It is a cool resource.
(ETA: I see they’ve retracted the paper which gave us the famous “infected on a bus” example)

From https://www.thelocal.dk/20200601/ban-on-big-gatherings-saved-denmark-researchers (about this preprint on superspreaders):
The ban on large gatherings, rather than school or bar closures, may have played the key role in slowing the coronavirus pandemic in Denmark, two researchers in the country have claimed.
“The gain with the lockdown was probably not that big in itself,” Kim Sneppen, professor of biocomplexity at Copenhagen University, told The Local. “It was this gain indirectly by reducing situations where these people meet many other people. Avoiding large gatherings helps to keep the infection down.”

China had been periodically having new, allegedly minor, outbreaks, but (as far as I have seen) every single one was blamed on foreigners entering the country. (Not even on Chinese nationals entering the country!)
Considering the 14 day quarantine that everyone has to do upon entering China, I likewise have said “Really?”
