Increased close proximity airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant.
TLDR
In this article, the authors performed a Monte Carlo simulation using a social contact network and exponential dose-response model to quantify the close proximity reproduction number of both wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and the Delta variant.About:

TL;DR: In this article , the risk of infection from SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant of passengers sharing a car cabin with an infected subject for a 30min journey is estimated through an integrated approach combining a recently developed predictive emission-to-risk approach and a validated CFD numerical model numerically solved using the open-source OpenFOAM software.

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: A retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marche region
TL;DR: The authors need high ventilation rates (> 10 L s -1 student -1 ) to protect students in classrooms from airborne transmission; this is higher than the rate needed to ensure indoor air quality.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used reverse transcriptase droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR) to analyze SARS-CoV-2 N1, N2, and variant gene copies and found that N1 and N2 gene copies were predictive of clinical case trends within 0-7 days.

Journal ArticleDOI
Superspreading and the effect of individual variation on disease emergence
TL;DR: It is shown that contact tracing data from eight directly transmitted diseases shows that the distribution of individual infectiousness around R0 is often highly skewed, and implications for outbreak control are explored, showing that individual-specific control measures outperform population-wide measures.

Estimating the overdispersion in COVID-19 transmission using outbreak sizes outside China.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified individual-level variation in COVID-19 transmission by applying a mathematical model to observed outbreak sizes in affected countries and found that 80% of secondary transmissions may have been caused by a small fraction of infectious individuals.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive analysis of interpersonal distances over a large data set (N = 8,943 participants from 42 countries) was presented, which attempted to relate the preferred social, personal, and intimate distances observed in each country to a set of individual characteristics of the participants, and some attributes of their cultures.
