Stochasticity and heterogeneity in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2	2020-05-27		.txt	text/plain	4811	212	47	In Figure 2 we show an example by utilizing a stochastic branching process model with both Poisson and SARS-CoV-1 like NB distribution (k = 0.16) under the same mean R 0 = 2.6 26 , with different population sizes ranging from small clusters of 10 like households to large ones of 10 6 like city-wide. Because they play an important role in the spread of infection, hotspots pose an opportunity for surveillance and control: focusing on facilities and activities known to sustain hotspots, such as healthcare facilities, nursing homes, prisons, meat-packing plants, homeless shelters, schools, mass gatherings, as well as those places with closed, poorly circulated environments, can provide efficient ways to identify potential SSEs before they happen, therefore, potentially reducing a substantial amount of transmission in the population. Multiple lines of evidence at the individual-and population-level strongly indicate the role of SSEs in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and that we should not overlook the heterogeneity in numbers of secondary infections 57 .	./cache/cord-235691-en6fgilb.txt	./txt/cord-235691-en6fgilb.txt
