    The idea of human-to-human transmission is not some kind of fringe media panic. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that it could be human-to-human.

    “We do believe ‌that there may ⁠be some human-to-human transmission that’s happening among the really close contacts, the husband and wife, people who have shared cabins,” Maria Van Kerkhove, the director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention at the WHO, told reporters in Geneva.

    It’s just that the spread would likely be limited, unlike COVID which is highly transmissible.

      The thing you quote is a completely different situation than what the press is pushing around.

        Care to share with the class? Is the Lügenpresse in the room with us right now? I just linked to “the press” who were pushing that WHO quote around.
