Really great article by @zeynep for @TheAtlantic on COVID-19 overdispersion aka superspreading with implications and reference to our work in Hong Kong @hkumed https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-1092-0 …https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1311336126125408256 …
I think that was the first preprint or among the first preprints with k estimates? :-D

Yes among the first preprints calculating k and published back in May,but the first I’m aware of that used quite comprehensive contact tracing data quantifying the link to large social gatherings. Our approach is to test + trace, quarantine contacts, and prevent superspreading.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
