Disease detectives at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are probing a new outbreak: the roughly three-dozen coronavirus cases linked to their own annual conference last week.
“CDC is working with the Georgia Department of Health to conduct a rapid epidemiological assessment of confirmed COVID-19 cases that appear to be connected to the 2023 EIS Conference to determine transmission patterns,” CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund said in an email.
Nordlund said the CDC reported the cases to state health officials who have authority over the location where the conference occurred. Attendees said many people at the gathering did not mask, socially distance or take other precautions that the CDC had recommended earlier in the pandemic.
Fewer than 100,000 confirmed coronavirus cases were reported across the United States last week — the lowest levels in nearly two years. But public health experts have cautioned that the vast majority of cases are not being tracked, with many Americans testing at home, if at all, and opting not to report the results. The virus also remains on pace to be one of the top 10 causes of death this year, with fatalities concentrated among older and immunocompromised individuals.
Experts said an outbreak of coronavirus cases at a CDC conference — the first time the meeting of disease detectives was held in person in four years — illustrates the persistence of an evolving virus. The four-day conference for epidemic intelligence service officers and alumni, held near CDC headquarters in Atlanta last week, drew about 2,000 attendees who were likely to be fully vaccinated.

Probably an HIV hotspot as well.
Gotta love Karma.
Oh no! 35 people got the sniffles and aches
Must have been a wet market nearby.
Any of the sick wear masks?
...and yes I know that masks will not stop a virus.
A real whodunnit at the Communist Disease Control.
It could be false (or meaningless) positives.
The Covid tests are another punch line in this sick joke.
“35 people got the sniffles and aches”
It’s different for everybody.......I found that out recently first hand and I can assure you it was quite a bit more than sniffles.
Yes it is true that covid has been used as a weapon of fear to control people but I would also warn against anyone taking it too lightly.
It’s a “he who smelled it dealt it” thing.
Irony
Gee, their jabs didn’t protect them?
No, which is why they are recommending 7 more jabs, just to be sure they survive the nearly 100% survivable virus
No, which is why they are recommending 7 more jabs, just to be sure they survive the nearly 100% survivable virus
Should have stated “survivable virus without any shots”
Uh oh better make reservations for the next conference at this posh hotel!
Everyone at a CDC conference got the China Flu.
Didn't they socially distance, wash their hands, or sanitize them ?
Your stupid thought patterns will kill your grand mother !
The only ones in my extended family who got Covid more than once were vaccinated. The rest of only once. Just a coincidence I’m sure.
No report on the severty of symptoms, if any. Useful only for generating fear.
Let’s see....about 36 out of 2,000 people came away with COVID infection 2% or less). No one reported hospitalized....no reported deaths...no evidence of logarithmic spread...probably all vaccinated.
We all know vaxx doesn’t necessarily stop anyone from getting COVID... attendees falsely believe they are safe. This report is another proposed factoid in the whole shamefully mismanaged mess.
