      I link to his piece right up top! Yes, there's been definitely good pieces early on (just read yours; it's great) that highlighted superspreading. I wanted to write something in detail, not just explaining k, but also all the concrete research since *plus* practical implications.

          It's actually a piece borne of the frustration that excellent work like that, including yours, did not get the authorities, at least in Europe and EU/UK, change their policies. I mean, I can't believe UK is still restricting the wrong things more than the right things. 😬😬

          Thanks for linking to it. And I’m grateful for every piece out there that explains the science of this pandemic well. One of the few joys in the last months has been seeing the great work colleagues all over the world are doing. So looking forward to reading this later tonight!

          Thank you! Great fan of your work and yep, I think yours was among the first pieces that broke through on all this, and Justin's piece is excellent, too. But it's been frustrating; we see data accumulate, good pieces written and time pass... And then I look at our policies... 😢
