NIH published an article on May 3 describing an asymptomatic pt. who had contact with 455 people with an average contact time of 4 days and no-one, I repeat NO_ONE came down with the virus.

That's amazing and encouraging, but hard to square with the account of the guy in New York early on who went to a wedding and a syanagogue, infected the rabbi, his whole family, and some 50-odd other people.

Are there substantially different strains of the virus? Or what makes somebody a super-spreader? Or, how many virions does one have to pick up on average to get infected?

Questions... many questions.

Similarly with the spreading at the funerals in SW GA in and around Albany, which was a hotspot for our state, on the hard to square part.

There’s still a heckuva lot we don’t know about this thing.
