I just made that up? It's been widely reported upon. Remember that family in New Jersey that lost five people and had about a dozen sick that made the news? While the most tragic, it was not an isolated event.
I'm Italian and still have ties to that area, where I grew up. It has impacted many large Italian families that way, as they tend to have large extended family groups that stay close to each other and spend a lot of time together. Growing up, our entire extended family of 20+ people got together every single Sunday for a large midday meal and stayed all day through an early light dinner. It's very common and, early in the pandemic, it contributed to the spread among families in the NY/NJ area.
I've seen reports about affected groups and have never seen Italians mentioned. I'm also generally pretty good at google and didn't see any results that substantiate your claim. Nothing you stated above supports your statement either. And to be clear: there have been anecdotal claims about infections happening at family gatherings...just nothing quantifying this to Italian families in NY/NJ. That is the part you made up
Not like it's the first time you've presented your opinions as fact, or used faulty logic.
