I’m not saying it was a wise thing to rush out to celebrate. But how many events like this have we had? Outdoors but widely condemned, confidently called called superspreader. But wasn’t, barely reported. (UNC tests all students on campus twice a week and off campus once a week).https://twitter.com/JoedyMcCreary/status/1362881044551237639 …

My worry with these is always what we *don't* see - accompanying packed bars and house parties. It *is* a bit surprising not to see a spike from that. But if those are happening every weekend, and the only difference here was the outside stuff, not so much.

It is always the concern, and the best way to address it seems to me to be to not to punish them for the safest part of the event, and inform and empower them about what not to do? Otherwise yeah that’s what we will get: indoor parties out of our sight.

Oh I completely agree. I'm just pontificating on why we did or didn't see a spike here. My prior would have been to see a modest one (again, NOT from the outdoor stuff), so now I'm trying to reassess why not.

UNC is testing properly this time (unlike last time!) and this is where some qualitative work would be really helpful: asking the students what they did and did not do/or know. A spike would have been possible, but a superspreading event would surely have an indoor component.
