[quote=Anonymous]At 1 crowded college bar in Michigan in June it is thought that 1 person had covid.  The bar had spaced tables and many persons though far from all were wearing masks.  102 persons at the bar that night caught covid.  One person who caught it that night then further spread it to another 60 or so while attending an outdoor gathering the next night.

The thing is -- this disease spreads very, very easily.  This is not HIV.  This is like the the common cold in terms of how easy it spreads.  Now -- not as many overall are dying from it though still large numbers -- 980 yesterday alone. 
 And, not as many younger people are dying from it.  We are better at treating advanced serious cases now than we were in March and April.  Still -- every case is potentially serious.  I know 18 year olds with permanent lung lesions that will prevent them from participating in sports ever again.  Lung lesions are pretty common for serious cases.  They will always have to carry inhalers and avoid polluted areas/smog for the rest of their lives.
