A staffer at a San Jose, California emergency room may have acted as a “one-person super spreader” after they tried to bring some cheer to their colleagues and patients by wearing an inflatable Christmas tree costume. Several dozen staffers have since tested positive for coronavirus, and investigators are looking into if the outbreak, which saw 43 people test positive for COVID-19, was linked to the inflatable costume. The fan that kept the costume inflated circulated unfiltered air.
