I think the larger point is to the issue of monkeypox. If there had been human-human transmission, we may have had an epidemic. Without that element, it was going to die out as there were just so many infected animal sources available, and you had to have direct contact with one to get sick.

I don't see West Nile Virus dying out and that is not spread human to human.
