This isn’t about Corona-bubbles/networks although it could seem confusing given the title.

Study suggests optimal social networks of no more than 150 people

“New rules of engagement on the battlefield will require a deep understanding of networks and how they operate according to new Army research. Researchers confirmed a theory that find that networks of no more than 150 are optimal for efficient information exchange.”

“Researchers at ARO and the University of North Texas tested a theory proposed by British anthropologist Robin Dunbar in the 1990s, which suggested that 150 was the largest group that humans can maintain stable social relations. In the vicinity of this size theĀ  becomes unstable and splinters into smaller groups.”
