Yeah, I remember an article a month or so ago that mentioned SARS-CoV-2 has a higher "clustering" rating than common cold/flu, which meant a smaller number of people caused more spreading, and that there wouldn't be a noticeable outbreak until the virus reached one of these superspreaders.

This is why Italy got absolutely hammered quite early on. They were very unlucky to get hit by the mother of all super spreader events.

Meanwhile it looks like some other countries like France had a few cases before then, but it died out.
