I'd offer the Ebola outbreak as a counter-example.

Ebola is different: It does not spread over air like the Corona virus.

The Ebola virus " spreads to people initially through direct contact with the blood, body fluids and tissues of animals. Ebola virus then spreads to other people through direct contact with body fluids of a person who is sick with or has died from EVD". [0]

Only 2 Ebola outbreaks have had more than 1000 infected people.

This thing is in the early stages still and there are already 7x more recorded cases than the largest Ebola outbreak.
