Infected with coronavirus are not only very different endure sickness, but as different the intensity of its spread. Researchers from the UK estimate that among those infected there “superastronomical” who are responsible for the vast majority of cases the spread COVID-19.

a Group of scientists from the London school of hygiene and tropical medicine and the Institute of Alan Turing found out that infected by coronavirus differ greatly according to the degree of danger they present to others. According to a study published in the journal Nature, the vast majority of cases of transmission of the virus from person to person — about 80% — accounted for only 10% of carriers of the virus. These infected scientists called “superesportes”.

However, for viral diseases is natural. Under the rule of “20/80” describing the situation when most infections are responsible for only a small proportion of those covered, for example, HIV, measles, and Ebola and other coronaviruses.

So, HIV is transmitted much more not from person to person, for example, through sexual contact and through needle of a syringe, which is used by multiple people. Therefore, epidemiologists first note of drug addicts as a risk group for HIV infection. The problem is that in the case of COVID-19 detection of patterns does not answer the question that you need to stop first to stop the pandemic.

Scientists suggest to limit and prevent such events that may become the epicentres of the spread of the virus. Here are just a coronavirus is actively distributed in all areas of close concentrations of people. And those may be gatherings friends someone at the apartment, and the party at the bar, and concerts.

there were many cases of very active spread of the virus in the churches, which hosted the service, and the fitness rooms. Quarantine measures imposed by the governments of dozens of countries, has made it possible over time to reduce the rate of spread of the coronavirus. But what event will become the next focus of infection, scientists don’t know.
