I& #39;ve seen a lot of people talking about the lower risks of outdoor transmission. This rally took place entirely outdoors. https://twitter.com/travisakers/status/1259103329902309376">https://twitter.com/travisake...
(Don& #39;t let the useful epidemiology get lost in the understandable schadenfreude.)
And just to clarify, obviously outside is lower-risk than inside but I& #39;ve seen comments around from people who are clearly convinced that it just flat-out doesn& #39;t transmit outdoors, or "almost never," and they& #39;re overestimating the safety margin provided by fresh air.
If you jam a bunch of yelling people close together, fresh air won& #39;t necessarily save you, although you& #39;re going to be better off doing that outside than inside.
