„In the case of #SARSCoV2, evidence is growing that superspreading is a hugely significant factor of total transmission.“ This op-ed in the @nytimes by @bencowling88 and @DillonCAdam lays out that evidence very clearly nytimes.com/2020/06/02/opi…
It argues for focussing efforts to fight #covid19 on preventing superspreading events: „Forget about maintaining — or, if infections resurge, resuming — sweeping measures designed to stem the virus’s spread in all forms. Just focus on stopping the superspreading.“
Also cautious on Japan‘s cluster strategy: „We believe that despite Japan’s success so far, Hong Kong’s suppression strategy, which includes testing and contact-tracing as well, is preferable in the long run, if only because it’s better preparation for any future outbreaks.“
