A California tech executive has admitted his "COVID Immunity Bubble" turned into a superspreader event, infecting over two dozen conference-goers in the process.
In a blog posted on his personal website, Peter Diamandis, who co-founded several space companies and the Silicon Valley business incubator Singularity University, says he didn't want to nix the in-person portion of his yearly business conference. Instead, despite California's guidance against doing so, he put together a hybrid event for his annual Abundance 360 Summit, with some attendees watching sessions virtually and a number flying in to attend in person.
