Indoors is a totally different animal. No way they allow 6,000 right now with COVID running rampant.

Maybe 500 - 2,000

3200 will be the capacity I hear at FedEx Forum.

lol
When football started, there were 1,700 active cases of COVID in Shelby Co with a local positivity rate of 7%. And the Ministry of Health allowed 6,500 fans into LBMS - a vast and OUTDOOR stadium. Fans had to space 12 feet.
Now, there are 3,500 active cases in Shelby Co with a positivity rate of 11%. And they are allowing 3,200 fans into an indoor arena that is one-third the size of LBMS. Fans have to space 6 feet.
And that group just "follows the science", so we're told.
Happy for fans.
But what a joke the SCHD is.

Can you please define your terms? I was wondering about this last night as I listened to some Covid broadcast. They said there have been ~"230,000 covid deaths" (which I highly doubt, but assuming they are correct) in the US, and ~ "11,000,000 positive cases". I did a little quick math and determined that the general public is unnecessarily paranoid. That means that, JUST POSITIVE CASES ALONE - we are not even talking deaths.... that is less than 3% of the population of the US, and the vast majority of those individuals (>97%) recover.

Using your "terms", I take them to mean that 1 million people x .11 = 110,000 cases in Shelby county? Is that what you are saying?

It's not "my terms" but terms that have been used throughout the pandemic and have been widely understood.
As the other poster said, positivity rate is the % of positive tests out of the total # of tests. I use the 14-day average as the best current indicator.
I agree that it's not very meaningful by itself. That's why I use it with other metrics, to give the full picture. When you look at total number of active cases and the current positivity rate, you get a feel for community spread.
The best metrics are actually taking these numbers and applying them to population size, to get per capita. But I've found many people have a hard time with these, lol.
Regardless of metric, the current state of the pandemic is at least 2x worse now than what it was when football season started. Yet, the SCHD has gone from 12-ft distancing outside, to 6-ft distancing inside. That is the point I'm making.
