Super Spreading Events Bust the Notion of COVID19 Transmission

28 August 2020

Researchers say super spreading events are driving this pandemic
Transmission seems to depend on individual infectivity rather than just infection potential of the virus
These events suggest that it can occur anywhere and in longer distances with numerous virus particles
The key is to find out the super emitters who have a higher infectivity
10-20% of the population is responsible for infecting 80% of the population
however, this remaining 70% doesn’t seem to infect anyone
Although the...
