⚠️ Geometric Spread Estimate

Based on nearest-neighbor analysis (Epuyén similarity=0.649), the engine predicts this outbreak follows the confined H2H superspreader archetype.

Predicted secondary cases18-42
Predicted CFR (with care)20-30%
Containment windowQuarantine effective

Estimate derived from L2 geometric nearest-neighbor to Epuyén 2018 cluster. Not a clinical prediction.

What This Proves

The computational engine structurally separates human-to-human competent outbreaks from zoonotic-only outbreaks using distance metrics alone. Cross-group distance is 17% greater than within-group distance — with only 8 entities.

Hondius Timeline

Based on Epuyén archetype (L2=0.649) · Serial interval 18-35d

Apr 1, 2026
Departure from Ushuaia
170 passengers, MV Hondius departs for Antarctic expedition
Apr 8-14, 2026
Index Case Symptomatic
First passenger develops fever, myalgia — 7-14d post-exposure
Apr 19 – May 5
Generation 1 — Confirmed (12 cases)
Serial interval 18-21d from index. 3 deaths. Ship quarantined, passengers disembarked.
May 7 – May 26
Generation 2 — Est. 6-18 secondary
Repatriated passengers in home countries. Incubation window closes ~May 26. Close contacts of Gen 1.
May 25 – Jun 10
Generation 3 — Est. 2-8 tertiary
Household/healthcare contacts of Gen 2. R₀ should be <1 if quarantine holds (Epuyén model).
Jun 10 – Jun 30
Containment Window
If Gen 3 <5 cases → outbreak self-limits. Epuyén resolved in 4 generations (~90 days).

If Contained ✅

Duration: 75-100d
Total cases: 18-42
Deaths: 4-10
Resolution: ~Jun 15

If Uncontained ❌

R₀ sustained: 2.12
Gen 4+ cases: 80-200
Deaths: 20-60
Spread: Multi-nation

⚠️ Spread Potential — Repatriation Risk

170 passengers repatriated to USA, UK, EU, Australia/NZ. Each carries a 14-21 day incubation window. If Gen 2 cases emerge in home countries without isolation, R₀=2.12 seeds independent transmission chains in healthcare-naive populations.

At-risk contacts per repatriated case: ~15-30
Undetected seeding probability: 8-15% per nation
Multi-country outbreak threshold: >3 independent chains

Temporal model: Epuyén 2018 lasted 87 days, 34 cases across 4 generations. Geometric similarity (L2=0.649) suggests analogous trajectory.

⚠️ COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH ONLY — This model uses 1024-dimensional geometric similarity to compare outbreak transmission architectures. It does not replace epidemiological surveillance or clinical judgment. All spread estimates are derived from L2 nearest-neighbor geometry, not predictive modeling.
