New coronastudie: that is Why the infection is so low in Denmark

Quite paradoxically has the reopening of the Denmark so far not led to increased infection with coronavirus in the population.

Two Danish researchers now believe to have the explanation: It is a small number of people and a small number of larger events that are the cause of by far the most infection.

It writes Politiken.

It is pandemiforsker and professor of public health at Roskilde University Lone Simonsen and Kim Sneppen, professor in the biocomplexity of the oceans at the Niels Bohr Institute, who are behind the study.

the Study has, according to Politiken tried to model the new international knowledge that ten percent of the population seems to stand for 80 percent of the spread of infection.

Specifically, the two Danish scientists have come to it is the so-called superspredere, which stands for the majority of the infection. And there are quite a few of.

A superspreder is an infected person infects many others. On supersprederne due to biological factors, bad timing, social behaviour, or that they are part of specific risky events, researchers know not yet, writes Politiken.

at the same time show the studio that the infection largely occurs at large events such as festivals and concerts.

And because Denmark still has public major events, has also limited superspredernes maximum number of contacts with the other.

Our research confirms that superspredere is an important engine in the epidemic, and explains why the infection has not gone up, after we opened for the society, says Lone Simonsen to Politiken.

Kim Sneppen at the same time says for the newspaper that you can keep the infection down, to avoid large gatherings in the community.

the Study's models also show that it is less important to close schools and workplaces, where the contact surfaces are the same every day.

Lone Simonsen mentions of Politiken studenterkørsel as an example that smaller events do not have the great importance in relation to the contamination.

She is not so concerned about that 30 young people must run together in the studentervogn.

She only becomes concerned if the carriage stops at Kongens Nytorv, and the students meet with one thousand other students, sounds it.
