I'm sorry if I sound like one of "those" people who is stopping people from having fun, but there is no way you are going to convince me that the hundreds of thousands of fans gathered for NFL and college football games are all vaxxed and not risking further mutation. I get that it's outside, but again, these people are shoulder to shoulder, maskless, yelling for 2+ hours, going to and from the bathroom, etc. I just really don't understand how the script has flipped so abruptly from "an outside gathering of tens of thousands of people is definitely a super spreader event" to "nahh it's OK because people are outside."
So it seems like we're back to business as usual, and I won't be surprised if we see another mutation. Or who knows, maybe this thing will just fizzle out.
This is fucking bonkers to me.
But I don't know, maybe it doesn't spread outside at all? But that wouldn't make sense because I know people who've gotten it while outside in big groups
Again, like I said, completely mixed messages
It is less likely to spread outside, with proper separation and masks. And encouraging outdoor excercise has public health knock on effects. This is utterly horrifying though.
You can still get it though and people here in Aus are not taking things seriously.
Europe has also been easing restrictions by a lot, not because healthcare experts said they can, but because the business owners demanded it.
