The rallies, or any other outdoor event, are pretty low-risk. Bars in downtown Sturgis packed with unvaccinated are another thing.

you think lolla attendees didnā€™t go to the bar?

completely meaningless. how many positive people does it take in a crowd to spread covid?

Yes, itā€™s meaningless. You can be exposed and infected walking away from the testing center.

You seriously think a group of vaccinated people have the same probability of spreading Covid as a group of non-vaccinated people?

Fascinating your understanding of probability.

You seriously think they were all vaccinated?

How do you know Sturgis was all unvaccinated?

But you could also be infected and the test would catch it. So not meaningless, but not 100% either.

Yes, but they would either be vaxxed or passed a covid test. And yes, I know someone could test neagative then immediately get infected, but you are still reducing the risk by testing and weeding out those already infected.

It is meaningless as a mitigation to attend a concert tomorrow.

Not meaningless. Not perfect either.

No you arenā€™t. What is they were vaccinated and infected?

Sturgis is very much an indoor event.

Its not perfect, but it is way, way more effective than nothing.

Itā€™s useless. They arenā€™t quarantining after they get the negative test. In fact they are probably going out more because of it.

Itā€™s not more effective than canceling the concert.

LOL no itā€™s not.

Of course not.

Is that what you would prefer?

I would prefer an end to the hypocrisy.

Are all the bars and restaurants outdoor only? What about the hotels?
