re: #348 Hecuba’s daughter

She may be defining contagious as airborne; you are not going to pick up HPV by walking past someone who is sneezing or shaking hands with someone infected.

i tried to allude to that up top - her ‘contagious’ meant spread direct person to person

so i asked what about fleas (plague) and mosquitoes (malaria)?
granted those two arent much of an issue in the United States

what’s the public policy on infections whose vectors are not direct person to person?
