A kick-boxing event in Thailand spread the virus all over the country.
A pot-luck event in Wuhan, for 40,000 families, two days before they broke the coronavirus news.
No doubt there are plenty of other large gatherings of all sorts all around the world (cruise ships, anyone?) that have spread the virus.

They've tried to organize other large meetings in both Indonesia and India since then but were prevented.
But then there is the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan who allowed a quarter of a million people to gather in Lahore in mid March, to participate in the Tableeghi Ijtema, organized by, who else, a local branch of the Tablighi Jamaat, which "spread the coronavirus from Kyrgyzstan to Gaza"

The attempts to talk about anything but the topic is duly noted. Since we are currently having discussions about gatherings in churches I think it is an important article. So far every poster has failed to give a fair response.

We're just looking for a little fairness and consistency, Chuck, or is that too much to expect from you?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

We may need this to spread anyhow. What happens when we all start normal lives again?
