Jenna "Super Spreader" Ortega

 

Sounds like the kind of thing you might want to not broadcast

Twitter won’t cry for you

but Twitter will crucify the things you do

Ms Ortega

 

why would anyone reveal this

Uhhh also blame the production for not pausing filming. Most do when there’s an actor waiting for a test result so it’s their fault for putting her in front of the camera.

She slayed tho.

Time is money.

This scene most likely took a few hours, if not an entire day, to shoot. It takes 20 minutes to wait for a test result. I'm not sure who, but someone's being dishonest here.

maybe she was already negative but still dealing with the symptoms like coughing etc. ?

 

that headline is a bit confusing and makes it look like Covid is not serious anymore... but it is I stayed home for ****ing 2 weeks because I didn't wanna infect anybody... and I was weak af. Today is the first day I went out again

unlees it was a case of a false negative with a rapid test and they decided to get a PCR

Blame the production, not the performer. She was 19 at the time and not a big name and wasn't the one with power. She told them she felt ill, and instead of waiting for a negative test before shooting the scene, they starting shooting the scene and didn't remove her from the set until her positive test came back. It's not her fault. 

Hollywood is a cruel industry (just like capitalism), and pausing filming costs a lot of money, so they would rather force people to work while sick until they have no choice but to shut things down due to regulations. 

That said, not the smartest thing for her to broadcast, especially considering the dance scene contains a LOT of people gathered together in a small space.

Covid has been like a regular flu for a good while now, it's not that serious anymore (apart from seniors).

In which case, she should never have set foot on set before the PCR result.

Risking creating a cluster out of an entire film crew is kinda riskier financially than isolating one performer.

Everybody has elder members of families. Those scenes had tons of extras involved. There really is no excuse if they did willingly take a risk.
