Biogen conference in Boston likely linked to 330,000 COVID-19 cases worldwide, researchers say

Biogen conference in Boston likely linked to as many as 300,000 COVID-19 cases worldwide, researchers say Hanna Krueger © Erin Clark/Globe Staff The conference in February at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf had far-reaching repercussions. Correction: An earlier version of this story misidentified where a 73-year-old resident died. The resident died from COVID-19 at a Westborough facility. It likely took just one of the 175 people gathered in February at a Biogen conference at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel to ignite a COVID-19 wildfire. Within a week, attendees began falling ill. More than 99 would ultimately test positive. By then, many of them had hopped aboard planes to head home or even attend other conferences. And the spread only exploded from there.
