Discussion. I think the results of this analysis on R0 and cluster size distribution could be compared with Cauchemez et al PNAS 2016, who estimated many of the similar quantities using spatiotemporal data to define clusters. An important result of that paper was that the cluster size distributions were very skew - I think it would be good to look at skewness here.

I was going to do a direct comparison of standardised moments between Cauchemez's distribution of clusters and our inferred sequence and case clusters but (wait for it...) - the data's not been made publicly available. Only raw data are shared.

I think this is a great approach. Agree that this is resolved.
