full on pandemic.
