Why do 20,000 strangers get to stand shoulder to shoulder in a protest and not a hockey game?
Because one is infinitely more important than the other.
Though I admit I'm keen to understand how those protests, including in Calgary, impact the outbreak curves.
But even if they don't - that may only demonstrate that being outside is less risky than being inside.
So still doesn't really mean much for fans at games.
EDIT: I see you originally were proposing things like outdoor viewing, and yes if these demonstrations don't lead to outbreaks - perhaps that does become more of a possibility.
