How does a virus that's pretty good at spreading through humans but not yet amazing at spreading through humans stay in an isolated region for months or even years?
- mcguire 4y agoWhat does "isolated region" mean to you?
- Consultant32452 4y agoThe example given by the other poster is rural Hubei.
- lamontcg 4y agoI don't think it would, and I don't know why you'd think I'm suggesting that.
- Consultant32452 4y ago>I tend to think it was circulating in rural Hubei, probably coinfecting domestic animals and people, getting better and better at infecting people until the market event happened which was where it found a densely packed human population where it spread with R0 significantly greater than 1 and took off. How would a virus that's medium good at infecting humans, but not yet amazing at infecting humans, stay in rural Hubei for years without escaping?
