This is a weak argument for anyone with high school physics knowledge. I wish people would stop using it. Outdoor events with lots of air currents are different from an indoor event where there is limited air circulation. The number of people is not the crucial factor, it's the number of people in relation to the volume of recirculated air. There is essentially zero recirculated air at football stadium.

I completely agree, but we are not the ones who shut down outdoor events. They are. The ones who say they are “protecting” us.

I can’t think of any major indoor gatherings that caused super spreader events that led to mass deaths either. But we know that masks don’t do anything, nothing statistically appreciable, and plenty of indoor venues are very poorly ventilated and circulated.

Industries that participate in conventions, like the entertainment industry, comic book industry, toy industry, writers events, are all familiar with “convention cough“ because those events are notorious for spreading colds, the flu, and I haven’t heard of hundreds of people dying after a comic book convention or a Transformers convention or a Star Trek convention.

I mean we are supposedly in the middle of a pandemic and there aren’t hundreds of deaths after a Star Wars convention.

Which is a shame, because those people should really just die already.
