Coronavirus outbreak at Biogen meeting in Boston

This is a little unsettling. Biogen is a huge international biotech
company. They held a meeting at the Marriott Long Wharf hotel last
week involving about 175 members of their senior management team,
including the chief executive, chief financial officer, and head of
research and development.

So far, five Massachusetts residents and three people from out of
state who attended the meeting have tested positive for Covid-19.
Additionally, an Indiana resident who was in Boston at the same time
has come down with the virus. Two of the people from the meeting who
tested positive are from Europe,

If nothing else this illustrates how incredibly contagious the virus
is, and how likely it is to become widespread in this country. No
doubt it will touch all of us in some way.

They just had some old geezer die at LeMo and the spouse is on the
roof. It was the only thing on the TV this afternoon but no real
facts. They did say they just got here from somewhere but wouldn't say
where. They also said they had "underlying health issues".
