Only time will tell, as now it has been reported that incubation can be as long as 90 days, people that have been successfully treated can remain carriers and, maybe the reason it is more spread this time, is because people from the initial outbreak areas are more mobile and not as, “homely” as they once were. Granted as one gets closer to 90 days, the contagion becomes less reactive. It is still a possibility to remain aware of.
A lot of ifs, and a lot of unknowns, but I do not disagree with your post.
Sure would like to see that link. Are you sure it wasn't from a fictional work?
