Lolla literally just happened. Any surge of cases due to it won't show up until this weekend, at the earliest. Not saying Lolla won't cause an uptick, but it wouldn't be seen this soon.
The surge happening in Chicago is happening literally everywhere, at varying times/impacts, and it's because of the Delta variant in general. Much like previous waves of this pandemic, very few places will not feel an impact.
Furthermore, closing theatres because of any uptick in cases would be completely counterproductive to what we all need to start doing: learning how to live with Covid. It ain't going away, folks.
