    Some good news, and further evidence of the low risk of outdoor transmission. https://www.wsj.com/articles/recent-protests-may-not-be-covid-19-transmission-hotspots-11592498020 …pic.twitter.com/kvR67m1JQt

        And as I said a couple weeks ago, if these mass outdoor gatherings--with close-packed crowds and singing and shouting--don't produce spikes, then it's going to be cause for second-guessing all sorts of summer-long outdoor cancellations.https://twitter.com/AlecMacGillis/status/1268241023865675778?s=19 …

        It's pretty striking to consider, in wake of all these amazing huge protest gatherings across the country, that: *most summer camps are cancelled *many pools and basketball & tennis courts are still shut "most outdoor concerts & theater performances are cancelled for whole summer

        How about 20,000 people indoors?

        Now trump will try the indoor version of the test. America as science experiment.

        Yeah... the rally indoors is a terrible idea. Absolute abomination.

        Well, so far anyway. I certainly hope the trend continues but there’s no guarantee.

        And I saw a lot of protestors in LA handing out sanitizers and more then once "if you feel sick go home."

        Could always change with a massive indoor political rally.

        Masks. In New York at least, I’d put mask usage at 90%.

        Been to several of these in STL. The first ones were about 90%. Last evening, a neighborhood one with 200-300 people was closer to 99%.
