This story popped up a couple of days ago, and it's generating some discussion with Germans.
So over from Cottbus, a eastern German city of 100k residents....they have this 'record' that they were building upon. Officially, they hadn't had any infections of the Coronavirus in a number of weeks (they actually say 12 weeks, but I'm a bit skeptical of this claim). In the past week, this Cottbus family of four (husband, wife, son and daughter)....came back from a Spanish isle vacation. As they arrived home....some symptoms appeared, and they were tested.
Yep....they all have the Coronavirus.
The chief question by Germans on this discussion....did they party down or do any risky public distancing stuff. The family says no.....they were on the beach, lounged at the hotel pool, and ate at local restaurants, in what you'd think was a safe way.
Proving the risk factor? That's the real issue where this discussion goes.
The more people you hang around, the more potential for some virus to pass from person to person.
