An important thing to note about the superspreading hypothesis is that it refers to *events*. It's unclear whether that means individual people, special circumstances or locations, behaviors, or a combination of them all. Still, don't go on the retired meatpackers' karaoke cruise

why is it anti- meat? It may have infected workers but unlikely to have changed consumption- remember when the shelves were empty EXCEPT for the meat substitutes?

It is opposed to GHG emissions. And the age cohorts that it targets with higher mortality rates are highly overlapped with the power and wealth cohorts; this amplified the economy-flattening responses. It also dislikes open-plan offices, and loud crowded indoor spaces like bars.
