Don't know if this relates to mine exploration as well.

The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

Think more in context of active mining sites - concentrations of workers, shared facilities - canteens, locker rooms etc... So, literally the worst (well, best) conditions for spread of virus :blink:

Like US meat packing factories, the perfect environment. Workers having to take a deep breath and shout to be heard. Like the super spreading events linked to choirs.
