Why not churches, bars, gyms, care homes, meat packing facilities and family reunions? Many more people spread it there. Airlines were actually amongst the first to take precautions. It was the passengers who were fukwits.

Care facilities, religious gatherings, and hospitals have been the primary source of COVID-19 clusters and multiple SSEs can be traced back to gyms, bars and nightclubs. Alcohol-induced carefree attitudes, coupled with asymptomatic transmission, culminates in a cramped indoor environment which facilitates transmission. A Zurich nightclub experienced an SSE, whereby, a single asymptomatic male infected 5 club visitors resulting in all 300 employees and visitors being placed under quarantine. 38 An investigation of clusters in Japan noted that many SSEs arose as a result of ‘heavy breathing in close proximity’, such as conversations in bars and karaoke parties. 39 Places that offer eating and drinking on-site may contribute to SSEs as “adults with positive SARS-CoV-2 test results were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant than those with negative results”. 78 A total of 112 fitness dance-related COVID-19 cases was recorded at 12 different sports facilities in Cheonan, South Korea. The ‘moist, warm atmosphere in a sports facility coupled with turbulent airflow generated by intense physical exercise could cause more dense transmission of isolated droplets’ is relevant. 40 As aforementioned, while virus particles can travel significant distances, social distancing eliminates close contact and acts to reduce transmission through breathing. The images of closely packed individuals at the White House's Rose Garden suggest disregard for social distancing. |
