https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/This interesting. It tells you what the chances are someone at a gathering has covid. For instance, if I attend an event with 25 people in my county, there is a 26% chance someone there has covid.

(3,665 posts)My tiny little county is at 58% risk. Since CovidKim decided to open up there have been large gatherings of maskless idiots. We went from 34 cases to 119 in a little more than 2 weeks.

(32,634 posts)I like the interactive map, I was just playing around with it to see what it can do.
But they don't explain the weird thing in eastern Oregon and western Idaho. It's got a very low population density but both of those counties have suddenly jumped to 99% chance of getting infected? Really?
Meanwhile other places like Manhattan, NYC where there are probably more Covid cases than any other 26-mile area in the US, has a very low chance of infection, simply because the population density is so high. Really?
I take it all with a grain of salt, and I'm still wearing my mask every time I leave the house.
