Has there been any more information or research into these super spreaders events? If I understand correctly most of the larger hot spots have had at least one of these events: food delivery guy in Italy, lawyer in NYC, funeral in Georgia (Alabama?). As we start to open back up how do we take steps to avoid mass spread events that can overload hospitals?

The most infamous "super spreader event" in this particular pandemic has to be that of South Korea's Patient 31 as far as I have read.

Google it if you want, there's plenty out there to read. but also keep in mind that there might be incentive for a government who has no problems tracking their citizen's movements by the second and who they come in contact with to scapegoat this person to also use this as an opportunity to publicly shame their citizenry to avoid this type of behavior going forward.

This phenomenon as a prevalence doesn't really have any basis in reality if you look at the rest of SK's numbers, in terms of testing, infection rate, etc. But it still turns up as a case that is conveniently being cited by western media as pervasive warning of perils of abandoning "social distancing".

I hear phub is having a super spreader event!

This thread has a PFR (Posting Fatality Rate) 1000 times greater than COVID-19.

I've never seen such...um...diligence on the part of the mods.

Seriously, it keeps popping up with less posts than before. I still would like to know answers to my question as imo it's the big missing piece of how we reopen
