Primes

• Concentration
  • In epidemiology, transmission concentrates: superspreading events and overdispersed transmission mean a small fraction of cases drive most infections

    This sourceShows transmission is overdispersed — a small fraction of cases drive most infections (superspreading) — so the epidemic's force concentrates at a few decisive points, with control implications for targeted measures.
