>> High lethality is often associated with reduced transmissibility.

I think the scariest combo would be long incubation time + transmissibility while asymptomatic + high lethality when symptoms appear. This type of virus would spread far and wide before it’s detected, and would also be very deadly.



I mean HIV is this type of virus. It's not airborne though.
