DW: Around 100,000 people attended Reading Festival in the UK last weekend. This is what they left behind.
Yes, the tents were apparently also abandoned as they can be bought cheap and nobody cares. All that goes to landfill or gets burned.
@kravietz I wonder how many of them died by covid.

UK is largely vaccinated and the festival required negative test (which some people undoubtedly faked) or vaccination certificate.

The article mentions a 40k festival where 1000 people tested positive for COVID-19, and case fatality rate in UK is now 0.5% as everyone older is vaccinated. Reading was 100k, so ~2k possible cases, which gives ~10 potential deaths from COVID-19.
