Covid - news and views

Steve

I think its an experiment to see what happens. The group involved are young so hopefully wouldn't succumb to serious illness if they got COVID. I see what they are doing as a control measure. They confirm (by testing) that no one has it before they arrive and then test after the event. If, as they probably hope, no one tests positive for COVID they can evaluate the likely risk at such events with people in very close contact. If the risk proves to be minimal or even non existent it would pave the way for other events where people are in such close contact. That is the way I look at it?

If they are all negative before the event wouldn’t it mean, if they later tested positive, it was more likely they picked it up afterwards on the bus / train or at the pub.

I think it a question of degree. No idea how many attend such events but lets say 500. If they are all negative before the event and two test positive after the event it would seem to me that the event was not the cause. However if 50 tested positive it might indicate that something at the event caused the spread? We also don't know the instructions as conditions of attending. If after the event everyone reverted back to normal precautions the risk would be no more than it currently is. As I say I think they are trying to test how big events might work and the degree of risks. Going to a Nightclub is not on my list of priorities
