Could Taylor Swift’s mega-tour have fans seeing red on their next COVID test?
There has been some cautious optimism among public health officials that this summer might be the first during which California doesn’t experience a major coronavirus wave — and there’s no evidence at this point that one is on the way.
But California is not in the clear or out of the woods just yet. Transmission does appear to be on the upswing, and there’s no denying the virus’ enduring power to spread, particularly in crowded settings. And crowded hardly begins to describe Swift’s concerts, let alone the fan mania that has surrounded them.
“Given the relatively low rate of COVID-19 community transmission, and the ability of everyone to take sensible precautions, we are hopeful the concerts will not significantly impact community transmission rates,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Times.
There have been a handful of reports of coronavirus infections after Swift’s concerts at the outdoor Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and elsewhere in recent weeks. But it’s unclear whether those played any more significant a role in terms of spread than other social gatherings or large events, such as the recent San Diego Comic-Con.
The L.A. County Department of Public Health said it has not heard of other areas that have reported a notable increase in coronavirus transmission linked to Swift’s previous stops. Her tour began in March and continued amid a national downturn in COVID hospitalizations — which hit a record low in late June before ticking back upward.

What’s a “covid”?
To stop the next pandemic, the medical tyrants will have to develop and release the new Covid “unshot”. Since the current Covid shots and boosters don’t prevent or stop transmission of Covid, but do make them more vulnerable to Covid, only “unshots” will be able to stop this horrible possibility.
All this time I thought Taylor Swift was a girl.
Oh well. Still don’t know who the heck he is.
Or don’t do anything and let group immunity take its course.
That's a guaranteed BS alert.
The so-called COVID Virus can only be transmitted thru your Television or Newspapers. So turn OFF your TV and NEVER pick up a newspaper, you might want to take zinc/quercetin regularly and have ivermectin on hand just in case you run into somebody that still Watches TV or reads Propaganda Papers like the El Segundo Times.
Exactly.
COVID. Never going back.
Taylor Swift =Typhoid Mary
How long can you do pop...at almost 34 years old......
Yes, doc.
Can 21st century “journalism” get any more ridiculously stupid?
Don’t answer that!
The covid warning stories are starting up now.
Wanna bet it will be a slow increase in covid warnings up to next summer when there will be another pandemic? Must have mail in voting to save us all.
Marked safe from catching anything at a Taylor Swift concert.
Taylor Swift is becoming a target of Libs.
Libs are pressuring her to cancel her CA concerts in support of striking hotel workers in CA. She has (so far) refused to cancel. Now the Times has come out with a story warning she might be responsible for spreading Covid because of the large crowds at her concerts. Look for more negative stories if she doesn’t cancel her concerts in CA.
What about the mob riot in NYC today? Does that count?
See Madonna. Some say she’s still relevant
She used to be okay.
When did she get so awful?
