Overlooked Variable Is the Key to the Pandemic

  Finally, an article that brings some illumination beyond R0, in how this virus spreads! This may be one of the most important articles published about SARS-COV-2. The approach to effectively attacking "overdispursion" or "super-spreader" (stochastic) infection viruses is the opposite of normal (deterministic) ones -- backward-tracing, instead of forward-tracing. Very interesting result, which appears to have predictive power in the results of various regions attempts to suppress outbreaks. Very impressed!

      It (edit: the original article) was posted 4 times, each without significant uptake - there is no way to determine which one might gain traction; but all of them certainly won’t, making the duplicate comment moot. However, I will refrain from doing that in the future. I really appreciate your moderation efforts, dang! Excellent work.
