A Biogen medical conference in late February led to between 205,000 to 300,000 COVID-19 infections from February to November of this year, according to a study in the peer-reviewed journal Science by the American Association for the Advancement of Science....
...In the four counties that comprise the Boston region, 51,000 - about half - of the cases of COVID-19 until the beginning of November had genetic markers that linked the cases to the conference, according to the report. The virus also spread from the conference to other states at the beginning of...

May have.
Or not.
Business insider, less accurate than a broken watch...
FEEL THE IRONY! Oh well, I’m sure that 99% of those that contacted it are still alive. Big deal!
but it’s not about the BI, it’s about the study. And maybe very naughty conference attendees who didn’t wash their hands before dinner. But one thing’s for sure - it’s not Trump’s fault.
I will say it caused more than 300k.
That conference was the cause of the breakout in Indiana. At least the known break out. Could have been there before that but the conference started the rapid known breakout.

it’s nice to be young and genetically strong, as most Anglos are.
OTOH, if Gottlieb is even remotely correct, and I’m not saying he is, just pointing out that there is still a very vulnerable population that have higher risk: “ ,,, There [are] 50,000 new infections in nursing homes every week right now, probably more than that. And we know 20% of people in the nursing homes who are infected will succumb to the infection....”

A former associate director of a US biotechnology company is facing up to seven years in prison in China after allegedly hiding her coronavirus symptoms and flying from Los Angeles to Beijing in hopes of receiving treatment. The Chinese national, 37, gobbled down anti-fever medicine at LAX to suppress her high temperatures before boarding the 13-hour flight back to her homeland with her husband and son, Chinese authorities said. The mother-of-one, named as Jie Li, worked for Biogen, a multinational firm at the center of an outbreak of the coronavirus in Massachusetts. Around 30 per cent of the confirmed cases...
yay on the new baby ! Congrats!
More hiding of the virus’s spread from NY to the rest of the US.
Cuomo must be protected!
Oh yes, definitely remember this. This conference was one of the dumbest moves including people who had been travelling internationally to COVID infected areas. It helped seed clusters all over the country to really get things ramped up.
