A super spreader event?



People stood in line until their appointment time and were allowed in five at a time for screening before receiving the coronavirus vaccine Thursday in Brooklyn Center.

I did not even try to log on but there is no way I would stand in that line and today, with the howling wind.

This doesn't look like a super spreader event to me. Outside and masked? That goes a long way. WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2021 #3

While there doesn't look like a whole lot of social distancing is goin' on, at least they're in a line, and all appear to be wearing masks.

Not like they're bunched together, or inside, or all refusing to wear a mask. When I think of a superspreader event, that's what comes to mind.

I'm not going to stand in a line anywhere. I'd rather wait until I can get vaccinated by my regular medical clinic.
