18 family members get COVID-19 after holiday gathering in Delaware County
MILMONT PARK, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A family's holiday party in Milmont Park, Delaware County turned out to be a COVID-19 superspreader event.
It was on December 26 that 55-year-old Darlene Reynolds woke up with a scratchy tickle in her throat. This was one day before she was planning to have family members come over from as far as Canada for a holiday gathering.
"I had no fever because I kept checking it - no fever, no fever, no fever. I said, 'I'll keep a distance since I have a tiny little cough,'" said Reynolds.
The next day, family members arrived for the party. Soon, she said, people started getting sick.
"So we were sick, but we didn't know we had COVID. We could've had the flu, but it was scary," said Reynolds. "We got tested and we tested positive. And then my husband tested positive the next day. And then (my daughter) was getting sick and she tested positive and my son tested positive."
In all, 18 family members ranging in ages from one to 62 became sickened with the virus.
Reynolds' son and husband, Stephen, ended up in the hospital. Stephen has spent the last nine days at Riddle Hospital.
"He's headed in the right direction; he'll need oxygen when he comes home," said Reynolds' daughter, Joy Purdie.
Meanwhile, Stephen's business called Mini Movers got sidelined when their truck broke down and now they have no income.
Lisa Riggin of J. Riggin Painting saw the story on Facebook and decided to step in.
"The truck's been down for a month and they haven't had income and I just don't want to see them lose their home or their business," said Riggin, who set up Venmo and PayPal accounts on her Facebook to raise money for the family.
"People are donating, not as much as I would like, but people are responding. We had a guy last night who donated $500. He doesn't even know me or her," said Riggin.
So far, Riggin has raised $4,000 for the Reynolds, who are ever grateful for all the help they can get.
"So we were sick, but we didn't know we had COVID. We could've had the flu, but it was scary,"
How f'ing stupid & ignorant can people be?
Regardless if this lady felt a "tiny little cough" or not, why are relatives coming in from Canada?0 -

It's not. Flights from Canada to the US are essentially open to anyone, and Canadians can fly back to Canada. The difficulty is with Americans flying to Canada - that is restricted to a limited number of categories. It's the land border that is closed in both directions.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

I have no idea what the data is for the US, or if they are even collecting this, but within Canada the rate of infections related to international arrivals is very low - less than 2% of cases, most months between 0.5 and 1.5%my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

I spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with only my wife and son, haven't seen my siblings or any of the in laws, and folks like the Reynolds-SuperSpreaders get fundraisers in their honor because they did exactly what they were told not to do, and the wife knew she was ill on top of it all.
It is really pissing me off that I've made all the recommended sacrifices (and so many others have as well), yet we can't make any progress towards a return to normalcy because so many selfish and/or ignorant folks like the Reynolds-SuperSpreader clan are out there.
But hey send them some money. They can use it to throw a welcome home celebration for Dad when they let him out of the hospital.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

This is a good article showing how race, immigration, labour and geography are implicit in the spread of covid-19 among the poor and marginalized showing that quarantine is a luxury of high socioeconomic status groups.I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef

Man this is stunning!
One of the things that is disturbing here (it's all disturbing) is that it states here that the number of deaths in the L.A. area will grow even higher as a result of the holiday gatherings. At the time of the holidays, the virus had been known and highly reported for 9 months. And yet people were gathering and spreading the disease? I find thaose actions stunningly horrible. What were these people thinking?jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -
Tonight Biden payed his respect for the 400 thousand dead Americans from C19 like a true good human, the orange idiot not once offered a single word of condolence to this nation!
