I have no clue. How can it pass from bird to human but then not from human to human? What has to happen for a virus that passes from one species to humans but not between humans, to become a virus that passes from human to human? I know it can happen when a pig gets a bird virus and the two together mutate into a third virus that can pass from swine to human and then human to human. But what happens in the virus that permits this to happen?
