A virus with that kind of mortality rate would have no chance to spread very far anyway, so all good!

That depends on the time difference between when it becomes transmissible and when it causes death. If it's short, it won't spread much. If it's long, it'll spread all over the place.

Give it a two week incubation time (not that far-fetched) and it will spread far and wide.
