    One of the reasons how deadly it is correlates to lower spreading is just how quickly deadly things kill.

    If something like the original SARS had a 7 day infectious window before killing you things would have been very different.

    I’d be interested to know how quickly it incapacitates humans, and how long you’re infectious for.

    Edit: changed infectious window, accidentally used a incubation period by mistake.
