All this is true. The virus is spread almost exclusively indoors. Specifically, as you said, in crowded bars, family gatherings, etc.
People who say “well so much for the heat killing the virus” aren’t seeing the forest through the trees. The hot weather may not obliterated the virus, but it does not spread very well outside according to every contact trace data available.
Our issue right now is people are still having big indoor gatherings. Adults (NOT children) are bringing it to parties/events and spreading it amongst themselves.
This is why sending kids back to school is a no brainer yes. And college kids playing football in limited capacity outdoor venues would not be a major negative contributor to the spread- if common sense can ever prevail. I’d still think fans should wear masks entering the stadium and whenever they go to the concourse though.
I agree mostly... Still interested to see if when the kids go back to school if they become "silent carriers" and bring it home and get mom and dad sick. Texas is starting to release more daycare specific testing info and there have been 1800 cases in daycares as of July 8th. That's up 759% since June 15th. 1200 staff and 600 children have tested positive. So kids are obviously much more resistant so far, but daycare enrollment is still way down.
I am of the belief that any family that can reasonably keep there kids at home and learn online should. This gives the ones that need to be in classrooms for all of the reasons we all know, a much better chance of successfully finishing the semester. If 10 kids are in a class compared to 20, it's going to significantly lower the chance of an outbreak that shuts it down in my opinion.
But to your broader statement, from everything I have read, I would be glad to take the whole family to a ballgame this summer. But we are getting food to go and playing outside with friends. Everyone I know that has gotten sick shared indoor air with someone who was sick. I have not heard of anyone getting Covid at youth sports, beaches, parks, or anything like it. We knew of a pool party that had a bunch of people get sick, but they all went inside for cake and presents.
I wish common sense and reason would take over. We could make 2020 the year of outdoor entertainment and education. Full tilt anything outside...
