Sweet 16 'super-spreader' party in New York leads to 37 coronavirus cases, $12,000 fine

NBC News

An illegal Sweet 16 party outside of New York City turned into a coronavirus "super-spreader event" that sickened more than three dozen people, authorities said.

The birthday bash was held on Sept. 25 at the Miller Place Inn on Long Island — about 65 miles east of Manhattan — and drew 81 people, Suffolk County Executive Steven Bellone said on Tuesday.

That party was in violation of emergency state health codes that limit gatherings to 50 people or 50 percent of room capacity, whichever is a smaller number.

Partygoers also failed to wear masks and maintain social distance, according to Bellone. The 37 people linked to the event who tested positive consist of 28 students and nine adults.

Live updates: Barron also had coronavirus but has now tested negative along with Melania Trump

Source: Washington Post

President Trump’s son, Barron Trump, tested positive for the coronavirus about the same time as his parents, but has since tested negative, the first lady disclosed Wednesday.

“Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms,” Melania Trump wrote in an online post released by the White House. “In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together.”

The first lady said she has also tested negative, after both she and her husband got covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. She called her symptoms “minimal.” The president has also received a negative test, his doctor said this week.

People with blood type O may have lower risk of Covid-19 infection and severe illness

Source: CNN

(CNN)People with blood type O may be less vulnerable to Covid-19 and have a reduced likelihood of getting severely ill, according to two studies published Wednesday. Experts say more research is needed.

The research provides further evidence that blood type (also known as blood group) may play a role in a person's susceptibility to infection and their chance of having a severe bout of the disease. The reasons for this link aren't clear and more research is needed to say what implications, if any, it has for patients.

A Danish study found that among 473,654 people who were tested for Covid-19, only 38.4% with blood type O tested positive -- even though, among a group of 2.2 million people who were not tested, that blood type made up 41.7% of the population.

In the other study, researchers in Canada found that among 95 patients critically ill with Covid-19, a higher proportion with blood type A or AB -- 84% -- required mechanical ventilation compared with patients with blood group O or B, which was 61%.
