Question - would you be concerned and would this change your behavior? The way I see it, I had an equally likely (if not greater) chance of getting into a car accident on my way home, but that wouldn't stop me from driving (I took the subway, but you get the point).
What do my fellow concert goers think?
One person tests positive in a crowd of 300? Could be false, could be asymptomatic (not 'broadcasting' as much, etc.), probably didn't make contact / get in this person's bubble anyway?
Your chances of getting some cooties on you if you're washing your hands and not being literally being sneezed on or french kissed are reasonably low.
Your odds of actually getting infected are pretty low.
Your chances of having really bad outcome if you do catch it is really low whether you're vaccinated or not.
That said, I got COVID early on in the whole thing before all the he-said-she-said-controversy. I was correctly wearing masks, nitrile gloves, being very cautious, super limited exposure to people in general, etc.
I donate blood routinely with the Red Cross, which had been doing antibody tests when you give, and have multiple tests showing I'm good for strong antibodies (nature's own organic vax!) that have lasted since November 2020.
I fly routinely again, and places like Hawaii have required negative tests, so I pop by and get tested every now and then when I'm going there - always negative, haven't had a false pos yet, thankfully - so I won't worry.
So, yeah, I'd go to a concert.
