Yeah, no matter one's persuasion, everyone is tired of being couped up. But any time I see a crowd (or mob, march or motorcycle rally), I'm thinking that's not so safe. At least they're outside - but too many - too much - expect the spike to grow.

Helps that its a gorgeous day here. 70+ degrees. Tomorrow too.

I'm with them in spirit.

I eagerly await the analysis of how many extra cases of COVID-19 occurred because of these celebrations.

But, I won't hold my breath.

What do you think the over/under (God I hate that term) odds are that that analysis will happen? I'd guess less than 25%.

Forget the over/under

Forget the analysis

Just like magic

They probably all got it from licking their ballot envelopes.

Well, one way to get rid of cheatin' Dems...

A few weeks ago, we were told that the risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2 in an outdoor event was pretty low. That was in the context of the BLM riots protests.

Then, last week we were told that hundreds of cases of COVID-19 occurred during the Trump rallies.

I'm so confused.

Silly physician.

Over long enough time, the probability approaches 100%.

I guess something like 50% in five years, 80% in ten years, 99.99% in twenty years.
