Outdoor transmission is incredibly rare. What’s your causal evidence linking certain people or certain actions to what’s happening now, and how do you separate that from the advent of new variants, for example? Or as you put it: blaming the government or those events is as trite, as generic, and as content free as one can get.

No, not really. Transmission rates while outdoors are only low if you comply with requirements such as ensuring you always stay at least 2 meters away from everyone and don't interact with people. Hence the importance of mask, sanitize surfaces, and preserve social distancing.
