What is a superspreader? Why are they important? And are we seeing many superspreader events in Australia?

leads to 52 people being infected with the virus and two of the singers dying.

This has sometimes been dubbed the 80/20 rule because around 20 per cent of people control around 80 per cent of the infection spread. Any individual could be a superspreader given the right circumstances, which is why measures like physical distancing, hand hygiene and getting tested and self-isolating if you have symptoms are crucial for everyone.

Dan Andrews?

People who watch Q&A and take it seriously.

“Superspreader “ is a term just pulled out of thin air to continue the scare narrative . Be wary this “superspreaders” might justify further lockdown. Disgusting behaviour.

Stupidity

But let’s not mention how the BLM protests have been linked to spreading Covid! We either all do it or none of us . Yes I’m talking to you DanielAndrewsMP !

Dirty people

Going to a BLM protest with 10,000 others?

Ineffective government response seems to be a big proponent

Can someone just say it - that extroverts are the ones spreading this around. Ironically they are also the ones suffering the most in lockdown. 🤦‍♀️

Superspreader is the latest fear mongering tactic? Seem to frequently mentioned in the last few days. Nothing can be more annoying than media sensationalism.

A species known as Verminus Ratticus, observed to hang out at protests and to be avid Green Labor & ABC fans

Being an inconsiderate God botherer seems to be a big one.

They tend to like going to protests.

Tech billionaire Scott Farquhar lodges DA to reinstate Elaine as a single estateThree years after Atlassian's co-chief executive Scott Farquhar bought Point Piper's Elaine for $71 million, he has finally made an official bid to save it from subdivision and reinstate it as a single family estate | Domaincomau Domaincomau As the owner, why does Farquhar need permission to reverse a development approval.
