Two recent 'superspreader events' on Long Island, N.Y., — a wedding and a house party — have led to a total of 56 positive COVID-19 cases and have pushed nearly 300 people into quarantine.

Suffolk County Executive Steven Bellone announced fines on Wednesday against a Long Island, N.Y., country club and a resident for hosting events in violation of social-gathering limits.Screen grab by NPR/Suffolk County Executive/Facebook

Also facing fines is a resident in the hamlet of Farmingville whose home was the site of a house party attended by an estimated 200 to 300 people, most of them under the legal drinking age, authorities say. But not all superspreader events are illegal. A birthday party in Bellport on Oct. 17 had about 50 people in attendance — right at the legal limit.

Nice super spreader events on long Island n.y. well don't cry now long Island If you put your hand on the stove.

“Super spreader” so scary... better stay inside your basement.

My 3rd uncle ex-Marine, aunt, & cousins live on Long Island. I swear to fuckin' god if these Covidiot dumbfucks got any of them infected regardless of them taking the necessary precautions; all those got infected & survived, are going to fucking pay; & fuck their 'apologies'.

It’s New York, send them to nursing homes, they will be fine.

I mean it's Long Island ... Theys ain't tuh mosts smart folks yah knows wut im sayings?

catcii Proof that it's not restaurants or businesses causing the spikes. It's people not thinking.

How many deaths?

Long Island. That sooo figures.

Bullshit

And far, far fewer attendees that at Trump's daily rallies.

Small potatoes compared to Cheeto Twitler's rallies

OPEN UP OUR COUNTRY, IM 58 AND HAD COVID, ITS ANNOYING BUT GOT OVER IT AFTER 7 DAYS, THE MEDIA IS TOTALLY OVER BLOWING THIS, WE NEED TO MOVE ON. OPEN UP THIS COUNTRY, WE LOVE OUR FREEDOMS

Dang it! Stop being stupid.

I’m in a wedding that’s in December on LI that had the reception cancelled. Venue was charging full price for half the amount of guests...wasn’t worth cutting the list. They’re going to hold a big party next summer. Turns out that was likely a smart decision.

The only super spreader in this race is....kamala harris.

and as soon as they say, 'okay, we need to set rules for this to not happen' dumbasses will go 'but.... muh freedom'

Yo! Do tell me we can’t party ovr here! Git outta town you libbral jerk o{{ before I put a shovel to your head for a Covid Beatin’ deeze fu€ks over dere call us speadaZ and Sh!t. Yer mom’s a f’in spreader get outta here already. WTF turn up Kid Rock & letz party!

The only superspreader events are your misinformation. People are fed-up with your BS.

No one listens. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome is insanity.

I prefer COVID and quarantine over lockdown. I can fight a virus, we do it all the time. Lock downs cause depression. anxiety and stress which cause cancer. While I can fight a virus, cancer is terminal.

Yeah! So! Drop your SUPER- SPREADER garbage! Let there be rallies, so called peaceful protest and voting in person! TrumpPence2020 GoVOTE2020 quit with the manipulation of the public! AmericanFreedom Liberty

As the New York Times reported. These positives are 90% false positives. PCR tests have been set at 40 cycle threshold which means if one tests positive for the virus, one has probably battled the virus and won...months ago. Remember a 'positive' is probably cause for a party!

Russian State

Two people who attended President Trump's rally at an airport in Gaston County in North Carolina last week have tested positive for COVID-19, the county health department said Thursday.

There's no way to prove that. At all. Why are the 'scientists' so vocal about legitimate studies that are against the narrative, but silent on made-up results like this? Science is impartial. If you're not, you're not a scientist.

Death toll from these events, please?

shit =)))))$)$

Can people vote while they're in quarantine? Just asking.

DefundNPR

So now just gathering is a superspreditER event, Coved for the 19th time, it's getting old, how may new things will society be scared of, living in a constant state of fear of another boogie man, the 'Others', the rule is there are no rules, they kill you however -Azul WeAllZuL

Stupid human tricks.

Now do Trump's super spreader rallies.

How many are actually sick?

Do we know if any of the infected have been hospitalized or died from Covid?

Has anyone been hospitalized? Anyone with symptoms?

How many dead. How many hospitalizations. Stop the fear porn.

The US is a joke

Hahahah. Now do The Dakota (spelling intentional).

'Suoerspreader' events like these stupid campaigns.
