    None of what you just said is accurate for the Andes variant, which is the entire point of the video you didn't watch or any of the comments you didn't read....

    None of what you just said is accurate for the Andes variant

    But it is.

    There is poor evidence andes spreads person-to-person.

    Here's a recent meta analysis summary you won' t read.

    And here is the conclusions, from 22 studies, not one from some quack looking to be famous.

    Results: Twenty-two studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneity. With the exception of 1 prospective cohort study of ANDV in Chile with serious risk of bias, evidence from comparative studies (strongest level of evidence available) does not support human-to-human transmission of hantavirus infection. Noncomparative studies with a critical risk of bias suggest that human-to-human transmission of ANDV may be possible.

    Conclusions: The balance of the evidence does not support the claim of human-to-human transmission of ANDV. Well-designed cohort and case-control studies that control for co-exposure to rodents are needed to inform public health recommendations.
