You arguably can't even get 75% with the social distancing rules
50% is a packed house with nobody allowed to stand

Can someone tell me on what science basis is there a difference in safety between 75% and 100% capacity?


As a doctor, I'm curious. Seems more like political theater than science to me.



But anyone that questions this inane science will be accused of not believing in science and cancelled.
