 Isn't the easy answer here that there should be metrics, but they should be developed by actual experts and not by the loudest asshole out there? I really don't give a shit what YOU think the metrics should be. I don't care what Ty thinks either. Suck it up, buttercup. 
I've been in the position of trying to organize concerts for organizations whose board I'm on. Our approach has been to consistently look to do better than the venue and the requirements, because it gives people comfort. If you do a concert, and you aren't careful, expect some people to walk in, feel unsafe, and walk out, and realize that may include people who are part of the performers and the stage crew. And any concert you schedule right now has risk of a last minute cancelation, which carries a lot of costs and overhead to it, because the performers may get sick. Saying "go ahead, do it" is very different than making it possible to do an event safely, which requires a certain amount of support, including devoting public resources to the process (because every event needs more security and police help thanks to, you know, THE ASSHOLES). 
Badly run big events can quickly become superspreaders.
