Extra: Avoiding COVID Mistakes As The World Responds To Hantavirus
The deadly Hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean last month continues to keep people on edge worldwide.
U.S. health officials are monitoring dozens of people across the country for symptoms. Eighteen of them were on the Dutch cruise ship and are being quarantined in health facilities in Omaha and Atlanta.
When reports of the outbreak began, many were reminded of the 2020 pandemic, when COVID-19 caused worldwide lockdowns, economic turmoil, and millions of deaths.
But while officials across the globe are concerned about the spread of hantavirus, most are confident this will not be a repeat of the crisis the world faced six years ago.
Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield is one of those experts who says, “This is not COVID.” He joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the alarm the hantavirus is causing.
He explained how hantavirus spreads and why it can be dangerous for those who are infected. He also explained how it's different from COVID, which was a mystery at the time. Redfield also discussed the mistakes made during the COVID crisis and how learning from them will help the world deal with future outbreaks.
We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Dr. Robert Redfield.

President Trump Says China Offered Help In Ending Iran Conflict
President Trump returns from his high-stakes talks with Beijing and says that Chinese leader Xi Jinping offered to help negotiate an end to the Iranian conflict and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. China is the biggest buyer of oil and gas that passes through the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Iranian news agencies claim a few Chinese commercial ships were being allowed through the strait.
FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Justin Fulcher, former senior advisor to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who says the meeting was a first step in bettering relations with China, and the only way to move forward is with more open dialogue between the two countries.

Business Rundown: Stolen Innovation & the Cost of Doing Business with China
“Very successful” is how President Trump is describing his historic state visit to China. He says China not only offered to help broker an end to the Iran conflict, but could also invest hundreds of billions of dollars into U.S. companies.
From soybeans to jets, Trump says China’s President Xi Jinping promised to buy more American goods, with Xi reportedly saying China would, quote, “open wider” to U.S. companies.
Some of that money could flow into U.S. tech giants, with CEOs including Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and Jensen Huang joining the president in Beijing. But should corporate America be careful?
For years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been accused of stealing American technology, intellectual property, and data—using U.S. innovation to fuel China’s own rise.
David Shedd, the former Acting Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and co-author of The Great Heist: China’s Epic Campaign to Steal America’s Secrets, joins FOX Business Network’s Lydia Hu to discuss the risks U.S. companies take when doing business with China, the CCP’s decades-long history of stealing America’s advancements, and what businesses can do to protect their most precious secrets.

How Much Pressure Can China Put On Iran?
China is the biggest buyer of oil and gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the White House is saying both President Trump and Chinese President Xi agreed the key waterway must remain open. The discussions also focused on trade and how to better it between the two nations, and will test whether diplomacy can translate into progress on the divisions that define the U.S.–China relationship.
FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Jack Burnham, senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ (FDD’s) China Program, who says with China's support of Iran, they won't be pressing Tehran into anything that makes them lose control of the country.
