(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Fans of the Golden Globe awards are on high alert after actress Jamie Lee Curtis tested positive for COVID-19 following the awards show. Many are now claiming that the ceremony was a super-spreader event.
The news of Curtis’s positive test comes shortly after the sudden and unexpected death of Lisa Marie Presley, who was there supporting best dramatic actor winner Austin Butler for playing her father in the eponymous biopic Elvis.
Some noted that Presley seemed ill prior to the event, although speculation has run rampant as to whether it might have been COVID or the COVID vaccination, drug abuse or some yet unknown factor.

According to MSN, very few guests at the Golden Globes were wearing masks and Beverly Hills is reporting over 11,000 cases. This is enough evidence for social media users and media outlets to claim the ceremony as a super spreader event.
The single case resulted in hundreds of people calling for the reinstatement of masking mandates, further encouragement of vaccinations and a return to smaller scale or virtual events.
“Jamie Lee Curtis was at the very maskless #GoldenGlobes and I’m just BEGGING people to 1.) wear a f–king mask (correctly! and preferably a high quality one),” one user wrote. “And 2.) stop going to these big a– gatherings. Find/advocate for another way!”
