What's the likelihood of an outbreak in Tulsa after the Trump rally? We don't know. Probably high.

What we know is that the likelihood of at least one person with #COVID entering that arena is 100%. [1/5]
Over the last 20d, ~6k ppl have tested positive in Oklahoma (~4M pop). That means at least ~0.15% of all ppl in Oklahoma are infected right now.

The likelihood that one of them is #COVID19 free? 99.85%. With 19,000 ppl, the likelihood that ALL are free is 99.85%^19,000=0% [2/5]
On average, ~30ppl will be infected in the BOK arena (0.15% of 19,000).

They will be close to each other, for hours, screaming, singing, laughing, likely without masks. [3/5]
It reminds me of the South Korea super-spreader event in a church that looks like this. [4/5]

It ended up infecting ~6k people. That was with just one seeder. [5/5]
