Why doesn't chickenpox spread like the common fever ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does: If a common fever is l a viral infection, chicken pox spreads the same way respiratory droplet, more infective before the rash, but so many adults and kids either had the chicken pox or r vaccine it won't be as prevalent.
