Let’s check in on college football opening weekend "super spreader events" Sept 2- 4 – now that we are 10 days out. These games were widely characterized as Sturgis without the motorcycles. Let's check in on -@virginia_tech @TAMU @UWMadison @UTKnoxville (1/x)
Well, @virginia_tech seems to have dodged the super spreader bullet – ten days removed, the positive test rate is the lowest it’s been in the past two weeks with same amount of tests. 
Well the Badgers seem to be ok....
The Aggies had 98,000 in attendance on September 4th - and things are stable
Finally, Tennessee hosted 85,000 fans on September 2nd - downward trends in general
Given avg. time from infection - delta symptoms from exposure is 6 days, w/spread potentially occurring on day 4/5, well within expected window of transmission. Disclaimer: This isn’t science, it’s observation – no correlation, no causation, just observation – I don’t claim it is
The point is hysteria around these games was unfounded. One last question, if cases and hospitalizations were through the roof on these campuses in the wake of these games – think we would have heard about it? It was a rhetorical question - the media would have been in an uproar
