Superspreader events, in which one person infects a disproportionately large number of others, are the primary means by which the coronavirus spreads, new preprint research suggests.

When I hear "super spreader" I always picture a beer tender that has worked around N San Diego Co for years. Dude cannot keep his fingers out of his nose. I have no idea how he holds a job. His hands go from his nose to your glass all day.

When I see him, I just walk away. Disgusting.

And... this guy is why masks don't do chit for the general public.

Thanks for posting this. I've been reading stuff that was sort of pointing in the direction of this, but this puts it together.

Basically don't be an idiot and isolate yourself when you are sick. Too bad we seem to be saturated with idiots.

"Superspreader events around the world have created clusters of coronavirus infections that cropped up almost overnight."

A word to the wise?

Or file under believe it or not?

Disgusting people like this guy help people get sick during regular times. And now? Now we have to deal with these disgusting turds AND people who are presympt/asympt. Restaurants often have poor hygiene. If you go to the bathroom of a restaurant and the bathroom is disgusting, guess what, that's the same bathroom all the workers use. If that sink looks disgusting, chances are those workers aren't using it after doing their business.

I never liked going to restaurants all that much before COVID19. I'm not missing it that much, although my wife is.

So you're saying most people are catchers and not pitchers? Asking for a friend.
