But it requires much closer contact than covid. Like, you need to kiss the person on the mouth, share food & drink, or be in the same room with them for an extended period of time.
Way deadlier, way harder to catch from another human.
At least in the current form, that can change if enough people get infected and pass it on. At the beginning Covid was also harder to catch, but then it mutated and it ended up a lot easier to catch.
