A simple but viable human model of transmission is available in the
computer world.
Look at how quickly a computer virus spreads from a single infection...
sent unknown to everyone on your email short list... who then sends it to
all their "special friends"... [ie personal contact]...
Within a very short time, hundreds of thousands of computers are infected
and servers are down...

This weaponized virus has much the same transmission.
