The lethality of a virus / biological weapon has an effect of the transmission and spread. If the virus is too virulent people are too ill to quickly and unable to spread the virus.
It all comes down to how long a person is a carrier for spreading the virus before the become too ill. So spreading a weaker version of the virus may not have the same spread pattern as a stronger one.
If you die within one hour of catching the virus means is difficult for the virus to spread.
Also the baseline health and medcial care have a great effect of leathality. Just beacuse it spreads quickly and kills a lot of people in an a group of malnourished poorlry cared for group does not mean the same will happen elsewhere.
This bio wepaon thing seems to be really complicated, too deadly and it doesn't get chance to spread.
