NEW: This CDC report shows how one man with mild symptoms—who didn’t even know he had COVID-19—unwittingly created a cluster. Three people died. If you’re thinking about breaking social-distancing guidelines, I strongly recommend you read this. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-terrifying-story-of-an-unwitting-potential-covid-19-super-spreader-in-chicago?ref=authore
You can track the transmission in this cluster through this chart. The one man shared a meal, went to a funeral, then a birthday party. Those who were unknowingly infected spread it to their families and to fellow congregants at a church:

That choir in Washington state, where attendees reportedly used hand sanitizer, refrained from touching one another, and stood apart while singing, resulted in at least 45 people becoming infected. Two people died. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-terrifying-story-of-an-unwitting-potential-covid-19-super-spreader-in-chicago
If you pair these clusters with reporting on the prevalence of silent spreaders—those who are able to spread the virus without symptoms—it’s hard to imagine why the CDC would be considering loosening guidance for those who've been exposed the virus https://apnews.com/fab319a90ead9aae057f7fab059c2ccb
“Despite intensive epidemiologic investigation, not every ... case related to this cluster might have been detected,” said the CDC. “Given increasing evidence of substantial asymptomatic infection... the size of this cluster might be underestimated.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-terrifying-story-of-an-unwitting-potential-covid-19-super-spreader-in-chicago?ref=author
