[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 717443, member: 1191"] I understand where you are coming from, and agree at some point in the future, we are going to have to engage the risk. The purpose of the "social distancing" is to allow time to prepare for that point. The Flu kills a small minority of people who catch it because humans have built up natural antibodies to the flu. We have no natural antibodies to COVID-19. Also, currently in the USA, the death rate from COVID-19 is around 6% of all infected people. If you actually look at the percentage of deaths as a percentage of cases that have an outcome (recovered vs death) then that number is now 21% of the population. Considering the flu kills around .2% or less each year there is an exponentially greater chance of dying from COVID-19 than the flu. Now, I will not get into the politics of shutdowns, etc, but when you have a disease that kills at that rate, then you have no business putting people in harms way for a game. I've paid for my season tickets, and I hope to be in attendance this fall. I will be disappointed if the season is delayed/cancelled, but I will understand completely. [/QUOTE]
