The vast majority of people who are carrying the coronavirus don’t spread it to other people, The New York Times reported. Rather, it’s the few people who spread it to multiple others — the so-called “superspreaders” — that are responsible for most of the virus’ spread, and who are most concerning to health officials.
Epidemiologist Ben Althouse compares the spread of the coronavirus to starting a fire. A person could throw a match at a pile of kindling, and it might not start. A second match, a third match, and it still might not start. Then a fourth match, and it hits the right spot, and now there’s a fire.
