Surely not.

One hand - closing down other countries - quarantine
Other hand - come into badly ventilated rooms and catch co-vid - particularly if you come from Leicester which is in lockdown to watch Selby.

The other countries are not relevant to this really.
What evidence do you have that the Crucible is badly ventilated?
It is important to get people back to normal life. That includes theatres.

Is it the daily number of deaths that is frightening you?

If it is I suggest you stay in your bedroom indefinitely. For comparison, there are on average 450 cancer deaths every day in the UK.

That’s not a good comparison, really.
This just seems like it shouldn’t be a priority right now.

What makes you think it is a priority?

Getting things back to normal asap is an absolute priority IMO.

Why?
Because the current state of affairs is unhealthy. The damage caused by any extension of lockdown measures will greatly outweigh the benefit to society as a whole IMO.

But we already have pubs open, restaurants open etc. Normality’s already returning. Why does a crowd at a sporting event for two days make any difference?

You are right - it does not make a huge difference. It is a small step.
It won't provide any huge benefit but neither any huge risk. I think you would agree that the mitigations on the 1st day looked pretty decent (don't want to put words in your mouth...).

If you don’t want to put words in my mouth then don’t. I don’t think there should have been a crowd on day one and the mitigations were nothing more than Bazza doing the bare minimum to ensure he was the “first indoor sport to have crowds” and bucking over Hamilton in the process.
