But there are concerns that the four-day music festival in Chicago’s Grant Park will turn out to be a Covid-19 coronavirus superspreader event. That’s because Lollapalooza is expected to bring together 110,000 people a day from many different places in the middle of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. If you are a Covid-19 coronavirus and happen to miss Lollapalooza, don’t fret or make crying, boo-hoo motions with your spikes. The Sturgis Rally website says, “We’re spreading out wings.” With over 500,000 people expected, that may not be the only thing that’s spreading. As I covered for Forbes last September, one study estimated that the 2020 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally caused over 260,000 new Covid-19 coronavirus cases.
