To be honest I'm not worried about a spike in Covid as a result of this in Calgary. There's evidence that this is more of an indoor spread phenomenon than outdoors and the numbers at this points are small and mostly contained in Calgary and Alberta. I just don't want the same people participating or supporting these protests tut, tutting people who are upset about the livelihoods that are being destroyed by the lock-downs.
A person has to be a complete narcissist to claim in the lens of Covid that their participation in this is all well and good and small business owners who want to open up are morons of the pandemic. In my mind either it's reasonable from a Covid risk standpoint to gather like this or its not, regardless of perceived cause.
