Sounds like there were far too many people there in the first place. Wonder if in a couple of weeks there will be a new spike in Covid 19 that can be connected to this event?

is that a thing now? or was this rush event prompted by something unusual?

I'm coming into the story apparently late, which may be the cause of my confusion. I saw a video of concert goers rushing through the gates and security lines, but I couldn't understand what happened to trigger the rush like that? weird.
