superspreader /ˈsuːpəsprɛdə /nounA person infected with a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism who transmits it to an unusually large number of other people: a superspreader could turn a single laboratory infection into a potential pandemic...- One superspreader may have been a 64-year-old doctor in China who traveled to Hong Kong in late February.
- What makes for a superspreader is still unclear, but could be a mix of biological/genetic and environmental causes.
- "It's very likely this virus is usually spread by droplet transmission, but from time to time it may be embedded in a 'superspreader' who may also spread the virus through airborne transmissions," said Dr. Schaffner.
