The Super Spreaders of Typhoid Mary

The idea of super spreaders I think is really interesting. The idea that like a single individual could account for the vast majority of the number of people that eventually end up getting infected. And if you can identify who that super spreader is early on in the process, then by breaking the chains of transmission around that person, then you might minimize the impact of that infection on the whole population. But it's hard to do because it requires a lot of observation and data.
