Large events where people eat and talk with strangers in close proximity (for a few hours or more) are turbochargers for spreading Covid-19.
This article doesn’t mention the Tablighi Jamaat Nizamuddin Markaz, but that event ticks many boxes and far more. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/09/the-cluster-effect-how-social-gatherings-were-rocket-fuel-for-coronavirus">https://www.theguardian.com/world/202...

Actually, the Guardian did not do even one article on the Tablighi Jamaat conflagration in India, where it accounts for half of all the new cases. It is startling, because Tablighis are very big in UK. They planned to build a mega-mosque in London capable of holding 12000 people!
They planned to build this mega-mosque as an extension to the “London Markaz”. Permission was denied, but this could have nurtured a far bigger viral conflagration than the Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi. It’s not as if London has low number of Covid-19 cases. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design-blog/2015/oct/29/mega-mosque-mega-church-battle-over-londons-sacred-sites">https://www.theguardian.com/artanddes...
There seems to be a mafia style Omertà in the British left wing media in discussing the Tablighi Jamaat viral pandemic. It is not just India. Pakistan was also hit majorly, though they don’t have full numbers there yet. Malaysia was hit immensely. The UK was also probably hit.
Why were the Tablighi Jamaat’s Markaz gatherings especially bad during a pandemic? Their peculiar (appalling) notions of personal hygiene. It is a cult that is streamlined to spread a pandemic. Compare with the Guardian article at the top of this thread.
