COVID-19 Update 21: Why superspreaders are so important for the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Описание: In this video, we discuss what is a superspreader event (SSE) and why superspreader events are so important for the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Superspreading has also been called "dispersion". Several respected groups of researchers from Israel, the UK, and Hong Kong, have shown that only 10 to 20% of COVID-19 patients are responsible for 80% of secondary infections. So if we can prevent these superspreader events, we could prevent a second wave of infections.

We also discuss cluster sites and their commonalities — the three Cs and superemitters and their impact on the spread.
