[Genuine Realist]

In an effort to remain evidence-based, is there any evidence of significant transmission of Covid-19 infections in a large outdoor gathering of any kind anywhere?

A soccer match in Italy has been discussed a lot: https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/co...-outbreak/  But I couldn't find any good evidence that the fans had many cases.  And that article raises the possibility that get-togethers after the match were the problem.  A bunch of the soccer players ended up infected--that's not too surprising given how close soccer players get to one another during matches.  Or maybe they just partied a lot after the match, too?

I would think that the primary effect might have been in undercutting the importance of continued social distancing (which was definitely secondary in the media coverage). 

The other factoids in the article shouldn't be ignored. Whatever is happening is happening to the younger population, which is good in so far as it goes in that the cases tend to be less serious.
