First of all, lets look at the evidence base they've used for this.
The claim: "An analysis of 3,184 cases in Japan identified 61 case-clusters that were observed in healthcare and other care facilities, restaurants and bars, workplaces, and music events."
Why are 'Workplaces' and 'Healthcare Facilities' included here? They don't breakdown the findings of the Japanese study.
The Ammonium Nitrate at Beirut Port was there due to a complex legal dispute. A story of the legal wranglings is on shiparrested.com
On 23/9/2013 a ship called the Rhosus, flying the Moldovian flag, sailed from Batumi Port, Georgia heading to Biera in Mozambique...
The Rhosus was carrying 2,750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate.
En route to Mozambique, the Rhosus got into technical difficulties, forcing it to enter Beirut Port. Upon inspection of the vessel by Port State Control at Beirut, the vessel was forbidden from sailing further.
Most of the crew were repatriated shortly afterwards. The Rhosus was abandoned by her owners after charterers and those shipping the cargo lost interest in the Ammonium Nitrate.
The remaining crew on the Rhosus and Master quickly ran out of stores and provisions.
On this day in 1812, Spencer Perceval became the only British Prime Minister ever to be assassinated.
On an otherwise unremarkable Monday afternoon at about a quarter past five, Perceval entered the lobby of the House of Commons on his way into the chamber
A man, who had been sitting quietly by the fireplace stood up, walked towards the prime minister, and shot him in the chest
Perceval, on being shot, staggered backward.
“Oh! Murder! Murder!” he exclaimed, before collapsing, dead.
His corpse was then carried into the Secretary’s Room.
This incredibly detailed account of events and the scene is held by National Archives:
This is the moment The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem was closed due to Coronavirus.
Last time this happened was in 1349, during The Black Death, a bubonic plague pandemic.
What’s fascinating about this story is the guy with the keys.
The church is in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. Within its complex it is said to contain the two holiest sites in Christianity; the site where Jesus was crucified, and the empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and then resurrected.
The site, which has existed in one form or another since the 4th century, is occupied by a number of rival Christian denominations. These denominations often don’t agree with each other and conflict has been a recurring feature among them during its history.
Much of the talk about yesterday’s drone strike has been focused on Qasem Soleimani, somewhat missing the other significant individuals with him in his convoy, and in doing so, missing why this convoy was such a threat.
Also in the convoy was Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.
al-Muhandis helped form Kata'ib Hezbollah, a powerful paramilitary entity that had been actively involved in the protests at the US embassy in Baghdad
The group were active in the Iraqi civil war against coalition forces & more latterly against ISIS, again backed by Iran.
But al-Muhandis is better known for the work he did in the 1980s, particularly towards United States embassies.
On 12 December 1983, two months after the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, a series of terrorist attacks took place in Kuwait.
