5/7 And the most intriguing part? In the UK—where we had the richest genetic data—we saw a similar decrease in event containment during the Omicron BA.1 wave. Just like in the Hungarian survey.
Event Containment Scores computed biweekly with a 4-week sliding window in the UK for the Delta, Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants.

3/7 To measure how local awareness shaped epidemic dynamics, we developed a new method using mutation patterns in SARS-CoV-2 sequences. We identified superspreading events and introduced the Event Containment Score as a proxy.

2/7 Surprisingly, our Hungarian survey showed the lowest local response during the biggest COVID wave (Omicron BA.1). This made us wonder: Did the same pattern happen in other countries? And did it impact the epidemic dynamics?
The blue curve shows the mean willingness to engage in awareness behavior (in the survey, on a scale of 1-5), suggesting the lowest local response during the biggest COVID wave.
