A recent scientific study showed that the Biogen medical conference, which was held in Boston on February 26 and 27, caused 100 cases of Covid-19, according to case trackers. .

But a team of scientists who rely on genetic sequences to track the spread of that chain of Coronavirus, they say, has spread much more, until November 1 of this year. / p>

According to Arabiya Net, Science magazine published a study in which a team of scientists said that between 205 and 300 thousand cases of coronavirus infection throughout the United States can be returned To the Boston conference.

The scientists wrote that the genetic code data reveal that the impact of the conference was much greater than about 100 cases directly related to the event.

Jacob Lemieux, lead author of the study, said that some viruses are similar as if they were pixelated and others do not, so that genetic code can be traced across time and space. According to CBS News.

The study showed that nearly half of the Covid-19 cases in the four counties that make up the Boston area have the genetic marker that linked the virus to the conference, leading to 51,000 event involvement Situation in the region.

This genetic mark began to appear in other states in early March, being especially prevalent in places where conference participants returned home. It includes the state of Florida, which accounted for 29% of the cases linked to the conference.

Lemieux said, the conference will likely have played a much larger role in the virus outbreak in the United States, including outbreaks in medical facilities, as well as Others appeared in Australia and Slovakia identical from the Boston Conference genetic code.
