[QUOTE="gtchem05, post: 703816, member: 4592"] The CDC estimates that there have been 41,000 deaths related to influenza this year in the US. There have been 273 deaths and counting from COVID-19 so far in the US. I mention this in no way to downplay the importance of COVID and all the things we are trying to do to slow it down. The isolation, etc. is important and appropriate in my opinion. These numbers actually highlight that the number of "flu-related" deaths is likely a huge overestimation or misrepresentation and that COVID is just ramping up. However, the isolation is very unlikely to be needed by the time September rolls around even though a vaccine will probably not yet be widely available by that time. On average, a little less than half of US citizens choose to receive the flu vaccine each season despite it being so deadly. Outdoor events in the UV light are probably lower risk than most would think. Getting back towards the thread topic... Bottom line is that I do not think that the 2020 football season is at significant risk of being cancelled. [/QUOTE]
