The fact that there are continuously new outbreaks in meat processing plants shows that indoors the disease is easily transmitted, and it's so serious that the workforce is off sick with high fever for weeks.
The CFR for coronaplague is ~ 1 %, comparable to the Spanish Flu in Germany. The impact was catastrophic, the High Command had to decide between sending young men to the front or keeping them at work in coal and steel. In those days there was little automation, the infection would spread like wildfire through the workforce at any large employer. The only reason we aren't seeing the same now is that people adhere to some form of social distancing - work from home, no going out to bars, no gym, no church, kids are not in school, but as soon as guard is dropped infection rates jump up again. We are seeing this as well. Israel had new cases down to 1 per 100000 people until they opened up the schools and cases increased by two orders of magnitude.
