Evaluation of Seoul orthohantavirus:

The article was poorly made, with grammatical inconsistencies and some nonsensical follow ups, such as saying that rats don't show physiological symptoms of carrying the virus, but humans can get it by exposure to bites, feces, etc. Things such as these do not follow. Viral transmission is not a "however" that follows symptoms in rats. I am tempted to make mild edits to fix some issues, but I do not want to somehow alter a possible reference. This article also has incomplete paragraphs and lacking citations on things such as the etymology of the name.

Draft of edits:

The article needs to be completely revamped. This virus is confusing. It is pandemic and is the only hantavirus to spread globally, but there is next to nothing about it.
