A surprise guest was expected at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) held last week in Chicago. While most were expecting Taylor Swift or Beyonce to turn up, it was COVID-19 - an invisible enemy that tormented much of humanity in the last few years, that arrived at the DNC and infected multiple attendees.  There are growing fears that the DNC may have been a superspreader event, according to a report in the NY Post. Several attendees took to social media to share their experiences and symptoms, suspecting they may have contracted the virus.

    I mean sure, it’s a surprise if you’re not paying any attention. I’m stuck in bed with my first case because I got cocky and didn’t wear a mask when I flew last week. The virus is very much still with us.

    The first thing I thought seeing all those people crowded together was a bunch of them are gonna get it or give covid to others. With the cases raging recently there was definitely people there who were already infected. I really hope anyone who’s particularly susceptible/immunocompromised took proper precautions
