Do you know of any study or other evidence that indicates super-spreader events seem to be "the primary cause of transmission"?
To me, it feels like gun violence. The mass shootings get all the press but "Regardless of the definition being used, fatalities in mass shooting incidents in the U.S. account for a small fraction of all gun murders that occur nationwide each year." (source)
I'm a little leery of chaining multiple infections from any particular event. If Joe infects 30 people by a super-spreading event, should we account a subsequent 50 household infections to him, or to the person who infected Joe, or to household infections?
Since I have a different sense of this, I'd appreciate finding numbers behind what apparently is your sense. Maybe I've missed this research and you've seen it.
