5. Funerals
Not being able to say goodbye to a deceased loved one is extremely difficult, but gathering to mourn can have serious consequences. A large group of people attended a funeral in Kershaw County, South Carolina, at the beginning of March. Multiple guests violated the restrictions and six ended up dying as a result of contracting COVID-19.
In Albany, Georgia, a town in Dougherty County, a number of participants of two funerals were also diagnosed with the virus. Such super-spreading incidents led to a domino effect in the community, and soon Dougherty County became a hot spot for the coronavirus. There were approximately 1,730 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 140 deaths in the county of 88,000 residents.
I agree. Thank you for sharing I will forward this message
Fear mongers
Better to be safe then sorry.
Save the most vulnerable wear a mask for others if not for yourself.
I agree. Fear mongering at its best If you didn’t notice, the Birthday Party story was from an event that happened in early May. Things are different now. Let’s not continue this narrative beyond what is necessary.
Totally agree with you.
This virus is 1 of the deadliest yet and still killing people of all ages.J.R from NJ.
What about protests?
Protesters have largely been wearing masks. There have been few cases of it spreading via protests. The biggest problem at all of these events is that people are not wearing masks. You wear a seatbelt, wear a mask.
I am sure protests have spread the virus but it is harder to track. It’s not like there is a list of people. They also are primarily outside & many have worn masks at some protests & at others many haven’t. I’m sure plenty of people got sick like the White house gatherings. It is serious & we can save lives just wear a mask for yourself & others,keep socially distant & wash your hands. Simple things proven to help. I could not live with the guilt if I ignored simple advice & people got sick & or died.
All I hear is bull sh##. This is another way of the government propaganda to make people into steeples and into MONK. So far I’ve seen nothing but the destruction of an economy that this president had put together. What timing that this so call virus shows up. Therefore, people needs to start thinking for themselves. Instead of letting the so called politicians tell us what’s good for us. Because, the lefties don’t give a dam about the people. TRUMP does! Look at the movie ” Demolition Man”. Then look at what’s happening in our country. Police are being replaced by Peace police. This whole thing is a set up to fail.
The economy was put together during the previous administration. You are pointing to fiction while we live in reality. What is happening in our country is that people are tired of an entire segment of the population being treated like garbage. If this is government propaganda, ask yourself: who is currently in charge of your government?
It’s people like you that support this Ignoramus-in-Chief that will drive the U.S. into third world status as he foments more and more chaos, encourages the coronavirus to spread even more, and champions the destruction of the environment with higher temperature extremes, worse droughts and uncontrolled fires, filthy air that gives everyone asthma, and water from our taps that won’t be safe to drink.
Thank you for saying the TRUTH!
You are an idiot! The virus is real……. PERIOD!
If you can stand a liar,cheat,thief,narcissistic rude crude downright mean arrogant self centered egotistical man. Did I mention liar. Im a recovering alcoholic and i never lied as much as he did. I will have website soon to prove everything I’ve said. He’s also racist and a bigot not to mention a hypocrite. 20,000,000 is an awful lot for a hooker don’t you think. Plus the initial amt he paid. Guess for probably the second time she couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Lol. How about the $380,000 of his campaign money went to his personal bank Acct.
And $24,000,000 conveniently missing despite bogus, possibly fraudulent, tax return. Next time he builds a golf course I want to be his consultant since it pays 375,000. Just like his daughter got times 2. I hope some other countries like Ireland confiscate his property there for unpaid taxes. I was there in 2016 and they did not want him to get elected because they knew they would lose jobs. I love America but would have moved out like the record number of wealthy expats around the world did the past 4 yrs if he had been re-elected. Did I mention LIAR!!!! I’m not big on Biden, but I would have voted for Donald the Duck before Donald
The DUHK. When they both speak I can’t tell the difference. They sound exactly the same. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your Fox News. I don’t care for CNN either. Can’t stand TV. What a waste of time. Music is king. I can do just about anything while listening to music. Even watch TV with no sound. I’ll watch your movie with an open unopinionated mind. One that can make extremely fact and knowledge based decisions.
Good luck. There is only one earth and we are destroying it. May only be inhabitable for 100 to 150 yrs. more
The Arctic permafrost tells it all. Amazon on fire. Oceans warming. Arctic circles falling off into ocean. Air pollution everywhere. And now a virus sent from God as a little warning shot to get our shit together. The End.
O brother! And I’m suppose to believe this.
What about riots and protests?
Mask wearers.
Typical fear mongering leftist article. What about PROTESTS and LOOTING??? No, of course not – those activities are FINE. Gimme a break. This article is Liberal nonsense
Mask wearers for the most part. You will notice that this entire article could be replaced by: These people did not wear masks – learn from their mistakes.
You forgot to add Protests
Bunch of fear mongers
So just about everything is a super spreader except for the riots…..
Not wearing masks is the problem.
When are you going to let it be known, that first the covid testing was never meant to diagnose, ineffective and secondly the numbers are falsely exaggerated, and last deaths of another nature are documented as covid. Truth, no more fiction. Enough.
Look at deaths per year, then start researching. Don’t research on Facebook or other conspiracy sites. Research sites where people actually cite sources. We are way beyond overall deaths for any year including wars.
I go to a Church every Sunday 95% of the people do not wear a mask, They look at us funny because we wear one or do they practice social distance. The Pastor said last Sunday that his wife had it back in Jan. Funny he said nothing till 16 Aug 2020. In the meantime my husband had it for 3 1/2 months, My daughter got it and I was a symptomatic. We still attend every Sunday, because this is all I know to do. May God Have mercy on us.
You are doing the right thing. I actually think that if people wore masks no matter what, this would be descending in numbers.
What happened to riots and protesters not being listed as “Super Spreaders”.
They are wearing masks for the most part.
You forgot about going to school football, basketball, volleyball, basketball and soccer games. Surely these events are just as bad.
2 different types of basketball. You have it twice. I dislike redundancy twice
A rumor mill at it best. To scare all the reader that click on the ad. Sensational reporting for click bate. This is BS, Be more specific, Names and locations if you spread this rumor junk! Go back and ready the article (rag) and look how everything is third party, or a woman, that knew someone told us. A joke!
They actually listed cases. They listed when and where. Try to think instead of following the rumor mill of social media. Try Scopes or one of the other fact checking sites.
Worldometer is a great statistic based site
Surely protests “riots” that involve hundreds and sometimes thousands of people have to rank ahead of some of the events you mentioned.
You forgot to mention protests & riots
Yes, their are lots of doom Sayers about the Virus but their are medical people that are very educated to disease & results, so I trust the facts that this is very dangerous & we must listen to the advice as to taking care to avoid getting it. We are all different & some are more prone to disease then others but why risk your life by not applying the good advice to your life. This will get better & we have to keep trying to trust those who know that they will be able to find a total cure.
What if it could be proven that viruses are not contagious? Of course this idea contradicts everything we are told. All right, then it’ll be done in three sentences:
1- We each have 380 Trillion viruses in our bodies, and every single one of them has an external negative charge.
2- To get infected, a virus must penetrate a cell.
3- But all your cells have a negative field which repels all 380 Trillion viruses and also repels any virus from any other person that would get inside your body because those viruses also have a negative external charge just like the ones already inside you.
If more people understood this, the entire fear based lockdowns could go away.
And you got this info where? I’m a very fact based person. Love statistics too! Where?
Unfortunately, people still believe Obama was a great president. Some think he was the best. However, I tend to think he was probably one of the worst. A socialist for sure and I suspect marxist bordering on communist. He set race relations back to the sixties. He made the US look weak in front of the rest of the world. The nation’s that love him liked our weakness. Both allies and enemies alike. Giving a plane load of cash to a nation that chants death to America does not need to be given a bribe that will be used to cause us harm. Iran never stopped enrichment, they would only allow inspection of facilities they had prepped and staged for inspection. No surprise or unannounced inspections. No military bases or facilities tunneled deep into their mountains. He almost single handedly destroyed the coal industry and put thousands out of work. He gave tax payers money to a company Solyndra which went bust in less than a years time.
Our economy was increasing by leaps and bounds because of president Trump and his policies. Best economy since Reagan, lowest unemployment in over 50 years. Lowest unemployment ever for minorities. Peace in the middle east. Four nominations for the nobel peace prize. Rebuilt the military after Obama decimated it. He came up with operation warp speed to get us a vaccine to end the pandemic. He cut off travel from china to prevent more infected people from entering the US and then europe as well. He had private industry start manufacturing ppe, masks ,glove, ventilators to replace what Obama had used up and left us without. He sent out the two hospital ships in a weeks time which would normally take months to prepare. He had the military construct hospital facilities in areas where hospitals were to full or isolation was a problem. He has the military logistics command ready to distribute the vaccine when it’s ready. He sent military medical personnel to areas where there were shortages. Yet after these few items I
mention, the tip of the iceberg so to speak. The Democrats, liberal and very bias press, big tech twitter, facebook, google have bad mouthed and censord him from telling the truth. Ignorance is no excuse for the citizenship to say he’s not doing his job. Promises made and kept. People hate trump more than they love their country. He should be known as our best president since Ronald Reagan. I think fraud will be proven and he should have another term!!! MAGA
My husband wears a mask, but unless you wash your hands when you get home they are useless. He does use hand sanitizer wipes. He doesn’t know where he got covid. His symptoms were about asymptomatic. My granddaughter and I caught it from him. My daughter caught it from me when I didn’t know I was in the incubation period. I got terribly sick. Got dizzy and fell in the bathroom floor. Good thing my husband was there to help me up. He took me to the ER and had to leave me at check in. My BP was very low and my heartrate was very high. They worked with me giving me fluids, medicine and potassium tablets to get my heart rate down. I was admitted and with what they were already giving me, they gav me a heart med. I’ve had many surgeries and never had any problems with my heart. The doctor ordered a sonogram of my heart and covid had sent my heart into A-fib. Now I have to take heart meds and blood thinners the rest of my life. Even though my heart rythm straighten out the doctor said if I had another serious illness I could go into A-fib again and possibly have a stroke. I was in the hospital 2 full days and when I got home I was so sick. I never had a high fever. So don’t be so flip about covid. It can affect people differently from Asymptomatic to severe. I had my 1st symptoms Oct 18, got tested Oct 20th and even though I probably don’t have covid anymore, I get so tired and still have a dry cough.

The artless didn’t come up for me to read, but it doesn’t matter. My covid case was passed to me and my husband didn’t know where he got it.
So do you really think when you see doctors in the ER rooms around the nation addressing the seriousness of this virus that they are all lieing? Do you think that hospitals that are overflowing with people in the ER rooms and laying on some floors from overcrowding is from something else? You and Trump followers are in a continual state of denial. I can’t understand why so many of you are so obsessed with this person who is supposed to represent this nation.
My my why attack the present President and his followers? Who’s in denial? Most of us follow the “safety protocols”. Why the need to attack people you don’t even know? Please stop the HATE and VICIOUSNESS. This virus is doing enough harm without your type of hate.
