> Churches are a common place for superspreading events So is public transportation.

  No, public transit is not a common source of super-spreading events, you are just making up stuff that feels right to you and plays the dominant narrative. Seriously, find the prevalence of public transit superspreading events, if you even can. Spread happens at social places: conferences, nursing homes, churches, medical centers, meat packing plants. There are vanishingly small superspreading events from public transit. This whole thread is a perfect example of the media selling us a false narrative but persisting because is "feels" right. Public transit as a primary means of transmission runs counter to the data, but because it was one of the first things the media focused on and it "feels" right, people become so certain of their feelings that no amount of data will counter it.
