Reply to comment by bkydx 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

Ok, so for the third time, what is your source on "the cause was the beta variant"? If your next reply doesn't have a source I am assuming that you just made this up.

> So you have 2 papers with different results looking at the same thing. One shows 200% increase and one shows no increase

No, the papers are actually consistent. One paper allowed for attendance up to 20,000 or more and found an increase in COVID. Another paper only considered limited attendance (up to 13,000) and found no increase. They do not "look at the same thing."

Also, you say that both papers look at the "same thing" and you say beta variant was prevalent in one paper but not the other? You are contradicting yourself.

> Assuming both papers are truthful by looking and comparing their results and data you can reasonably assume outdoor stadiums are not a significant concern to the general population.

They found this for outdoor stadiums with limited attendance, sure.

>I would argue indoor get-togethers are higher risk then outdoor stadiums.

I agree, but this doesn't contradict the paper that OP posted.

51 NBA games happened this week with close to 20,000 fans in attendance indoors and there were are no 200% covid increase outbreaks happening.

Thanks for your input but there is far too much evidence proving you wrong.

One single snap shot during the 95% of the worst of the Beta variant is just showing the effects of the beta outbreak. All of the data agrees.

Ok, for the SEVENTH time: do you have any source at all about your claims on the Beta variant or not?

Did you account for increased vaccination and natural immunity rates?
