The CDC found that 'daily vigorous singing and cheering' may have helped lead to the spread of COVID-19, and that windows and doors at the camp were not left open for better ventilation.

All campers and staff had tested negative within 12 days of arriving; however, one staff member developed symptoms and eventually tested positive for COVID-19, according to the report.

"These findings demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 spread efficiently in a youth-centric overnight setting, resulting in high attack rates among persons in all age groups, despite efforts by camp officials to implement most recommended strategies to prevent transmission," CDC researchers wrote in an.

"Attending Camp High Harbour is a tradition numerous generations of Y families look forward to every summer, the YMCA said in its statement."Many of these individuals reached out to the Y to express their desire for us to open our resident camps in an effort to create normalcy in their children’s lives due to the detrimental impact of COVID-19. This weighed heavily in our decision to open, a decision in retrospect we now regret.

So let’s start baseball and other sports that promote cheering and singing. “”Let’s go Yankees!” Sing “Take me out to the ballgame.”“Play ball!!”

joepalojoe Oh shut up.

2 many mixed Ethnic groups!

Hope you guys like it.. let me know...

Bullshit!!

So what, they face a 99%chance of survival or better if they are under 30

Well, so much for the 'Kick Covid19 in the butt' karaoke party I had planned.

Covid

This has to be satire. Not millions of protesters and rioters, but kids at camp.

And also the sheer stupidity

No one care about common sense.

What do you expect kids to do in camp Is the CDC watching Paulding County where hundred of kids went back to school today?

bullshit

Lol.

Oh god. Shut up. What a stupid story. 🤦🏽

pegmeerkatz . . But Not Deaths Rising. Interesting. ? You can't stop the spread of a cold or flu. That’s how coronavirus spreads here. If you get it, it's going to get you, less than the flu. StopThefear

🎶I've got the Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid down in my lungs🎶

Lies and more lies from network that supports the voices of pedophiles and rapist, and the President is also a Pedophile supporter, just so people know I'm not right or left I'm for freedom and liberty truth and justice The message of the Preamble

We’re going to need a lot better ventilation on Jan. 20, 2021.

LOL but the protests and riots somehow didn’t spread it cause the china flu knows if you’re woke.

The narrative continues...

They were protesting...it's ok.. Dr F. says so...LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Or....

Good job idiots!

If you sent your kid to Summer camp you are a true fool....

CDC lies and does what they're told

Lesson for America. Quit singing and cheering. Wear your mask and cower in your basement. In other words.... become Joe Biden!

But hollering, spitting, etc etc in all the 'protests' totally safe. No covid in fact.

Singing? Cheering? May have? It sounds like guessing to me...

No issue with George Floyd protests, his funerals, or John Lewis ceremonies.

Riots? Anyone

Are these PEOPLE even from earth Twilight Zone. And their all alone. Can you say QUACK QUACK. THEY MUST BE DUCKS.

The positive cases matter not! With a 99.9% recovery rate, what we really need to know are the death figures! That’s it! Herd immunity is the only way forward Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Operationlockstep Quantumtattoo

Reports indicate that happiness causes Covid. Please refrain from fun immediately!

What the?

Please ABC please

Yet people sing and cheer during protests and funerals. But ones use the mask excuse. Masks aren't bulletproof and there are ways to converse over Zoom if you want to discuss issues.

What about protests?

Meanwhile, I’ve seen no stories about breakouts at monasteries where vows of silence are the norm.

guess we know what the C in YMCA means these days

There's no way in hell i'd send my child to a camp during this.

So, all of it caused the problems.

I heard ABC news is a big contributor to the spread also. You guys did a terrible job of reporting cases in the beginning, could have all been avoided

What went wrong? Likely a bunch of republican idiots, believing the lies of their idiot president, and ignoring the science of social distancing, and small gatherings! What went wrong? You have got to be f****ing kidding me!

So then the protests ALSO led to the uptick!

If it was an overnight camp, I wonder how people that tested negative prior to camp tested positive later? Bad test? How do we know the other test is accurate?

Good to know that kids are reported not to be carriers of Covid. (He says with smarmy sarcasm. )

Give me a break! Somebody evil brought the coronavirus to the camp.

However all the protests didnt

NotSoProudYank 😢😷

Oh good lord, I've heard it all now

And those BLMers chanting 'WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS!?' Anything about that?

no cure for dumb ! parents must have really wanted to ship kids away from themselves !

That’s what the protesters did: singing, cheering, shouting, yelling, swearing at the top of their voices. The protesters made the Covid19 worse

Ban singing, ban cheering, ban music, ban happiness. Burn the city down though

Riots and looting in our cities probably a major cause!

This isn’t a study, it’s hypothesis based on a *single event* that was neither controlled nor monitored.

According to Democrats and the Fake News media mostly peaceful riots do not spread covid19

Idiots if you think that had anything to do with it

'It's time to talk about abolishing human interaction' --ABC in a couple days

Where else does one chant loudly close together? Hmmmm

I mean... Middle of A PANDEMIC maybe big groups of people is a bad idea like it was 4 months ago and will be 4 months from now

You are sheep if you believe everything the mainstream media says. CDC, FDA, FBI, CIA, WHO, and other organizations are corrupt.

How many were really sick?

kirstiealley no singing!

President Trump ordered the National Guard to mobilize under Title-32 in three states hit hard by COVID-19, allowing the Federal Government to pay for the troops with direction from state governors.

benshapiro your going to love this one !

Singing and cheering? Kind of like a mostly peaceful protest?

What?

😂😂😂. Funny as hell . Not rioting and people spitting at each other in anger. Good to know. YouCantMakeThisStuffUp

know where else they sing? protest

So did these children not have parents? I just do not understand how parents sent their children there knowing we are having a pandemic. I rather pretend these children were wards of the state and those people messed up The idea of parents sending their children to camp SMH!

Any speculation on the vigorous yelling and screaming that took place daily during protests?

Here is the original study on singing and viral transmission. These events took place in mid-March.

But standing shoulder to shoulder shouting at police doesn't spread the virus? This is ridiculous! Since COVID broke out business shut down, sports were canceled, schools were shut down, etc. But when BLM protests occur in the thousands, nobody says a word

You are fake news until your rightfully implicate the rioters for respreading the virus

Wow. We knew these things in april.

Yes, GovKemp is really that big of an idiot.

Pretty sure stupidity is the major factor in spreading the virus at a summer camp.

You are the destroyers of all things fun, but you pander to those destroying shit and call it mostly peaceful. Why didn’t your “news” expose Epstein? Was it cause BillClintonIsAPedo and you wanted his wife to win for your Chinese owners?

Can't believe these parents allowed their kids to go in the first place

Why doesn’t CDC stop the protests?

And nobody died.

“May have” - we need stronger language from our scientists and medical experts. Haven’t we already heard that singing leads to transmissions? If so, say that affirmatively.

But people packed close together yelling and chanting outside has zero effect.

So now fresh air helps!?

Yeah, because it’s all the kids fault.

Give me a C Give me an O Give me a V Give me an I Give me a D Goooooooo Covid!!!!! 🙄

At protests and riots, right? You just described the protests and riots.

Throwing Molotov cocktails and shitting on police cars keeps the virus away!

How many of these stories are we going to have to read. How many times do the medical experts have to repeat the same advice on how this disease spreads? We are really in a country with that many dum b people?

Disgraceful! Everyone involved should be sentenced for their selfish actions!!

Go ahead pick on the little guys

Maybe they should riot and burn down a building so they will be safe from the virus.
