6/7 Why are we excited? We believe our method helps bridge the gap between broad epidemic data & detailed local observations. It's a simple tool to monitor local awareness without privacy concerns, which could be invaluable for future pandemic responses. #GenomicEpidemiology #NetworkScience

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.

4/7 How robust is our Event Containment Score (ECS)?
- Simulations confirm positive ECS strongly indicates local awareness behavior.
- Our ECS scores correlated with policy stringency (Oxford CHI) in Europe during COVID-19.
We think it's a solid proxy!

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?
