Lots of people will be going even when they know they aren't well. If they haven't tested for Covid they will convince themselves they just have a cold or allergies or whatever. And then the ones who get sick while there and take it to their families, friends, work associates, classmates, etc.

By those that show up unvaccinated.

I understand some colleges are requiring students coming to campus to get vaccinated.

700 active cases in SD before rally. 4,000 after rally.

Most of the events were outdoor.
