I came across a great page explaining how COVID-19 superspread events happen. It’s written by an epidemiologist who starts out with a description of how the disease spreads. (Basically, risk of infection = (the density of virus particles shed) x (the length of time you’re exposed to those particles).

She then goes on to describe superspreading events, including one in an office and one in a restaurant. (In the example involving the office, half of the room had a much higher infection rate than the other because of the direction in which the office ventilation system pumps air.)

I’m looking for this essay/blog entry/article, but I can’t find it. IIRC, the writer’s name starts with a B. I think I came across it on the SDMB, but I’m not sure. If you could find this piece for me, I’d be very grateful!

Yes! That’s it! Thank you so much. Trying to find this thing was really driving me crazy.

That was the first thing I did. I couldn’t find the article, so I tried a few other approaches before coming here.

Thanks again, you guys!
