Gotta say, making a distinction between 10,000 person indoor occupancy and 15,000 person indoor occupancy in Ontario based on whether patrons are sitting or standing implies no understanding whatsoever of what aerosol is or how it works. If you don't laugh you cry.

Unshakable belief that human categories matter to a respiratory virus. (Other than as opportunities.)

The idea is that as long as you're sitting down, you don't need masks, distancing, etc .... Why? No idea Maybe because the virus can't 'see' you down there? Or it's agreed only to infect people who are standing up? Not just Canada... Lots of places follow this ridiculous line.

Seriously, though, I suspect this grew out of some rule of convenience that applied in some other context: assigned seating makes contact tracing easier. ike the 2 m/15 minute rule, it's been yanked way out of context and is now just dangerous nonsense.

UK made lots of pandemic rules that made no sense. Masks when you stand up was a thing here at one point. Everybody used to joke about them. My favourite silly rule was the requirement to eat a sausage roll with a drink (because the virus clearly hates pork products.)
