Superspread event
On 2020-11-25 a superspreading event most likely occurred in California. 4 days later (2020-11-29) it started to super-spread through the community. A total of 32 copies of this genome (that represents the core of the outbreak), were reported in Gisaid, a proxy for primary transmissions, along with 51 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 2020-12-03, 8 days after it started, with 4131 sequences found in total.
The last sequence of the superspreading event was collected on 2020-12-27.
