If you're interested in the details of how COVID-19 has spread in the U.S....
...this article details the several large meetings that people infected at the now infamous Biogen conference attended. I had been taking comfort in the idea than in Mass, "almost all of the cases are related to the Biogen meeting." In other words, no community spread yet. Well... there's no comfort to be found. But there is a great deal of curiosity-satisfaction to be found. Of course, one of the big culprits in turning Massachusetts into another Italy (see article) is lack of testing. Lack of testing! I'm on the watch for more details about how this happened.
