I think Fauci the troll came up with the term super spreader to keep his name alive. What fear porn this is.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The only super spreader I know is Kamala Harris.

How many of them are in the hospital? I’m so tired of them acting like getting Covid is a death sentence.

And just like all those old white republican folk that got it in DC from a so-called super-spreader event, they’ll all be fine.

ask fauci about bug chasers and HIV

I knew a super spreader once.

Had to take Penicillin for 2 weeks.

Most of the posts on this thread are just wrong for a G-PG rated site.

But this one just BEGGED for those kinds of replies :)

“... He did not detail the event, although students told NBC4 that there have been an “abundance” of parties at the West Long Branch university.”

LOL, Kegger. Ah, the good old days...

[oil_dude]

Is anyone sick?

[hawkaw]

I think the term super spreader is annoying.

Students infected, recovered, and part of herd immunity is the best thing that today’s colleges and universities will produce.

[ripnbang]

Couldn’t have been a Biden rally...too many people are sick.

Yes, in my opinion, the term “super-spreader-event” is not a scientific term. Scientifically, we talk about “outbreaks”, and we talk about individuals being “super-spreaders”, in that they infect a lot more people than would be normal. Like if the overall R-value is 1.1, but one person hits 10-20 people, that person is a super-spreader, and it often has to do with the person having a LOT of the virus to expectorate, or the person interacting with a lot of people while sick.

I wonder how many of these 319 students became seriously ill, enough to require hospitalization? My guess is that the answer is closer to zero than to 10.

“Super-spreader”. Gotta love a scam-demic with so many catchy cliches .... /s

[libertylover]

[the university president] did not detail the event

Yeah, he/she really has a handle on it.

[ConservativeInPA]

So scary, sounds like some kids got the sniffles.

[ifinnegan]

See this post for who the actual “.super spreaders” were.

A relative of mine was one of them.

The question is why some events are “super-spreaders” and not others.

It seems the most straightforward explanation is “because someone was spreading it on purpose”. Someone Chinese, perhaps.

[Boomer]

So the people are closer to a herd immunity.

Good news!

president Patrick Leahy told students

Amazing how the elite takes care of its own.
