Superspread event

On 2020-09-24 a superspreading event most likely occurred in USA. 33 days later (2020-10-27) it started to super-spread through the community. A total of 35 copies of this genome (that represents the core of the outbreak), were reported in Gisaid, a proxy for primary transmissions, along with 34 genomes that are one-step mutation with respect to the core genome (a proxy for secondary transmissions). The signature for the likely superspreading event ends at about 2020-11-02, 39 days after it started, with 17679 sequences found in total.

The last sequence of the superspreading event was collected on 2020-11-21.
