My correspondent colleagues and I have taken a closer look at how social gatherings turbo-charged the spread of Covid-19 around the world.

The "Covid-19 case cluster study" in Gangelt announced some preliminary findings this morning, after testing around 500 individuals: 14% of locals in Germany& #39;s most heavily hit district have developed immunity. Fatality rate is only 0,37%. https://www.land.nrw/sites/default/files/asset/document/zwischenergebnis_covid19_case_study_gangelt.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0mHttDrUdcDst__Tbk_ZiJYnf9HQLA0Gliu9s6bYo_rCNHTxcrZIcvDA0">https://www.land.nrw/sites/def...
