Over 40 attendees of New Orleans swingers event contract COVID

 

A swingers convention in New Orleans turned into a coronavirus superspreader event after at least 41 attendees tested positive for the virus, according to an organizer.

 

In a blog post, Naughty Events owner Bob Hannaford wrote that November’s five-day Naughty in N’awlins revelry at first seemed like a safe success thanks to a plethora of pandemic precautions.

 

“We went to extraordinary measures for check-in and instituted a touchless process with required temperature checks, social distancing in line, and sanitizing upon check-in,” wrote Hannaford of the Big Easy bash, which kicked off Nov. 10.

 

“We issued wristbands in one color to indicate who had antibodies and therefore was not contagious. We issued a second color to those that showed us a very recent negative COVID-19 test,” he continued. “The wristbands even had each person’s date of their test circled.”

 

Hannaford even recalled going out to dinner with friends to celebrate the climax of the X-rated extravaganza — which turned out to be premature.

 

“The next day the texts started. We had our first positive case,” he wrote. “It was a wife who tested positive on Monday night after our event. Her husband tested negative. Both were tested prior to coming to the event.”

 

Over the following days, dozens of similar e-mails flooded in, accumulating to 41 out of the 300 attendees, wrote Hannaford in the post, which was first reported Tuesday by local outlets including alternative Crescent City weekly Gambit.

 

“Most would consider that a positivity rate of 13%, but there’s more to a positivity rate,” wrote Hannaford. “You see, we have no idea how many people got tested after our event, nor if anyone tested positive and didn’t tell us. There could also be people that are positive, but without symptoms, so they never got tested.”

 

One attendee, described by Hannaford as “a good friend” was hospitalized in serious condition, but has since been released.

 

Most other afflicted attendees of which Hannaford was aware either experienced minor symptoms or were asymptomatic, he wrote.

 

“Would I do it all over again?” mused Hannaford, noting that at the time the event began New Orleans had in place its least restrictive package of restrictions.

 

“If I could go back in time, I would not produce this event again,” he wrote. “I wouldn’t do it again if I knew then, what I know now. It weighs on me and it will continue to weigh on me until everyone is 100% better.”

 

As of Tuesday afternoon, Louisiana accounted for 232,414 of the United States’ 13,580,941 positive coronavirus diagnoses, and 6,420 of its 268,880 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

 

New Orleans city officials have already scrapped plans for 2021’s Mardi Gras parades with the pandemic still going strong.

Oral sex is producing dangerous gonorrhea and a decline in condom use is helping it to spread, the World Health Organization has said.

 

It warns that if someone contracts gonorrhea, it is now much harder to treat, and in some cases impossible.

 

The sexually transmitted infection is rapidly developing resistance to antibiotics.

 

Experts said the situation was “fairly grim” with few new drugs on the horizon.

 

About 78 million people pick up the STI each year and it can cause infertility.

 

The World Health Organization analysed data from 77 countries which showed gonorrhea’s resistance to antibiotics was widespread.

 

Dr Teodora Wi, from the WHO, said there had even been three cases – in Japan, France and Spain – where the infection was completely untreatable.

 

She said: “Gonorrhea is a very smart bug, every time you introduce a new class of antibiotics to treat gonorrhea, the bug becomes resistant.”

 

Worryingly, the vast majority of gonorrhea infections are in poor countries where resistance is harder to detect.

 

“These cases may just be the tip of the iceberg,” she added.

 

Throat infection

Gonorrhea can infect the genitals, rectum and throat, but it is the last that is most concerning health officials.

 

Dr Wi said antibiotics could lead to bacteria in the back of the throat, including relatives of gonorrhea, developing resistance.

 

She said: “When you use antibiotics to treat infections like a normal sore throat, this mixes with the Neisseriaspecies in your throat and this results in resistance.”

 

Thrusting gonorrhea bacteria into this environment through oral sex can lead to super-gonorrhea.

 

“In the US, resistance [to an antibiotic] came from men having sex with men because of pharyngeal infection,” she added.

 

A decline in condom use, which had soared because of fears of HIV/Aids, is thought to help the infection spread.

 

<h2What is gonorrhoea?

 

The disease is caused by the bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoea.

 

The infection is spread by unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex.

 

Symptoms can include a thick green or yellow discharge from sexual organs, pain when urinating and bleeding between periods.

 

However, of those infected, about one in 10 heterosexual men and more than three-quarters of women, and gay men, have no easily recognisable symptoms.

 

Untreated infection can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and can be passed on to a child during pregnancy.

 

The World Health Organization is calling on countries to monitor the spread of resistant gonorrhea and to invest in new drugs.

 

Dr Manica Balasegaram, from the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership, said: “The situation is fairly grim.

 

“There are only three drug candidates in the entire drug [development] pipeline and no guarantee any will make it out.”

 

But ultimately, the WHO said vaccines would be needed to stop gonorrhea.

 

Prof Richard Stabler, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: “Ever since the introduction of penicillin, hailed as a reliable and quick cure, gonorrhea has developed resistance to all therapeutic antibiotics.

 

“In the past 15 years therapy has had to change three times following increasing rates of resistance worldwide.

 

“We are now at a point where we are using the drugs of last resort, but there are worrying signs as treatment failure due to resistant strains has been documented.”

 

Is oral sex more common now? By BBC World online

It’s hard to say if more people around the world are having more oral sex than they used to, as there isn’t much reliable global data available.

 

Data from the UK and US show it’s very common, and has been for years, including among teenagers.

 

The UK’s first National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, carried out in 1990-1991, found 69.7% of men and 65.6% of women had given oral sex to, or received it from, a partner of the opposite sex in the previous year.

 

By the time of the second survey during 1999-2001, this had increased to 77.9% for men and 76.8% for women, but hasn’t changed much since.

 

A national survey in the US, meanwhile, has found about two-thirds of 15-24 year olds have ever had oral sex.

 

Dr Mark Lawton from the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV said people with gonorrhea in the throat would be unlikely to realise it and thus be more likely to pass it on via oral sex.

 

He recognises that while condoms would reduce the risk of transmission, many people wouldn’t want to use them.

 

“My message would be to get tested so at least if you’ve got it you know about it,” Dr Lawton said.
