A transmission, which cannot be completely ruled out, would only be possible through very intimate contact with an infected animal.

An infection of humans, which theoretically cannot be ruled out, could probably only occur with very intimate contact to infected animals.

Although another type of mammal has been affected, the basic assessment of the infection situation remains unchanged.

There's something about watching an animal that puts you in contact with where we came from and what we're still a part of.

It's a completely novel virus. Nobody has ever had it before, so when you come in contact with it, you get sick.

Even if transmission can be eliminated now in humans, there likely is an animal reservoir out there which means it can be reintroduced into humans at any time.
