Scientists Link This Superspreader Event in February to Around 300,000 COVID Cases
Townhall ^ | 12/12/2020 | Bronson Stocking

Posted on 12/13/2020 6:40:42 AM PST by Onthebrink

The credibility of public health officials was shot earlier this year after members of the medical community approved of the months-long protests – i.e. superspreader events – following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Hypocritically, the same "experts" chastised other gatherings and large events that didn't call for defunding police departments or descend into widespread violence and mayhem.

We now know, thanks to scientists who analyzed the genetic code of the coronavirus, that a superspreader event back in February is responsible for around 300,000 cases of the Wuhan virus. The event wasn't a reopening protest or a Trump rally, but a medical conference attended by top health care professionals.

As much as I’d like to jump up and down and say Nyaa Nyaa, I won’t.

I’ve been to dozens of events, large and small. None have become “superspreaders” The reality is that it’s a cool name for a non existent phenomenon.

My b-i-l and his flaming liberal wife both have COVID, which she was literally terrified of.

He said it feels like a mild cold and she apparently does not even have symptoms yet in spite of testing positive.

Now I can tell them we’re good for seeing them for the holidays because they will no longer be contagious by them and they will be immune.

And I will enjoy every minute of pointing this out to her.

I suspect he’s a closet republican.

My daughter, SIL, and their 2 kids were all diagnosed positive on Wednesday. The kids’ symptoms are mild but their parents are sicker with symptoms like a bad cold except with loss of smell/taste. They wear masks everywhere they go, although they roll their eyes about it.

It is a real thing but as usual the fake news has corrupted the term. We had SSE’s, super spreader events with SARS 1 and the two viruses are so very similar that it makes sense that SARS 2 would work the same way. The super spreader is an individual. When contact tracing back to a gathering at which a large number were infected they sometimes find everyone got it from one person. That person is a super spreader and that gathering is the event. I cannot remember the theory on why some individuals are this way.

The Skagit County Washington choir practice was a SSE. One lady in the choir gave it to 53 of the 61 people who came to practice.

Did anybody see a tweet about testing cola and other items for COVID 19 and most of items tested positive?

Could this possibly be true??

It’s a bio weapon , and is being selectively released to keep the narrative alive and the fear meter pegged in the red. I also believe there will either be a more deadly”resurgence “ or a more deadly “mutation” (Covid-20?) in the offing. Martial law or not, if you Love freedom you need to Prepare to go to the mattresses. It’s happening now folks. We are in a real Non-conventional war and under attack on many levels. The end Result they want is all your possessions, Your freedom included , and you becoming properties of the state. The Matrix awaits if you don’t fight...

My 2nd week of Covid was a bitch once the viral debri started coating the lungs. Recovered now except have reduced lung capacity in 3rd week.

Hope they were smart enough to use zinc quercetin and vit c&d. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Most contagious part of this are days before symptoms appear.

I got it from my MIL the day before she became symptomatic. She passed 2 weeks later.

The riots were a success for the PTBs and did exactly what they were supposed to do: spreading both the virus and dissent among US just before the election.

“They” want the virus and they need the infection and death numbers as high as possible so the fear is as high as possible and anger at President Donald J. Trump is as high as possible.

That way “they” could overwhelm his popularity by crashing the record economy (are you better off now than 4 years ago?) and swamping the vote with mail in voting and massive election fraud.

War. They are at war with us. We are an inconvenient population among them and we are in the way of their plan.

How many did Bill Ayers say had to die so they could do what they wanted to do?

Ayers and that group weren’t kidding about that then, and since then they’ve had a lot of time to figure out the hows and the whens to do it.

Like maybe ... now before they all get too old?

You know, a changing of the guard, so to speak, as old man Soros and his generation leaves us, “they” pass on the torch to the next gen rulers of the world.

And what better going away gift to him than for his enemies to be vanquished and his new world order to be established?

He dies fulfilled.

Just vitamins. Should have been on invermectin. As a prophylactic. It’s even better than zinc and quercitin if you don’t already have Covid.

For what it’s worth Covid doesn’t appear to be very contagious. Nobody else in family got it. Just me in a household of 5. I received a huge viral load from my MIL the day before she became symptomatic when we shared a bowl of food. My wife and I saw her the 1st day of her being symptomatic and we talked to her for 30-40 minutes, but did not touch her. No mask/ no transmission. While I was sick I mainly stayed in bedroom again without mask and used my own bathroom.

Yes I saw that. It was the same reason the WHO was kicked out of Tanzania after the Tanzanian authorities became suspicious and PCR tested a Monkey, Goat, Paw-Paw fruit and a rock. They all were positive. So it was GTFO time.

Its a sad commentary when Tanzania exhibits more common sense than the United States.
