Chicago -- Chicago health officials on Thursday reported 203 cases of COVID-19 connected to Lollapalooza, casting it as a number that was anticipated and not yet linked to any hospitalizations or deaths. “Nothing unexpected here,” Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady said at a news conference. “No sign of a ‘superspreader event’. But clearly with hundreds of thousands of people attending Lollapalooza we would expect to see some cases.” The four-day music festival, which started two weeks ago, drew about 385,000 people to a lakefront park.

Comments:

Of course there's no surge, event was held in a Blue city/state. Now if it were a bike rally in a Red state ...

If my math is correct, that is less than a tenth of 1% of people who attended.

Cases. Cases. Cases. Always screething about the cases. Given the accuracy standards of their 'test', I wonder how many are actually sick? And how many of them are seriously ill? Any deaths? Deaths as a reporting 'thing', got dropped some time ago for "cases". I'm pretty sure that is because deaths are at a very low level as this virus mutates to become less deadly. Low numbers don't scare people enough....so they switched to "cases".

FTA...."No sign of a 'superspreader' event, and clearly, with hundreds of thousands of attendees, we would expect to see some cases." Now, if you have a gathering of more conservative oriented people, we'll trot out that paragon of truth, the esteemed legend (in his own mind) of science & medicine, dr. Fauci to tell us why it's a superspreader and that millions will die horrible scamdemic deaths. The only thing that could possibly save the Stugis bike crowd would be if they were 'sophisticated' like the attendees at the grifters 60th.

Since it was a mostly very young crowd, and since it was outdoors, and since it's unlikely that anyone tested is really sick, and since the accuracy of the test is at best 50%, I'd say most people getting tested were either drunk, high, or got some other illness and just assumed it was Covid because they didn't feel well. The super spreader event mindset has been planted by the media so often, that people become obsessed with the notion they have something even when they're just fine.

The real question is why thousands of people risked their lives going to Chicago in the first place. A mild case of COVID would be the least of my worries if I were to violate my life-long goal of never stepping foot in Chicago as long as I live. Airports included.

New Zealand is closing its borders for the remainder of the year, continuing the country’s embrace of a total isolationist strategy in its fight against the coronavirus. On Thursday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the country’s borders “will never be the same after” the pandemic, likening the situation to the 9/11 attacks. “Just like after 9/11, the border will never be the same after Covid … things can change, but that doesn’t mean we can’t adapt to them in a way that eventually feels normal again,” said Ardern.(Snip)Since the start of the pandemic, New Zealand adopted a strict border protection policy, which resulted in only 26 coronavirus-related deaths.

"[T]he CDC caved to the political pressure by extending the moratorium, without providing any legal basis," the emergency motion says. "In substance and effect, the CDC’s latest action is an extension of the same unlawful ban on evictions that has been in effect since September 2020."

For instance, Biden told churchgoers April 1, they were being ungodly if they did not become vaccinated.
