India’s coronavirus tally has reached 6 million cases, double the total recorded barely a month ago and second overall only to the U.S.the study authors said their work showed one strength of the country’s response: the ability to mobilize large numbers of health workers and civil servants to conduct contact tracing, identify high-risk individuals and closely track their cases.
In Tamil Nadu, which includes the coastal metropolis of Chennai , thousands of public and private healthcare workers were trained as contact tracers and health surveillance officers. The state had experience identifying at-risk populations from its battle against AIDS, which struck Tamil Nadu harder than almost anywhere else in the country.Sign up for the latest news, best stories and what they mean for you, plus answers to your questions.

Thank you globalization!
Big mistake America did was to weaken health care system for all ( even the poor) by allowing greedy corporates. Enemy was watching, hit this weak spot. Christmas surprise! (As per Kim) A superpower crumbled. Even the president is hurt by the Chinese virus. Imagine.

Excellent misrepresentation of data. This article describes “super-spreading events,” not “super-spreading individuals.”
I mean no disrespect but doesn’t the majority there wipe with their hands? 💩🙏
Their first names are Donald and Melania.
looks more like super crowding
This BS reporting needs to end. Coronavirus fear spreading is the issue, not the actual virus.
I would be very interested in IndependentSage view on this reported study and whether public health colleagues in India are able to get their experience of local intensive contact tracing benefits broadcast on the world stage?
In Dallas area, schools are just suppressing information to family and employees on positive COVID19. The lawsuits after all this is going to be impressive. Get ready for commercials that start, “did you get Covid at work”?
Now do riots!
More fear mongering bs
thats me one of super spreader imune and god like beings. immune to somethin that has a 0.000000000001 chancrie to kill 😂😂🤪😂
More fear spreading using faux science. Anyone who thinks a paper mask, eyes exposed is stopping a 'killer virus' needs a psychiatrist.
The virus brings so much chaos in the world. Message us if you want to find peace through Jesus Christ!
GreatDismal Another good reason for people to use masks that protect the user. Quality N95/P100 masks that protect our medical personnel will protect you. We need 500 million N95/P100 masks, and we can’t wait until January.
It's not. It isn't the people who are super spenders it's the transport, the study just confirms that.
You shouldn’t call Kamala a super-spreader...that’s not nice.
More bullshit
Fear mongering. Notice that you compared the death rate of the whole of USA with Tamil Nadu not the whole of India who has a very low death rate of 72 per million compared to 641 per million in the USA. No mention either that HCQ is widely used in India.

Everyone knows only Trump don't know
Ahhhhhh! But is it not a case of everyone else being massive receivers? For reading this shit? Stop fucking me with this blatant scaremongering.
Superspreaders of Covid BS are a massive problem. This is about as real as Santa Claus - sorry kids but you've gotta know some day.
So what.
Riots looting violence super spreaders
I have low immunity, not AIDS. I still don't want to live locked down in a societal prison out of fear. MM arr
It's important to keep the distinction between super-spreader people and super-spreading events. I don't think there's any evidence for the former, but there's lots for the latter.
Why blame the individuals? They are not spewing virus in all directions. They happen to be in close contact with a large number of people. The event is super spreader.
And Biden had a rally yesterday with no social distancing. Shame.
Pretty hard to spread a fake political weapon
Well, “SuperSpreader” ReasonsWHY History accountability TOO! ....& they have “NAMES AND ADDRESSES” is that simple🇺🇸📜⚖️🏛👈🤔🗳🧾💸🧬🦠🧪🌏
Ya but the whole point is they are putting kids in school saying they don’t spread it which is a total bunch of bullshit
This is actually really good news. The virus is weaker than we thought. Only 30% of ppl who catch the virus can spread it. 70% will not infect anyone else. This means if someone in your house gets it then its NOT guaranteed that you too will get the virus like previously thought.
Ion_Thomas Darllen hwn
Tell us some more bullshit! We're sick of you're agenda MSM. Fear will not control us.
The amount of propaganda in this article is astonishing!
oh gtfo with your fear mongering nonsense. 65% the world dont believe your 99.96% death rate.

I live in Andhra Pradesh since 1994 after leaving USA where I had BSEE from Purdue and MSEE. What are the two states, is there a questionnaire, how the sample is collected: from hospitals, families, households in apartments? Not wearing mask is a variable of Superspreaders.
Stay home if your a Democrat Dont go to work amd dont go out. Just stay inside.
15 days to flatten the curve.
Like a bunch of damn Typhoid Mary's walking around just sharing COVID huh? Mask up and wash you damn hands. Omg I'm praying it helps and we all make it through winter
These super-lie-spreaders keep rolling this tyranny out in the same manner they spread the lie of the fake Aids crisis. Covid 19 is just Aids 2.0. This video will completely explain it ⬇️
My town just voted to start in person schooling this month.... it’s like they want ppl to die. I mean flu season is starting up now too. The numbers here are increasing not decreasing. Seriously wth is really going on if you reopen schools now of all times?
Death rate for all reported cases in US is 2.8%... This is not separating high risk population numbers, listed as contributing factor, or the several cases where COVID test was positive and cause was solely to receive federal COVID dollars. For healthy people it is a non issue.
So pitiful, god bless them.
Gotta keep that fear up!
Learn, remember, do your best to protect yourself and your family.
In Democrat-land ….. We Democrats are SO damn righteous & morally superior that we can't spread COVID19! Only Trump supporters & non Democratic voters spread the virus. Did Health Experts Sacrificed Their Credibility For Politics?
These filthy mask are a tool in the super spreaders arsenal. Now go play with your mask and pilfer thru the produce in Kroger that others will consume
I don't think everyone understands what 'superspreader' means in the context of a person. Here's a good explanation as it relates to Covid & different superspreader people. Like the first recorded SS, 'Patient 31' in S. Korea & the New York Lawyer SS.
Trump and his campaign are super spreaders. No masks large bogus rallies. Time to ban all rallys in usa🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing this most extensive study by India & US researchers
Gooob
That is real but however, most of us will be fine. Vulnerable people continue to shelter in place
FakeNewsMedia FakeNews
Two weeks ago my family and I were hanging out with my best friend. She kept complaining she had a fever. I kept telling her she “was cool as a cucumber “. Didn’t hear from her for a week. Called me and told me she tested positive. Bahaha. Nothing, all 8 of us are fine. Lol
This is too much
The media is out of control with this shit!!!
You are virus terrorism super spreaders. Why don't you spread love of vegetables, exercise and healthy lifestyles instead? Diabetes, blood sugar and hypertension will kill millions in the next few months. Where is the love?
99.9% survival rate. There are 3x as many people dying from pneumonia and the flu right now. Do some fucking research...oh wait, you can't because you're blinded by bias.
Nope.
A pen is mightier than sword & A machine (car) is better than women. (for men's emotions) RelationshipGoals LoveIsland love life carsales automobile
They have data, I dont see any systems which analyses, surveys, debates & corrects bad women or consider them as a risk towards the productivity of men, macroeconomics & the entire nation. MenToo MeToo
Air crash investigators look for family dispute (wife) as a reason for pilot error & airplane crash, then I read about the risk of a bad woman taking down an entire government dont know how & what mindset, experience the guy had, clearly it's a major risk nobody is talking about
just avoid as many people as possible
Its started in the UK now! Never heard of superspreaders before! Complete & utter bullshit. Don't matter how many times you spin the bottle, it only stops & points in one direction. Big pharma!
No one cares...
Bunch of Typhoid Marys running around. That’s a nightmare
Get the word out...
Lol. Something that does not exist cannot be spread.
I try to spit in everyone’s mouth just to make sure.
'essential role of superspreader'? Always weird to find out who is essential and who is considered non essential.
As usual, another baseless study. Even if this was true, your cowardice does not stop anyone else's freedom. Live with it
This is true for lots of infections - we all have different susceptibilities & infectiousness The language used is unhelpful & potentially puts people against each other
Wow, who could have imagined that children actually transmit the virus and all claims otherwise were actually just ignoring that all large group activities involving kids had been cancelled.
super duper spreader of the covid like we always knew coughed on me and you stay out of bars thats where they do
Do people still believe this bullshit?
now that they caught on india gov is going to eat its dissidents inside out
Why is there no link to an actual study and WHO funded it? Is it a famous billionaire 'philanthropist'? Looks Like Another Completely Fabricated Piece of Fearmongering Vaccine-Pushing Propaganda.
For a disease that IF you actually have it & IF you have significant comorbidities then your chances are still excellent
Bullshit.
Democrat's want to keep the country shut down. Updated U.S. survival rates based on age for contracting Covid19: 0-19 99.997% 20-49 99.98% 50-69 99.5% 70+ 94.6% Doctors/Govt/Public - we all know more now than back in Jan/Feb/March
This is the same idiot who claimed that by May 15th 100million would be dead or infected.
Biden's a super spreader. Pass it on.
This was always obvious from the linear trends in graphs, eg New York in March, April, AND I shouted about it but Twitter restricted me. Of course dosing of population could achieve same results, but hey, if you need to blame super spreaders....
This article is a Super BULLSHIT Spreader lol!!!
More sinister BS from the Gates Foundation grant supported . You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
Fear mongering propaganda. Lol
SCHOOL OPENING ,....EXTREMELY RISKY AFFAIR ?🙄😷
Gin up the panic for the election
Stop making people afraid of other people. Its just constantly making people afraid. Stop it. This is bullshit.
And on goes the fear porn. This is a religion for some people now! We'll live our lives. Those that are still being duped by this 7 months on, can stay masked up behind the sofa if they want. We're leaving you hopeless cases behind.
And 99.95% will live.
'super spreaders'
What's the false positive rate
What a propaganda piece.
Our biggest issue is our fear-driven response. Instead of understanding and recognizing our testing goals, we have adopted a policy of 'OMG,everyone wear masks and get tested.'When we should be running tests at lower cycles, done more quickly,targeting the very contagious people.
🤷♂️
More complicity by the MSM in perpetuating a global fraud. This article suggests limiting human behaviour even though the study is incomplete and the logic is nonsensical.
Of course children are spreaders, how could they not be? The human body is designed to resist germs, in that way it builds a natural defense & herd immunity can happen but unfortunately it’s age effective, so until there’s a vaccine for Covid19. Opening schools ? Hello MaskUp
Masks are political theater. Brought to you by PA Governor Tom Wolf. Don't buy the lies y'all
Don't care.
“Laxminarayan and his colleagues found that just 8% of people with COVID-19 accounted for 60% of the new infections observed among the contacts. Meanwhile, 7 out of 10 COVID-19 patients were not linked to any new cases.”
So what? In the UK cases have long since diverged from deaths. So what if there are 7000 new cases a day? and?
Super Spreading that glorified flu with the 99.9% survival rate. Thanks for the heads-up. Our family and friends will continue to take the zero precautions we've done since March. Also, stay home. We like the smaller crowds and better parking.
HA. Yea i saw videos of them attending block parties, over-packed house parties, licking door knobs, licking ice cream in the supermarket, drinking from soda and putting it back...
Super-spreaders ARE REAL!! Biden2020
how I imagine superspreaders:
🤷🏽♂️ you mean the super spreading of fear? Surely...
More FEAR MonGeRiNg.....
Are peaceful (and otherwise) protests included?
The UK death % for the 'deadly virus' known as Covid-19 is...0.07% The worldwide death % for the 'deadly virus' known as Covid-19 is...0.013% Something is seriously wrong regards the reaction to this 'pandemic'.
Stop, it’s over, we’re gonna live our lives now
Yes, imagine for instance if thousands of dipshits spent four months rioting, looting, and setting minority neighborhoods on fire in the middle of a pandemic.

Raphaelite_Girl You cannot support that claim with that data.... without lying that is. You cannot say that statistically 8% of the people in the experiment drove the infection without first ruling out that each individual had equal or likely completely different levels of transmissibility....
Load of bullshit
Yeah. They are called looters and rioters
They’re called BLM inc and they are funded by George Soros and the Open Society Foundation working with Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic leadership to take down Trump and eventually destroy America history and pride imho.
What a load of 💩💩💩
more lies to fuel the narrative that there is a pandemic. There isnt. So much proof has come out from hundreds of docs w'wide telling us that this whole thing is a hoax. There is a virus - its similar in stats to flu. But its not pandemic, & only 1% of infected will even get sick
This is complete bullshit. The LA Times should be absolutely ashamed of itself. Stop doing the propaganda work of the CCP. STOP!
🤔👩🔬
I am more concerned about women spreading infection of hatred in this country
Super spreaders? You mean like these guys?
Thank you, but The LATimes has been completely discredited by the lies you publish and the brazen campaigning you do for the Democrat party. Very few people believe anything you publish.
'are very real'? Not just real? Odd phrasing
Fear porn and bs.
Covid is the scam of the century.
Fauci says asymptomatics are NOT spreaders
Enough with this BS! CovidisOver The real super-spreaders are the BLM and AntifaTerrorists helping Biden
The WHO says asymptomatics ARE NOT spreaders
If nobody gets sick doesn't matter. PCR tests aren't cases. When you will try real journalism and report it
Professor Heneghan from Oxford University shows how testing is 90% false due to CT rates used
A load of shite
Real bull💩
Study 🤔😂
Covid is nothing more than an aggressive flu. In the United States we typically you lose about 80,000 people during flu season. This year, we've lost about 140,000 if you remove the fraudulently reported deaths. This is a hoax PotomacRats are using to consolidate power.
8% of people with COVID-19 accounted for 60% of the new infections. 😒 WearAfuckingMask
BS! ScamdemicIsOver! LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE CrimesAgainstChildren ! CrimesAgainstHumanity !
Unbelievable reporting. Literally
Why did you choose this angle for your article? Surely the important take away was that you shouldn't sit in a bus with a load of people for 6 hours.
They are called ChiComs that rub germs on handles, switches in public places. Close the borders and deport.
Riots and Looting in mass gatherings cures Covid.
There's no such thing as a super spreader. ChinaVirus ends after the announcement of Trump2020Landslide.
This is irresponsible journalism... shame on you, LA Times - we have enough problems trying to get COVID-19 contained without losing our minds. We don't need you to validate talking points from COVID deniers - there's also enough problems trusting the media and CDC. THIS is why.
Super Spreader? I think I've heard that name somewhere before...
Stop this propaganda omg lol shit
super-spreaders are all the protesters!
GFYS
Test the Mask. The Covid-19 is captured in the masks. YouTube Link:
Your twitter feed says 'Very real' ?
Best healthcare in the world? Our mortality rate is 5x India's. We don't have the resources to effectively do contract tracing--unlike the super-wealthy countries of India & S Korea. DNC JoeBiden KamalaHarris SpeakerPelosi MedicareForAll
This still doesn't get rid of my fear of dying.
Interesting. My feed was telling me there were 250 or so comments on this very tweet, now it's telling me 141.
I remember being one😍 amazing times, I knew I had it and tested positive and went out as much as I could everywhere so everyone else around me could get infected 😍😍😍
FakeNews personified
I'm getting pretty sick and tired of this fucking hysteria everywhere I turn in the media and internet. Give it a goddamned rest. 6% of the CV-related deaths are attributable ONLY to Covid. IFR is lower than that for most winter flu epidemics given that fact. Stop already!
Covid super spreader...are you talking about Trump? 🤷♂️
This literally looks like the shittiest house from Rust. I'm 100% sure nobody lives here, and if they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they caught a respiratory infection.
donetodeath
Propaganda. As much as I wanted Santaclaus 🎅 to be real, he doesn't exist either, unfortunately. Give it up will you.
Fake news
One of Historical Pandemics saddest tales ? Is that of Typhoid Mary. And a lesson for us all.
In India!!! Is it thee exact same strand of Virus Something tells me we have better🧼Running Water and more available hand sanitizer. Terrible Article fearmongering FakeNews
are super-spreaders gonna be featured on this season of TheBoysTV ?!
Yeah yeah yeah!!! You should be accountable of super spreading fear!!!!
If only the Covid facts matched your article. Of course, you and that Joy Boy Newsom will make this all go away the day after the election.
This is fear mongering. STOP IT.
This is nothing but weak, bullshit propaganda that has no legitimate data and only promotes the surveillance state while preying upon the scared, uninformed, distracted masses. They count on you buying this absolute nonsense. Counter this shite by spending actual time researching
If we're to believe the drastic effects of Covid-19 crap & super-spreaders, then most of India, Africa should be under the bus. You're ridiculous feeding this leftist fodder to the masses. Give the people professional journalism, not lies. MAGA2020 realDonaldTrump
Exactly what Trump does because he is self-serving first.
The biggest “superspreader” event in the USA since “covid” struck was the Sturgis biker rally with 400,000 maskless attendees dancing in the streets for 10 days. Of the half million bikers, many obese, how many have died from “covid”? One.
The inventors are the super-spreaders⤵️ US10130701B2 - Coronavirus - Google Patents
How about promoting good news?! How about the latest CDC survival rates? 1-19: 99.997%, 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70 & over: 94.6% 1/2 of deaths in the 70+ group are from the Dem. governors' bad policies in nursing homes.
Lol now there's SUPER SPREADERS? lol omg.... Get on with it. Do what you got to. Just remember nobody believes this shit.
Propaganda 'super-spreaders' are very real. 👇Tell them to f*ck off, and then get back to enjoying your lives.
Just another attempt to profit from people's fear of a sudden death.
No such thing as a super spreader of unicorn farts.
As always people will stay away.
Where do you come up with this shit? Lol
Donald Trump is the super-spreader and MurdererinChief. How can someone so dangerous be POTUS--he should be called MOTUS
The Times should be ashamed. 'Infections' are a misnomer. Nasal swabs are subjected to PCR amplification. At this point w/ current settings as they are, a 'positive' result may mean one is 63-78 days from onset. In other words, one has battled the virus and won, 63-78 days ago!
lol BLOCKED
It’s called: Donald Trump. 1 super spreader 2 super spreader - Ol Jim Justice of WV—but he’s giving you guys manipulated numbers.
sure, yeah right, not even going to read, its all been lies the whole time, this thing has a lower mortality rate than the flu for anyone under 70. Yes if you are 90 and you get sick with ANYTHING you have a great chance of dying. Get over it people
Most useless article: it reveals nothing new or helpful. The title is misleading
The only super spreaders are you guys in the media that spread the bullshit across this country for everybody to see the media has been super spreading bullshit for decades there is no more journalist in this country all you folks are easily bought and paid for.
I thought COVID related articles weren't supposed to be behind your paywall.
LA Times knows the truth. Aliens are real and green.
But did the researchers gather host/viral genotype samples to determine genetic mechanism? Super spreaders are by definition resistant to morbidity but hyper efficient producers of droplets with covid19. Might have been a good idea.
super spreaders more fear mongering bought and paid for propaganda stop read this propaganda bs people
If you don't wear a mask you have to sign a waiver that says you'll stay away from the hospital when you catch COVID19 antimasker Liberty
Bullshit. I took a friend to a hospital/emergency this weekend and there 100s of people testing for COVID. When I left, I was not told to quarantine and there were no strict enforced rules to quarantine. Doctors didn't think it was necessary eventhough I visited a 'hot zone'
In this study, when they discussed the people in same indoor space (traveling etc) that caught the virus, there is no mention as to whether the carrier and or the others were wearing masks. Is that mentioned in the study, did I miss it?
Seriously, who even buys this bullshit anymore?
Is this like the final boss in a video game?
Indian?
Yawn fakenews
More fear-mongering by the LA Times. Nothing new.
No they’re not. Over 99% of infected people recover and most don’t even know they had it
no one cares anymore.
Oh well. Thats why im following measures
Super spreader is what Willie Brown called Kamala.
flu and colds are the after-effects of these toxic chemicals, , it's triggered by weather changes, hence flu seasons, there's no virus only the ones your body generates inside the cell nucleus.
Tells me that everyone needs to 'hole-up' and stop all this running all around the place. Knock-it-off...for the sake of humanity! Don't be selfish jerks! and WEAR MASKS! COVID19 MaskUp
Sounds pretty racist to me
Real science is hidden and highjacked by psychopaths, to fit their Agendas, they are hiding the criminalities of GMO in our foods/water, the air we breathe and calling it a pandemic !
Liars, there is no virus, viruses are not airborne, nor living organisms, they are created by cells in our body to aid toxic waste removal caused by foods/water/drink/air industrial chemical pollutants our body absorbs daily, those are the real causes of human/illness and death.
releasethenames
SuperSpreader DontBeThatGuy 😏
Ummmm no
Totally different culture, sanitation, group dynamics etc. etc. Keep keeping your readers in high anxiety. Its what you do.
I don’t know, man. I read the article and while it makes some good points that are scien-fucking-tifically proven by epidemiologists and doctors, there are a lot of people on Twitter and Facebook that say this is all a hoax. So I’m just not sure who to believe. sarcasm 😑
External validity of this study is likely poor. India? Isn't that where people grow extra limbs? The hygiene of that place is very poor compared to the rest of the world.
Things will get better.
Who cares!
No need to read, the headline shows exactly what the entire world has said for months. Way to catch up America after more than 200,000 deaths. But oh well ok
Amazing. Shows how 'clarity of thought' and commitment -- even in what Americans look upon as a 'second world country' -- can augment knowledge and help stop the spread.
Yawn
Are they the 2020 version of Biden’s super predators?
The tests are illegitimate therefore the numbers are illegitimate. propaganda
trick or treat!!!!!
Well no shit there’s a kid who’s literally not wearing a mask in the photo.
N
Ssshhhut the fuck up?
DrSubhasree
In other words stop protesting or use social distancing guidelines that are in place.
Census Bureau creating COVIDー19 national super spread=forcing interviews of people indoors who will not wear mask vs calling Enumerator hotline-which they use for those who were not home at visit-Also using May 4 CDC policy-I was fired for trying to stop this-looking for help
coronaisdead Don't care. We are taking back our lives.
