I have not seen the weekly numbers yet but the Southern is back to publishing daily numbers again and Jackson County has just over 50 new cases, while Williamson County has about 45. Not huge numbers, relatively speaking, especially given the overall size of each community, but certainly larger than we have been seeing. I have not seen any increase in numbers attributed to the Sunset concerts and i rather doubt if we do. From what I read over the past year, outside events, even without distancing, have produced surprisingly small numbers of infection. of course, the new Delta variant may put paid to that and we may see larger numbers contracting it, especially since most Sunset Concert attendees skew young and they are less likely to be vaccinated that are older residents.
No, the increases will take their time like July 4th and Memorial Day. Delta will make this certain. If they continue to hold these concerts then the organizers should be held legally responsible for creating a superspreader event.
