Snippet: This may impact our estimates depending on these infections' degree of infectiousness. A sensitivity analysis assuming a 50% increase in the susceptibility of younger age cohorts (to somewhat reflect the effect of subclinical infections) resulted in smaller differences in 0 R across countries, but still supported our findings of wide heterogeneity in 0 R (supplementary Figure S11 ). It is conceivable that such subclinical infections may have lo.....
Document: This may impact our estimates depending on these infections' degree of infectiousness. A sensitivity analysis assuming a 50% increase in the susceptibility of younger age cohorts (to somewhat reflect the effect of subclinical infections) resulted in smaller differences in 0 R across countries, but still supported our findings of wide heterogeneity in 0 R (supplementary Figure S11 ). It is conceivable that such subclinical infections may have lower viral load, and therefore rapid infection clearance and limited transmission potential. Data on infection clusters from
