It's also important to see a distinction between events where people travel great distances to attend (like True North) and events where people do not travel great distances, like St. Pattys' day. Ontario does not have an outbreak right now, and we're doing enough testing to be relatively confident that we aren't missing one. People can travel in Ontario with relative safety right now. If/when an outbreak does come (probably as a result of the undetected, uncontrolled spread in the USA), than these measure would be warranted.
However, events which see people attend from far distances, and from regions which are seeing an outbreak obviously make sense to cancel because that is how the disease can spread.
I believe the Waterloo Ezra parties are now famous enough that I've heard of buses coming from as far as neighbouring US states to attend. Obviously not the majority of attendees, but I think it's not really just a local event anymore.
I agree that certainly would be a bigger problem, but I have not heard that. Do you have a source?
