German Scientists put on a pop show at a concert hall packed with volunteers today in an effort to learn how the coronavirus spreads during crowded indoor events

German Scientists put on a pop show at a concert hall packed with volunteers Saturday in an effort to learn how the coronavirus spreads during crowded indoor events.... [+]

Covid transmission risk assessment study in a concert setting at an indoor arena during the coronavirus pandemic on August 22, 2020 in Leipzig, Germany., was staged in Leipzig, Germany for about 2,000 volunteers and featured German pop star Tim Bendzko. Each volunteer was tested for the coronavirus 48 hours before the concert, and was given a face mask, fluorescent hand sanitizer and an electronic “contact tracer” that would gather data about contact rates and distances between fellow music lovers during the show.

Scientists from the University of Halles will study the number of “critical contacts” via the contact tracers, and identify frequently touched surfaces with traces left behind by the fluorescent hand gel. The experiment was in preparation for the upcoming winter months when authorities expect a spike in indoor events."There is no zero risk if you want to have life. We want to give the politicians a tool in order to decide rationally whether to allow such an event or not.

Cooties divided by the square root of Pi .... carry the 2 🤔🤔🤔

Idiots scientists they do not need to do that, just call Trump (or the idiots in his cult) he knows everything about everything... well, he lies about everything.. well... he alucinantes about everything.!!

This is really interesting. They mentioned that needs would be different for events with drinking, but it would have been interesting data if they’d done a fourth show with that as a condition.

Don’t let trump see this. The heading he will read is “Germany Hold Concert Indoors Showing It’s Safe To Hold In Person Teaching”

Isn't it unethical?

Where’s the but where it only effects 99.96% of people who are 85+ and that means in needy to wear a mask to buy some milk..?

What next? See how long you last before you kick the bucket? 🤯☠️😱

This exleriment is only valid if it involves this variable. COVID19

I thought the outcome was settled science. No need for further live experimentation.

bekloppt sind die

Cant wait for the results 🔍

🤦🏾‍♂️
