CDC Oops.

More than 30 people who attended a conference organized by the CDC's "disease detectives" likely were infected with COVID-19 at the event last week, the agency said.
The CDC hosted the 4-day conference that started April 24 at a Crowne Plaza hotel just outside Atlanta, which is the hometown of the agency's headquarters. The conference was free and open to the public. The agency billed it as a showcase for "recent groundbreaking investigations and innovative analyses conducted by EIS officers – better known as CDC's disease detectives."
"CDC is working with the Georgia Department of Health to conduct a rapid epidemiological assessment of confirmed COVID-19 cases that appear to be connected to the 2023 EIS Conference to determine transmission patterns," CDC spokesperson Kristen Nordlund told The Washington Post.
