Same song in the US & Canada. Proper contact tracing reveals this pretty quickly. Large, indoor, no precaution gatherings are how you effectively spread this virus.
This may be accurate (anecdotal) data. But it may not directly implicate a person to person aerosol transmission.
In these cases it may be aerosol to skin/surface to touch to mucous membrane or oral transmission.
If this virus was primarily and easily transmitted by aerosol.....a close indoor non mask event would reasonably have large numbers of cases. I personally havent seen reports of comprehensive numbers of infections from such 'super spreading' evrnts.
Seems the transmission modes of this virus are more obscure and complicated than wearing a mask....or not.
