- wffurr 6y agoIt's possible there is only mink-to-human transmission and not human-to-human. This was the case for MERS, which was contained in part by culling chickens.
- fartzzz 6y agoIt is believed that some of the cases (all?) didnt have any contact with minks and therefore was human-to-human

- fartzzz 6y agoI cannot find anything online, but it was mentioned by Kåre mølbak in the press conference

- IAmGraydon 6y agoThose cases are the original virus, not the new mink mutated one. It was just spread by the mink population.
