A gathering in Chicago to mourn a loved one's passing led to 16 new COVID-19 cases and three additional deaths -- and it's 'super spreader' events these that have spurred extended stay-at-home orders across the U.S.
THURSDAY, April 9, 2020 -- They gathered in Chicago to mourn a loved one's passing. But the new coronavirus was lurking among them, leading to a"super spreader" event that sickened 16 and killed three.
Unfortunately, she's seen it happen. In February, friends and family members gathered for the funeral of an Illinois man who died of causes unrelated to coronavirus, state health officials report. Social distancing and avoiding group gatherings effectively reduce spread of the virus, because they deprive it of people to infect and virtually starve it to death, Layden said. But other steps are also important.
That means a drop in the so-called doubling rate -- which is how long it takes to double the number of cases, say, from 100 to 200 or 200 to 400. "Equally clear is that this infection represents a life-threatening risk, especially to older people and those with chronic illness, such as heart disease or diabetes," he said.
