Boston Globe March 10: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/11/nation/how-biogen-leadership-conference-boston-spread-coronavirus/: "Within days, though, the Biogen conference would be infamous, identified as an epicenter of the Massachusetts outbreak of Covid-19, with 70 of 92 coronavirus infections in the state linked to the conference as of Tuesday night, including employees and those who came into contact with them. That doesn’t include a cascade of individual cases in Tennessee, North Carolina, Indiana, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and Norway, and suspected cases in Germany, Austria, and Argentina."

Guests at the Long Wharf conference included people from Italy, a country where the virus had spread, but not people who had been to China, where it originated late last year, [Biogen spokesman David Caouette] said.

From WBUR, March 12: https://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2020/03/12/coronavirus-outbreak-biogen-conference-superspreading: "Among the coronavirus numbers that Massachusetts officials have shared recently, one is particularly striking: Of the state's 95 cases detected as of late Wednesday, they say 77 stemmed from a meeting that the Cambridge biotech company Biogen held in late February."

From WBUR March 14: Known Coronavirus Cases in Mass. Up to 138; 104 Connected To Biogen Meeting

She Lie?

[Steely Tom]

It would be racist for China to keep this person out, or even to complain.

I know some Chinese moms, and this story seems completely in character to me.

So she went home. One less Chicom agent in the US.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Mission Accomplished!

That’s like an illegal Mexican crossing the border back into Mexico. Btw I hear Mexico is now in favor of stronger border controls. Who would have thought?

A modern day typhoid Mary.

[artichokegrower]

She flew from Boston to LA on a domestic flight. Everyone on that plane were exposed

[9YearLurker]

Yep, I’ll go there. Sounds like a Chinese agent breaking China’s rules to return “home”.

[boxlunch]

Any connection between Biogen and Bill Gates? Trying to look up but its unclear.

[ZephyrTX]

What say you NOW to those H-1B1 Visas that oust our AMERICANS from skilled jobs that are given to non-American people who are NOT LOYAL to the USA?

Before we start complaining of those specks in other eyes, we should be looking to the PLANKS in our own!

[Cobra64]

Yawn.

[Steven Tyler]

Hoping the big city lockdowns will convince the illegals to pick up and go home
