Yes this is scary, but don’t let yourself spiral too much. Human-to-human transmission requires prolonged close contact, meaning it would be MUCH less contagious than COVID and thus easier to contain and prevent outbreaks

It’s actually been a frequent throughout history that diseases and viruses worsen and spread rapidly to different locations due to boats. Some key examples would be the Bubonic Plague, Spanish Flu, Smallpox and COVID. Transmitting disease was relatively common back in the day due to unsanitary conditions, but even today disease can still spread from prolonged exposure and cramped areas, just like what #35 said.
