LINK A Sikh Priest Ignored COVID-19 Precautions; Now 40,000 Indians Are in Quarantine | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

How fast does COVID-19 spread? One “super-spreader” in India is allegedly responsible for the required quarantining of 40,000 people.

Baldev Singh, a Sikh preacher from the state of Punjab, attended a six-day Hola Mohalla festival — an event that attracts thousands of people each day.

He died shortly after returning home and 19 of his relatives have now tested positive for COVID-19. Which means everyone they’ve been in contact with also needs to be tested and quarantined.

Yes, I have been to India and I cannot fantom how they could possible quarantine. There are people everywhere, and big families of several generations living together in very close quarters. Just a night mare.
