Health officials are investigating Covid-19 outbreaks tied to two recent outdoor music festivals in Michigan and Oregon, raising new concerns about the safety of events with tightly packed crowds, even outside, as live music surges back and the more transmissible Delta variant spreads. Officials in Michigan say at least 96 cases can be traced to the Faster Horses Festival, which took place in Brooklyn, Michigan, from July 16th to 18th, while authorities in Oregon are looking at 62 cases tied to July 10th’s Pendleton Whisky Music Fest in Pendleton, Oregon. In Michigan, one person considered a “secondary case” — infected by someone who contracted Covid at Faster Horses — is hospitalized. Neither event required attendees to be vaccinated.
“These events are the warning shot across the bow,” says Dr. Emily Landon, executive medical director for infection prevention and control at the University of Chicago Medical Center. She also points to the numerous cases reportedly tied to July’s Verknipt Festival in the Netherlands, which was also held outdoors. “I think we’re finding it does matter what you do outdoors,” Landon adds. “And even though people are vaccinated, it looks like we may need to be more careful with super-crowded events.”

How can they even associate that few infections to a single event?
They can’t they are lying.
Next step-mask outdoors.
It totally avoids illegals, BLM rallies, protests, looting, rap concerts, Democrat political functions, etc. - Amazing
Apparently they are overlooking the sex and drugs as a vector.
But we must all mask up.
Anywhere the deplorables may peacefully assemble and let their voices be heard.
“meager numbers” — BINGO. My take as well. 62 and 96 cases out of tens of thousands attending? Seriously?
They DID flag the homo-fest in Provincetown, Mass, though. Except they pitched it as a “family event.”
Dig individual foxholes in the backyard.
If you can see beyond the yard fence, dog deeper.
The foxhole will double as a grave.
Obama says do as I say, not as I do.
Obama birthday parties are perfectly safe...
Bingo.
“Cases” is meangless without quantification of the severity of symptoms. How sick are they?
How about illegals streaming across the bprder
We could replace the word “covid” with “runny nose” and it would mean about the same. So effing sick of this hype!
Oregon especially reminds me of antifa wanting to go to rallies and spread the virus. I haven’t heard of any BLM or antifa-sponsored vaccination drives lately and a search of five pages didn’t show any announcements either
Cases.
Not hospitalizations. Not deaths.
Cases.
Stop with the fear-mongering, MSM.
Illegals are streaming across the border and infesting every corner of our country. Obama is having a huge party at his Martha’s Vineyard swankienda. Don’t insult our intelligence by trying to make us think outdoor music festivals are dangerous.
“Cases” ginned up by cycling PCR tests until something—anything—is found to establish a “positive”.
Cases my ass.
Obama and friends party on. And the media drones on.
