    ~1000 infected out of 20,000-person music festival in the Netherlands. Maybe this type of thing is bad idea during a pandemic while #DeltaVariant ⬆️? NL also had the sharpest #COVID19 spike in the world last week. Now I worry for soccer ⚽️ even more. 🧵 https://www.ad.nl/utrecht/bijna-1000-bezoekers-festival-verknipt-besmet-teller-loopt-op-meer-besmettingen-niet-uit-te-sluiten~a67ae08f/ …pic.twitter.com/dOOt5xpSqk

        3) Big public events are risky mainly because of the side gatherings of party goers. Been trying to warn about this for a while.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1414680957160988681 …

        Big sporting events are risky, not necessarily because of the outdoors stadium 🏟 game itself, but #COVID19 risky because of mass gatherings of fans outside of the stadium, especially indoors in the pubs & with fan after-parties. Remember #COVIDisAirborne. pic.twitter.com/mAPBHQD6uQ

        4) Netherlands 🇳🇱 has very little restrictions - it relies majorly on testing based entry to events. But no mask. This was NL last week…https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1413931514954489860 …

        ⚠️Bad trend—Netherlands reports a near vertical >800% increase in new #COVID19 cases in 1 week. Greece 🇬🇷 and Spain 🇪🇸 nearly matching that surge. @WHO now reports over 2 dozen countries with “near vertical” sharp rises in cases—mostly #DeltaVariant. Pandemic “Act 2” has begun.🧵 pic.twitter.com/QGM3Ta2fik

        5) Dr @mvankerkhove warns about the sharp global rise in cases. “2 dozen” countries with **near vertical rise** in #COVID19 cases. Let that sink in. #DeltaVariant is damn serious. Big events risky. We need masks on top of vaccinations.pic.twitter.com/GhvESjTdiv

        6) It appears the Dutch music festival was not entirely open-air either — these half open tents clearly allow the smoke & fog to concentrate over the audience too. #COVIDisAirbornehttps://twitter.com/EsterikaNL/status/1415275268135178240 …

        7) and yes, NL is well vaccinated too - around 40% fully vaccinated. I don’t look at single dose vaccination stats anymore - #DeltaVariant is highly evasive against just one dose - only 18% against Delta for one dose AZ from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 data, and 30% for 1 dose Pfizer. 2 doses please.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1413935263970205703 …

        3) How does Netherlands, Greece, Spain compare in vaccinated %? All 3 countries ~ 40% fully vaccinated. Not that low relative to the world or rest of Europe. UK is 50% vaccinated and it’s still seeing hospitalizations & deaths rise. Keep vaccinating—#DeltaVariant coming. pic.twitter.com/F1hDDFbztY

        9) Vaccines are good, but we need to do more than only rely on vaccines alone or testing alone. We have to mask as well. And if the population doesn’t mask, then we must urgently shield the elderly and those with chronic diseases in face of the rise of #DeltaVariant—protect them.https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1414358182982557697 …

        10) My other small worry… summer camps without masks indoors. The U.S. has seen a string of COVID-19 outbreaks tied to recent summer camps in places like Texas, Illinois, Florida, Missouri & Kansas. Some have spread from the camp to the broader community.https://apnews.com/article/health-coronavirus-pandemic-michael-brown-7dd22f4efe101603c2c4caf531c980dc …
