@TheMemeticist The most important factor in if something has pandemic potential is betweenness centrality. Poor people lack betweenness centrality. Betweenness centrality is mostly driven by rich individuals that have friend groups all over the world that they visit regularly.

[Ian M Mackay, PhD (he/him) @MackayIM]

Interesting clustering. Could the last 3 cases have caught their infection from a different case, not Case 1?

[Lindon Ross @lindorosso]

@MackayIM I think this is highly likely

@MackayIM With a median incubation period of 20 days I would argue that the last 2 infections are actually 2nd generation infections.

Osterholm on hantavirus: We’re missing ‘main point of this outbreak’

"Respiratory person-to-person transmission is not new with the Andes hantavirus," CIDRAP Director Michael Osterholm points out

Another important investigation here from 2018 in a returned traveler to the US who contracted #AndesVirus after traveling to Argentina and Chile. She traveled on two commercial flights while symptomatic. Among the 51 contacts they monitored (from flight, healthcare settings & others), they found no additional infections including on PCR and antibody testing.

"In any outbreak, the single most important question is: How does it spread? The answer informs the guidance for everything else, including how to stay safe, which protective measures to put in place, and who should be notified during contact tracing. Get it wrong and everything else breaks down." Me, for @TheAtlantic

@AuteurPhilippe @DrNeilStone Epuyen is a town of 2,000 people low population density, with regular prevention campaigns about the Andes virus. And the police inforced a draconian lockdown

[Lindon Ross @lindorosso]

@elizaclove @TragedyCalls It’s highly likely that it is airborne when it comes to human feces and urine. Just like the rodents and covid. And the reason we are seeing people still testing positive is due to the long incubation period up to 8 weeks. So expect up until 1 june people still becoming positive
