Dare we hope ?

Out of the 385,000 people who attended Lollapalooza July 29-Aug. 1, 203 cases were reported from the festival...

Around 88% of the festival’s attendees were vaccinated...

The Chicago festival had stringent protocols, as it required attendees to show proof of vaccination or of a negative COVID-19 test. Other major festivals, including Bonnaroo in Manchester, Tennessee, and Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have since followed Lolla’s lead in implementing similar rules.

Of the vaccinated attendees at Lollapalooza, only 0.0004% have tested positive for the virus, Arwardy said. She added that 0.0016% of unvaccinated people who attended have tested positive.

There have been no hospitalizations or deaths linked to Lollapalooza, the health expert said. People under 30 years old represented 79% of the positive cases, she added.
