COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

Right, but if you’re in a large group outside (like at a rally), you’re basically in a big cloud of germs. Kind of like the difference between getting a glass of water thrown at you and jumping in a swimming pool.
ABSOLUTELY! I should have added the caveat that we should still wear masks, and probably MORE importantly practice social distancing (and I personally prefer 20 feet). If people are milling around shoulder to shoulder, laughing, yelling, high fiving, sneezing, not wearing masks, then ALL bets are off.
