Will the Wuhan Virus infect the media? Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) held a conference in New Orleans a week ago. Unfortunately, someone who attended tested postive for Covid 19. Nola.com reported March 10:
At least one person in attendance at a national journalism conference held in New Orleans last week tested presumptively positive for the novel coronavirus, organizers announced late Tuesday.
The conference, which ran from Wednesday evening through midday Sunday, was the annual gathering for the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting. That organization, known as NICAR, is part of Investigative Reporters and Editors, or IRE, a national nonprofit that offers training where journalists learn best practices from one another.
More than 1,000 people attended the conference, which was held at the Marriott Hotel on Canal Street. Those attending the conference came from an estimated 20 countries, according to Doug Haddix, IRE's executive director.
According to a statement issued by IRE officials, the person who tested positive attended the conference from Thursday through Saturday afternoon. The person, who stayed at the Marriott, experienced mild symptoms, tested positive on Tuesday and plans to stay self-quarantined for 14 days.
The organization said based on the limited symptoms, the attendee could have contracted the virus, before, during or after the conference.
WVUE-TV reported that the person who tested positive visited the station's offices "for a short period of time." Rest of article.

Your computer can catch the coronavirus. I read it on the internet.
Pandemics infect everyone. That's how pandemics work.
Do we have any way to prove that the media and hollywood have become infected? Seems like more a bunch of virtue signaling.
We know this was planned out last year during Event 201 and we know which lab in which "ally" this was created.
However, shills like Kingfish just keep repeating "Wuhan" even though it is well known who created this bioweapon.
Getting a little sick of all the Louisiana news.
Is this meant to elicit sympathy Kingfish?
There have been infected people at several large conferences and resorts where conservatives that are admired by the current GOP were present.
The point should be that the problem with this virus is the people who dismiss their headache or scratchy throat or don't take their temperature every day before going out will spread it and kill others.
You picked the media but didn't pick AIPAC or Mar-a-Logo gatherings?
Those in the partisan biased media (liberal and conservative) will make the US look worse than Italy if they don't get that not every damn thing should be political.
All the media needs to start trusting math and science or the worst predictions will be realized.
MS's current count is 10 out of 90 tests. How were those tested selected? Is the MDHS testing or notifying for quarantine those with whom the first 10 have had contact? Or are the test coming from doctors whose patients have symptoms only? Or are they testing VIPs and health workers?
Kudos to churches who streamed their services yesterday. Kudos to those groups cancelling activities for at least 2 weeks with a review then. And, that would have been a better header this morning.
Kudos to everyone who gets that we are a community of humans that need to pull together and help each other through this challenge!
I wish the entire news media would be quarantined.
Boys y'all always jealous of Louisiana and the undefeated National Champion L.S.U. Tigers.
