1000 infected out of 20,000-person music festival in the Netherlands.

There is an outdoor Rock Fest that usually attend in my area [except last year when nothing was going on]. Not this year. I hear it was wall to wall people.

I miss it as I have been going for a few decades.



~1000 infected out of 20,000-person music festival in the Netherlands. Maybe this type of thing is bad idea during a pandemic while #DeltaVariant Upwards arrow? NL also had the sharpest #COVID19 spike in the world last week. Now I worry for soccer Soccer ball even more. Thread

A young blonde woman just right of the center of the picture (you facing the picture). She was in a group of several women, most appeared to be blonde.

Why would they have a large event like that with a large percentage of the population unvaccinated?

Vaccines were tested and approved for emergency use on the basis of preventing serious infections. People in the trials got tests at the time of injections and later only if they reported symptoms. There wasn't much information about asymptomatic and very mild cases.

I see social media posts that basically say "I got the jabs, lets party." SMH

It baffles common sense, and the people in NL aren't famous for being negligent fools.
