Lockdowns exert selection pressure on overdispersion of SARS-CoV-2 variants

2021-07-06

Abstract excerpt

The SARS-CoV-2 ancestral strain has caused pronounced super-spreading events, reflecting a disease characterized by overdispersion, where about 10% of infected people causes 80% of infections. New variants of the disease have different person-to-person variations in viral load, suggesting for example that the Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant is more infectious but relatively less prone to superspreading. Meanwhile, mitigat...
