Do superspreaders generate new superspreaders? a hypothesis to explain the propagation pattern of COVID-19	2020-05-11		.txt	text/plain	1995	107	53	Data and modelling supported the existence of 'superspreaders' which played a crucial role in propagating the disease by being very efficient at transmitting SARS-CoV-1, such that in the absence of superspreading events most cases infected few, if any, secondary contacts (Stein, 2011) . Similarly, early modelling and data suggested that a small proportion of cases of COVID-19 were responsible for most transmission, which is evidence that superspreaders also play an important role for SARS-CoV-2 (MacKenzie D, 2020, Frieden and Lee, 2020). Infections resulting from exposure to high loads of virus are expected to be of high intensity, as a large quantity of viral particles initiating replication in synchrony might overwhelm the mechanisms of resistance, and the poor control of viral replication may therefore result in a new potential superspreader. Therefore, a case resulting from an exposure to high viral loads has the potential to develop severe disease and also of being highly infectious.	./cache/cord-271495-5906wju4.txt	./txt/cord-271495-5906wju4.txt
