Health Experts Say Pro-Biden Celebrations May Have Been 'Superspreader' Events

Large celebrations following the media's projection of Joe Biden as the 46th U.S. president may have spread the COVID-19 coronavirus, according to health experts and epidemiologists who voiced concern about the lack of social distancing at the demonstrations. Thousands of people congregated in the streets this past weekend in major cities across the United States after multiple major networks projected the election for Biden on Saturday; amid an apparent resurgence of the virus, the U.S. has reportedly recorded 1 million new cases since the start of November. The public health concerns about the celebrations were covered more by right-rated media outlets, with few reports from left- and center-rated outlets. Some coverage accused Biden and left-rated media of hypocrisy for allegedly focusing too much on apparent super spreader events at the Trump White House and not enough on the apparent public safety implications of last weekend's celebrations.
