CES convention held in Las Vegas earlier this year may have played a key role in spreading the coronavirus throughout the US, report reveals
[MAIL] A report claims to have evidence that this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas played a key role in spreading the coronavirus throughout the US.
The event, held in January, carried on amid the outbreak happening in China, which experts say created 'an ideal venue for transmission.'
Multiple attendees became seriously ill following the days after CES, but was dismissed as nothing more than having the 'CES flu' that occurs every year.
However, these individuals suffered different symptoms than previous years including fever, shortness of breath, dry cough, pains and body aches – all of which are caused by COVID-19.
A professor who attended the conference came down with a sickness after the event and recently tested positive for the coronavirus – making his case 'the first clear evidence that the virus was likely circulating at the conference.'
The conference was attended by more than 180,000 people, many of whom were from outside of the US, and more than 100 of the people traveled from Wuhan, China where the coronavirus first began.
