It's a nightmare scenario: a business meeting unintentionally spreads a devastating virus to thousands of people. A new report suggests that's what happened with the now-infamous Biogen conference held at the Marriott Long Wharf in February.

We untangle the primary findings of the study, which was released before it was peer-reviewed, with WBUR CommonHealth reporter Angus Chen and CommonHealth editor Carey Goldberg.

This segment aired on August 26, 2020.
