Has it spread human to human? I thought that was a new thing.

It does with this strain/variant which is why this story is newsworthy. But the usual one does not. There have been localized outbreaks of this one in the past but never a worldwide pandemic.

The andes strain has been around for some time and can be transmitted from person to person but it requires long term exposure and liquid exchange. If it spread it would be very slow to do so.
