What's that in US units? 1 bar in Texas? https://twitter.com/motokorich/status/1276714143068721152
85 ppl got infected from a single bar in Michigan.
Japan figured out to avoid superspreading 3C's by March! Bars have all the 3 strikes - closed, crowded & close-contact loud conversations. Having a drink outdoors isn't hard... https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/10900000/000615287.pdf https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/27/us/michigan-coronavirus-bar-harpers/index.html

Texas' Gov. Abbott regrets reopening: "If I could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars, now seeing in the aftermath of how quickly the coronavirus spread in the bar setting." https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1276546085956333568
In the ongoing disaster that is the American corona response, this is point where Dr. Oshitani Hitoshi stares directly at the camera and says something rude about occidentals and their cultural habits.

Shaming ppl for going to beaches/parks when almost all superspreading transmission events have been indoors (crowded, loud) has been awful.

Can't blame ppl when policy has closed beaches but reopened bars. Public shaming has focused on wrong risks.

Just 100s of such superspreader events would have taken place in past month after states inexplicably reopened bars w/out informing people of risks of 3C's. This from Jacksonville that is now the second largest outbreak in Florida after Miami. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1273018142076407808
On June 20, day after bars were allowed to reopen in Los Angeles county, some 500,000 ppl got drinks, according to Dept of Public Health. Even if 5000 were infectious; crowded +loud+ indoor + maskless = 1000s of new infections. A colossal policy failure. https://laist.com/latest/post/20200627/a-lot-of-people-in-LA-went-out-to-bars-the-day-after-they-reopened
Churches have been reopened for a month.
"An outbreak at a Pentecostal church in Oregon ... forced an entire county to return to phase one of its reopening after local officials traced 258 cases..."
Dozens such clusters in churches nationwide.

The super-spreader event in a S Korean megachurch that looked like this was one single person — Patient 31 — who infected over 5000 people. Maskless shouting/singing in closed spaces is dangerous https://graphics.reuters.com/CHINA-HEALTH-SOUTHKOREA-CLUSTERS/0100B5G33SB/index.html
This is First Baptist Dallas where Pence spoke today. Texas shut down bars on friday, but churches were kept open though singing aerosalises virus over long distances. Infact, its all the risky 3C's together: Closed, Crowded, Choirs.
Jesus take the wheel.

8 days after bars were reopened in California they are closed. 500,000 ppl went to them the first night. Even if 5000 were infectious; crowded +loud+ indoor + maskless = 1000s of new infections.

A state of emergency? Has Japan tried the proven technique of arguing over masks, bar-hopping and leaving it to god? https://twitter.com/SasakawaUSA/status/1278765653160329216
Oshitani designed Japan's approach to see the forest, not the trees. It means that most ppl infect 0 other ppl, so when when you find one, you've got to look back to find the 3C cluster that started it.
