XMRV - easily transmitted?

[Guest guest]

I can't find the original email that contained the section you quoted

below, but I think it actually contained the word NOT...as in

" ... NOT a virus that may be transmitted by a handshake.... "

But that's just my recollection.

Have you read that XMRV is potentially that contagious? If it's that

easily transmitted, wouldn't more people be sick, and wouldn't the

percentage of healthy people testing positive for it be higher?
