A tale of two festivals

Lollapalooza sees little outbreak.

Sturgis rally followed by surge of cases

Cook Country, IL

Meade County, SD.

Granted Meade is much smaller population than Cook. But comparing South Dakota to Illinois, or even just Cook, isn't much better.

I have a hard time believing that being outdoors provides equivalent protection to masking if everyone is packed in close, especially if they're in a context where they'll be yelling and cheering.

But this virus keeps defying my intuitions at every turn, so really, at this stage I feel like I don't know anything.
