How to use transmissible in a sentence?

1. Anthony Fauci:

   We are already in a Delta surge. I mean, the cases are going up, and then you have, looking over your shoulder, the Omicron variant, which we know from what's going on in South Africa and in the UK, is a highly transmissible virus.

2. Linsey Marr:

   Things are tough right now with Delta because we've heard how transmissible it is and how people who are vaccinated can carry high loads of virus in their noses. But I think we can be reassured that the vaccines still provide excellent protection against hospitalization, serious cases of illness... We know what works and, [ even ] with a more transmissible virus, those things still work : the masks, the distancing, ventilation, filtration and avoiding crowds, we just need to make sure we are even more vigilant about them.

3. Chris Whitty:

   In terms of the medium-term, my expectation is that we will get a further winter surge, late autumn/winter surge, and that is because we know that winter and autumn favor respiratory viruses, and therefore it’d be very surprising if this particular highly transmissible respiratory virus was not also favored.

4. Mark Woolhouse:

   Travel restrictions can delay but not prevent the spread of a highly transmissible variant.

5. Marc Siegel:

   The reason that the delta variant is winning out is because of how transmissible [it is], it’s not like some deadly version of this is going to compete and beat out the delta variant; the only thing that could take over from the delta variant is one that’s more contagious...I don’t see this changing enough so it suddenly reinfects everybody that's already had it, and eludes the vaccine.
