>From Wired Science Who should get a coronavirus vaccine first?
It’s likely that health care workers will be the first to get a vaccine when it’s available, and they probably should. Physicists who work on network theory, though, have another way of thinking about vaccine distribution. To reduce the spread quickly, you need to find the social butterflies, the people at the center of networks <https://link.wired.com/click/22069268.27049/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2lyZWQuY29tL3N0b3J5L2NvdmlkLTE5LXZhY2NpbmUtc3VwZXItc3ByZWFkZXJzLz91dG1fc291cmNlPW5sJnV0bV9icmFuZD13aXJlZCZ1dG1fbWFpbGluZz1XSVJfU2NpZW5jZV8xMTExMjAmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWF1ZC1kZXYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fdGVybT1XSVJfU2NpZW5jZSZieGlkPTViZDY3MDkyMmRkZjljNjE5NDM4Y2U5NCZjbmRpZD0yNTMzMTIxOSZlc3JjPWJvdW5jZVgmc291cmNlPUVEVF9XSVJfTkVXU0xFVFRFUl8wX1NDSUVOQ0VfWlombWJpZD1tYmlkJTNEQ1JNV0lSMDEyMDE5JTBBJTBB/5bd670922ddf9c619438ce94B44dc3970>. If you asked everyone to name a single acquaintance, it’s likely you’ll reach the superspreaders in a community quickly. And if you vaccinate them first, that could halt the spread of coronavirus in record time. ******* Hey, not just physicists.
