Why the Coronavirus is More Likely to ‘Superspread’ Than the Flu

Sat, 2020-08-08 12:30 — mike kraft

At its most intrepid, the virus can spread from a single individual to dozens of others, perhaps even a hundred or more at once, proliferating through packed crowds in what is called a superspreading event.
