“#Giant supermarket apologizes for ‘plan a super spread’ ad<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Plan a super spread \u2014 and perhaps a super-spreader event?<\/p>\n

A major supermarket chain put its foot where its mouth is after publishing a tone-deaf advertisement in its own magazine. It shows an image of shrimp, fruit and cheese platters \u2014 in a seeming nod to gathering together to share food \u2014 with text proclaiming, \u201cHosting? Plan a super spread,\u201d TMZ reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The chain, Giant Food \u2014 which has locations in Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and in the nation\u2019s capital \u2014 ran the ad across a full page to encourage readers to host gatherings, as well as share bites with each other. But TMZ notes the choice in words are synonymous with terms related to COVID-19 outbreaks, particularly \u201csuper spread.\u201d<\/p>\n

A superspread event is a gathering in which one contagious person infects many others, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There\u2019s no specific rule for how many cases bring a gathering to superspread status, but Perry Halkitis, the dean of the Rutgers School of Public Health, said \u201ca 10-person birthday celebration or 100-person wedding can all be superspreading events. It only takes a single infected person to infect many.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, with COVID-19 cases rising in the New York tristate area, as well as in other parts of the nation, the governors of New York and New Jersey recently issued executive orders both discouraging travel<\/a> for Thanksgiving and limiting indoor gatherings to 10 people or fewer. Despite it all, a new survey found that more than a third of Americans plan on having Thanksgiving dinners with 10 or more people.<\/p>\n

Giant Foods, for its part, has apologized.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile, in hindsight, the choice of words was a poor one, Giant had no intentions of insensitivity,\u201d it said in a statement.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
