By August a cumulative of 252,977cases /6M tests.
The state population is 4M.
62 cases / 12,000 attendees.
Washington has similar seasonality and case escalation.
Why does the article not address if this rate is above background?
You would think if they are going to label this an outbreak, that indicts their own industry, they could do this math for the reader.
It’s on public dashboards.
Case rate is about 400/100k.
Concert is just over 516/100K.
Half the audience was vaxed.
Since half the crowd is vaxxed,
Why are they writing panic porn on PCR cases when it’s well known the vaxxed can still be PCR positive?
The hospitalizations are not overwhelming the hospitals.
The deaths in July were some of the lowest all year.
You will forever be a captive industry if you don’t get familiar with the seasonality of these viruses and understand how to defend your industry from statistical facades like this.
It’s even worse that @RollingStone is so masochistic on its own industry.

1.5yr ago I posted a video reminding folks that even if this virus is man made, nothing is new under the sun and the parts all have ancestors. Our immune systems have some memory of the ancestors.
Most colleagues were so engrossed in fear that they argued against this , eventually blocked me, only to occasionally return and scream 650K deaths & blood on my hands for being lax.
While excess mortality and comorbidity data implies the lockdowns likely did more harm.
Meanwhile over $7T has been printed and given to friends of government.
Supply shortages rage on throughout the Diagnostics space.
Economy has been wrecked. Kids education sacrificed.
If you can print money for emergencies, people manufacture emergencies to print money.
Vaccine passports for concerts.
Does the science line up with this widespread panic? @phish@WidespreadPanic@deadandcompany
This is what musicians are discriminating on.
Note, the Ct values of the vax Vs unvax are the same.
Viability isn’t different
Symptom onset identical
Their is no scientific basis for demanding a vax passport.
There is increased risk of adverse vax events for people who are already immune, taking the vaccine to comply to this coercion.
