A federal report details how a potential 'super-spreading event' in Chicago likely infected 15 people at two family gatherings, three of whom died of COVID-19.
In February, a Chicago man hugged members of a grieving family at a funeral and shared meals with them. A few days later, he attended a birthday party, where he also hugged and shared food with members of another family.
The CDC said the findings in this tragic case illustrate how important social distancing is to preventing the spread of COVID-19, even within families.The evening before the funeral in February, the Chicago man shared a three-hour takeout meal, eaten from common serving dishes, with two family members of the deceased at their home.
Before the person died, they were visited in the hospital by a family member who had also been in close physical contact with the index patient at the funeral. Five of them experienced mild symptoms, including a cough and low-grade fever. Two others, who were hospitalized and required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, died.
The index patient"was apparently able to transmit infection to 10 other persons, despite having no household contacts and experiencing only mild symptoms for which medical care was not sought," the report said.

Man Honestly Thinks He’s Going To Get To Bed EarlyDANBURY, CT—Entertaining outlandish delusions of actually getting in a solid eight hours of sleep, 29-year-old Josh Briner is honestly under the impression that he will be going to bed early, sources confirmed Thursday. “I made sure I had no plans tonight so that I can just turn in at 10 and get some serious rest,” said the poor, naive fool who despite having a laptop next to his bed, four different shows he needs to catch up on, and a proclivity for wasting hours at a time on social media sites is genuinely convinced that he will be asleep at a reasonable hour. “It’ll be nice to wake up feeling refreshed for once.” At press time, Briner reportedly said “fuck it,” resumed watching Sherlock on Netflix, and vowed that tomorrow he’d definitely be in bed by 9.
