Focusing solely on the data here, there is no legitimate “danger” in attending an open air football game, even surrounded by thousands of fans. Studies have shown that games have not been super-spreader events like they were purpoted to be in September. Furthermore, scientists seem pretty confident Omicron is not highly virulent. Most pepole just aren’t getting incredibly sick when they contract Omicron.
Also, this columnist is a walking contradiction. In one sentence, he says “we need to keep the essential institutions of California, our communities, and economies open.” Then he goes on to argue the Rose Bowl is not essential, despite in his own words it bringing in “a lot of money to our hard-hit tourist industry, to other local businesses, to universities that play in the game and the media that broadcast it.”
Did he not even read his own column before having it published??
