Epidemiologists in Japan operate on a theory that, while everyone is susceptible to infection, only a very small minority of people spread the disease, but do so with incredible efficiency.

But a thing it does account for is how the disease can be *so* infectious in some contexts, but then also not burn through cities like Tokyo despite being around for months

if they find the super spreader, they may discover what makes them so effective at spreading. it may be due to obvious physical symptoms, or something else. if the ‘how’ of super spreading is understood, it could answer a lot of your other questions.
