There were cases in Argentina in 1996 that AI says were the first proven examples of human to human transmission.

50% fatality rate.

So this thing has been capable of human to human transmission for 30 years and has a 50% fatality rate? How are any of us still alive?

---

One, it's still up for debate.

Two, an infectious disease with a mortality rate that high generally makes people too sick and kills them too fast for it to be widely transmissible. Combine that with a pathogen that lacks robust transmission virulence factors and it's never going to result in widespread transmission.

Unless Fauci and his boys decided to do some gain of function research on it "just in case".

Next time ask AI for its source and post that. Instead of telling us all what "AI says"
