Something odd is happening in homes across the country — Infectious illness is spreading unusually fast for this time of year.
Household Secondary Attack Rate, or SAR, measures how transmissible an infectious disease is within a household. In other words, it’s a measure of how likely someone else in the home is to get sick when one family member becomes ill.
