Please tell that to their parents.
For some perspective: That is twice the size of my high school class. So, you would basically wipe out all graduates for two years in my hometown of approximately 8000 people. That would effect a lot of lives.
Those 224 kids were someone to somebody and probably a lot of somebodys.
Please quit downplaying this for the sake of argument, it somehow makes you looks worse than usual.

The OP was stating jumping off the roof for the kid was more dangerous than COVID. He's not wrong.
I jump off my roof all the time. Granted I live in a berm house and I can step up and be on my roof.
Well yes lol. I'm sure if you threw in the factor of what you're landing on that it'd make a big difference too. In that specific situation though, that was dangerous. Land on your head, land on a foreign object and become impaled, break your ribs, rupture your spleen, etc.
Emotions don't have any influence on statistics. I'm sure the parents of kids who have died regardless of the cause feel pretty much the same. I'm sorry people can't handle a simple fact, I didn't even think that would be controversial. Because getting really drunk and jumping off a roof is a really bad idea.
Curious as to why everytime one of these big events happens, Riots, Protests, Bars, Keggers, and all that, there is supposed to be a huge outbreak after and it never happens. I have been going to the Ozarks every summer and they have had 4 million visitors more this year than any other year and yet there is never ever a big spike after the weekend and all the bars are packed.

I kept track of a local county that had their full fair with grandstands, exhibits, a carnival, meals; very little changed. They had no bump in numbers and actually their numbers were lower for the two weeks after the fair finished than before it started. My daughter went to one of the events and and she said very few masks and people were packed in there. They had reduced their ticket sales from the prior year, but all that did was thin out the less desirable seats and instead of people stuffed into their seats they were just side by side. Another local county had theirs a week after, but I haven't paid as much attention since that is farther away.

Explain why none of them have been tracked back to the Ozarks which has had 9 million visitors this summer and I have seen like 8 people wearing masks?
Source that they never happen?
Iowa State football games aren't likely to have a dramatic effect on Story County's numbers because most of the attendees don't live in Story County. The first transmission is in Story County and that person lives in Polk County and tests positive but not until after they've come across people from Cedar, Benton, Black Hawk, Johnson, and Palo Alto counties. 3 of those people are asymptomatic and deal with a bunch of people from their own counties as well as other counties. One exposure in Story County is now hundreds of exposures elsewhere.
After the ABATE rally in Algona cases went up in Kossuth County. The vast majority of those exposures aren't going to reflect in the Kossuth County numbers but in Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, Wisconsin, etc.
Unfortunately most people suck at personal responsibility so the beat goes on. The United States is a gigantic outbreak compared to what our peers around the world have been able to do.
Speaking of Kossuth County, they had their fair the first or second week of August 3-8. So they should have started showing results around the 14th or so of this month. I haven't checked but should if I get a minute. I think they had a fairly "normal" fair from what I heard.
Your question was specifically about the Ozarks? It seemed like it was asking about social gatherings in general.

A person who spent hours at a bar during the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota last week has tested positive for Covid-19, state health officials said Tuesday.
So was this already posted (SIAP-I didn't go back and look through thread)? The comments about jumping from roof made me question it.
What a brilliant, hard hitting piece of analysis that is! It’s great that we have Captain Obvious here to let us in on these great insights.
