What a slippery slope of BS. Get off your high horse

No I haven't done any of that since the pandemic started(other than visiting my dad when cases are low). I've got my own reasons, and I understand people doing it when our cases are low, between waves. No issue with that. But right now, every incremental activity with the possibility of spreading covid is a bad idea. 20 000 people in one place for 3 hours, many without masks, yelling and cheering isn't what I consider a good idea.
This isn't some crazy idea I came up with. Doctors are saying it's a bad idea, too.

He said he wants Alberta’s NHL teams to step up and cut capacity.
“For example, during the playoffs… smaller capacity crowds were admitted,” Gibney said. “So something around 25 to 30 per cent — that is potentially an option.
“Not an ideal one, but certainly a lot better than 100 per cent capacity at a hockey game where people are going to enjoy themselves and are going to cheer their teams on and they’re going to spread a lot of droplets all over each other.“
Gibney reiterated that Alberta is at a critical juncture with the COVID-19 crisis, adding if numbers continue the way they are, hospitals will soon have to implement a triage protocol.

Dr. Shazma Mithani, an emergency room doctor at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, echoed Gibney’s sentiment, calling a full arena a “terrible idea.”
