The US Olympic Marathon Trials are in Atlanta on Saturday.
It's only national athletes but 700 from every part of the country and their friends and family.
If anyone is a carrier, dozens might go home with a "present".
- Cacti 7y agoAtlanta gets about 140,000 tourists _per day_ and has one of the busiest airports in the world. A couple thousand for the Trials is a drop in the bucket of risk.
- seneca 7y agoTo underscore your point, it's actually the single busiest airport in the world.
- ck2 7y agoI think you missed my point. The time spent in an airport vs an entire weekend at hotel/model/airbnb It's essentially a massive convention from every corner of the United States. Airport is "pass through" for moments in comparison. But yeah trapped in an aluminum tube for a few hours is also a huge problem with a communicable disease that doesn't show symptoms initially.
