RE: https://mastodon.social/@mackayim2022/116541451662523548 "Current evidence does not suggest a highly transmissible pandemic scenario. ANDV [Andes virus] transmission dynamics differ fundamentally from highly transmissible respiratory viruses such as measles virus, influenza viruses or SARS-CoV-2. Current evidence does not suggest efficient transmission through casual community contact. However, outbreak investigations in Argentina and Chile show that ANDV transmission can occur during close and/or prolonged interpersonal contact." #Hantavirus
