The people at the Tumbleweed probably aren’t even all OSU students.

I don’t blame the mayor here totally. What a sh-t job he has right now. There are probably folks who want him strung up for even suggesting a mask ordinance in the first place. In many ways, he is just a patsy for the university, trying to keep that college money flowing through Stillwater.

But it isn’t going to matter in three weeks or so when the university shuts down to in person instruction and most of the kids scatter to the wind. Hope the parties were EPIC.
Yeah I don't disagree with you that what the Tumbleweed allowed to go on their was dumb (though apparently legal since it wasn't in city limits). I can't say what I would've done in college...we were all playing beer pong tournaments while swine flu was ripping through campus so I'm not optimistic about our common sense at the time... but as 33 year old, definitely wouldn't want to be in that big of crowd crammed together right now. I did attend a 150 person indoor wedding in Fort Worth a few months ago and to the bride and groom's knowledge, no one ended up with Covid from attending it. People wore masks at the beginning but as the drinks started flowing...mask usage by anyone not working the event dropped to zero. My dad and a bunch of his friends went to Sturgis last week so it will be interesting to see if any of them come down with it over the next few weeks.
