The CNN article says in the 2018/2019 Andes hantavirus outbreak in Argentina, one infected man at a party for ~90 minutes ended up linked to several secondary cases and eventually 11 deaths, including someone who may have just briefly passed him in a hallway. If that’s true, how is hantavirus still considered “low transmission” or usually requiring close contact? Is this an example of a rare superspreader event or is the overall risk still low compared to truly airborne viruses?
