But a new study that sought to pinpoint how the virus spread through the city has found that 2020 Carnival revelry was responsible for tens of thousands of coronavirus cases, after a single person likely brought it to New Orleans in the weeks before Mardi Gras.

Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute, Tulane University, LSU Health Shreveport and several other institutions said in a pre-publication report released Monday that the coronavirus probably arrived in New Orleans about two weeks before Fat Tuesday, likely from a person traveling from Texas.

Study has not been peer reviewed and how they went about this posit is suspect but interesting.

I agree.

The problem isn’t exposure, it’s being vulnerable due to age or an underlying condition.

This also points to the stupidity of the lockdowns. If all it takes is one person, then all we’re doing is an inhuman waste.

I didn't read the article but how would they be able to postulate that with very little testing available at that time?
