Reply to comment by HToTD in A study of NFL games during the 2020 season suggests a link between attendance and COVID spikes in surrounding counties 14 and 21 days later. The inferred connection held strongest for games attended by 20,000-plus fans by Wagamaga

A bigger and actually the biggest indicator is covid mutations.

Even the strictest and most vaccinated and mask wearing populations still had covid outbreaks during the new mutations.

​

I can't believe a paper is trying to attribute the virus mutations that caused world wide spikes and waves of cases to a 5000 people safely sitting outdoors.

You know 50,000,000 students and millions of office workers makes any NFL game statistically insignificant.
