I double-masked on my flight, sitting in the Delta Comfort+ section where there’s more room between travelers. 🥰 /rZqASDn8Hv- Herb Scribner July 31, 2021 How many people were vaccinated? Was someone with the delta variant sitting next to me an outdoor restaurant? Did someone infected with COVID-19 walk in front of me at our hotel? How many people did I walk by that were infected? We walked close to Lollapalooza and definitely went to outdoor restaurants with people sitting nearby. So yeah, the delta variant could easily spread at Lollapalooza. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended that people who have been fully vaccinated wear masks indoors again in certain situations, based on data that shows fully vaccinated people could spread the virus as quickly as chickenpox, according to the Deseret News. But in large part, there needed to be some proof that you were safe from spreading the novel coronavirus in order to attend.īut still, there was a risk. There were some reports that people were faking their COVID-19 vaccine statuses in order to get into the concert. Of course, Lollapalooza required either a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination for entry.

For example, close to 100,000 people visited Grant Park in Chicago for the Lollapalooza concert, which included acts such as Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, the Foo Fighters and Megan Thee Stallion. Or, at least one that health officials are eyeing as the next hot spot because a number of people flocked to the city.
Now, Chicago has become the epicenter of a potential superspreader event.Ĭhicago has become something of a COVID-19 hot spot right now. We chose Chicago because it seemed like a fun option. Īll that culminated with this last weekend. News about face masks for the vaccinated, questions about Cape Cod, concerns about vaccine effectiveness. But slowly, the storm clouds entered the fray.
