Thanks to the NBC Entertainment Today Show and Savannah Guthrie for their in-depth look at the NEJM 2018-19 Andes Virus study and for interviewing me on my thoughts here. Yes, this study did show that an infectious case of #AndesVirus can transmit to 5-10 additional people in crowded social settings. Yes, it is one study but it is also a clear counter-example to the "no spread from casual contact" narrative. We should be open about what is possible even if it doesn't happen all the time or with every case. Disease transmission has many factors involved, including how much virus the person is shedding at the time. #Hantavirus

Interviewed here on CNN regarding the #AndesVirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship. I bring up a slightly different perspective on the role of the cruise ship. The cruise itself likely helped us detect that an outbreak was happening at all because it allows for a clear pattern detection in a confined environment. When you have a pathogen with a long incubation period, once people start traveling, if the secondary cases are not close in space and time to the index case, it can become much harder to make the initial diagnosis and subsequent diagnoses. Furthermore, I am also surprised that there is so much variability on the approach that different countries and states are taking to quarantine. There needs to be uniformity, leaning toward the most conservative approach.
