SUPERCONTAGIATOR Term opened by the World Health Organization (WHO) in May 2020 to highlight asymptomatic individuals who spread a virus or bacteria among the population because they are circulating among people while they are sick at a much higher than normal contagion rate. In situations of knowledge and protection this rate is less than 2 people per person infected, rather about 1 , 5 and up to 1 . 0 , but super-infecters commonly do so at a rate of approximately 3. 0 . This figure, statistically called R0, determines the rate at which an epidemic or pandemic spreads and is determinizing in the number of deaths due to the collapse of the health system.
