I thought the concern was over indoor events but this study seems to say that any large gathering of people is problematic. So does that mean those who attend a concert or sporting event, like a baseball game in a large stadium with people yelling and cheering in close proximity to one another, intermingling on the concourse, etc. should wear masks even though they are vaccinated and outdoors?
That is not what I'm seeing on my television when watching the MLB and other sports. I wonder if that is going to come to a screeching halt now that fans are allowed back in the stadiums and arenas.
