Corona not so contagious after all

Rejected submission by bart mailto:soylentnews@vandeenensupport.com at 2020-05-28 12:16:16 from the Medical dept.
Science
Well known Dutch social geographer and statistician Maurice de Hond [maurice.nl] has been showing that the level of contagiousness of Corona is not nearly as high as people think, and that it's only the super-spreading events that cause the rapid rates of infection in certain places.
His latest blogpost [maurice.nl] has lots of references, like the conclusions of the Norwegian CDC [spectator.co.uk] and German government Corona adviser Prof. Christian Dorsten [www.ndr.de].
All in all it looks like outdoor social distancing is useless (except at disrupting the economy), but indoors, and especially crowded indoors deserve attention.
