OMG this thread by mathematician @gro_tsen seems of crucial importance. He argues (shows?) that focusing on *receivers* of the virus is far more important than focusing on spreaders of the virus. It might sound complicated but he does a great job of explaining it, so try it!https://twitter.com/gro_tsen/status/1252581933835575297 …

The attack rate of the epidemy depends more on the distribution of people who receive the virus than on the distribution of people who spread it. I.e when looking at the social network to contain the epidemy we should focus on people with many contacts.

Possibly it is not even necessary to look at individuals. Distributions influenced by occupations should be very informative, already.
