It's been almost three weeks.

All the replies and quote tweets calling these games superspreader events.

Surely the data should be pouring in by now if these people weren't wrong EVERY. SINGLE. TIME, right?

I await the follow-up: "Turns out, No."

Narrator: It was not.

If one were to actually look at data, if anything, a week or two after the supposed superspreader events mark the start of the PEAK AND DECLINE of COVID cases.

The first Game Day was in Charlotte, North Carolina for the Clemson-UGA game. 2 1/2 weeks later, cases plummetted.

Needless to say, there are huge, unmasked, tightly packed football games of around 100,000 people happening all over the country, and three weeks later, the result of all of these "superspreader events" has been cases TURNING AROUND from an UPWARD trajectory to a DOWNWARD one.

If the case trajectory were flipped to the complete inverse of what it is, where cases were dropping until football started, then sharply began to rise a couple days later, we would 100% be hearing about this being a direct correlation and a huge five-alarm emergency.

If cases rising two weeks after these games in cherry-picked cities where some of these games occurred would've been considered iron-clad proof that they're all superspreader events, that same #SCIENCE dictates that the drop in cases AROUND THE COUNTRY proves they PREVENT spread.

There was an anomaly of a bump between 9/7 & 9/15 here in Louisiana. If anything Louisianans must have gotten it from their time spent in mega-masked & vaxed Los Angeles.

Then when they got back home, LSU & the Saints both started playing & cases started dropping again.
