"It's a shame, the medical journal doesn't mention how long the incubation period of the virus is," Jiang Xiao frowned.
"Is that important?" Shi Shi looked up and asked.
"Yes, it can be said to be extremely important!"
Normal people would think a virus's power mainly lies in its potency and modes of transmission.
But they often overlook an extremely important factor: the incubation period.
"I've played a game called 'Plague Inc.'"
Jiang Xiao spoke slowly, as if to impart knowledge to the young Shi Shi.
In 'Plague Inc.,' a virus can develop towards high contagiousness or high lethality.
But usually, it's high contagiousness first, then high lethality.
Because if a virus is highly lethal from the start, the initial hosts will all die, stopping it from spreading any further.
Like if the virus infects person A, but before A can infect person B, A dies, then the transmission ends there.
