Airborne Pathogens in a Heterogeneous World: Superspreading & Mitigation

2020-10-27

Abstract excerpt

Epidemics are regularly associated with reports of superspreading: single individuals infecting many others. How do we determine if such events are due to people inherently being biological superspreaders or simply due to random chance? We present an analytically solvable model for airborne diseases which reveal the spreading statistics of epidemics in socio-spatial heterogeneous spaces and provide a baseline to w...
