Even as Covid-19 starts to drop, it is suppose to spike back up in the fall. If a fan gets sick at a game and dies. The NFL and team will be sued. It will not get back till normal until a vaccine. Which best case scenario we will have by late 2020, early 2021. There is no way to prove where you got it, people can’t sue if you get the cold or the flu. It’s a personal choice and risk to attend an event...

Now Cuomo is saying they believe at least 2 million New Yorkers have already been effected with this virus which would leave the death rate % in NY at .009%. They also think similar numbers are in Cali, which would even make their death rate lower than NY. Hopefully things will be opening up & that includes sporting events. At least that is what I am hoping. What we do know for a fact, is, left to take its course, this is a disease that overwhelms health care systems. It did so in Wuhan. It did so in Northern Italy. It did so in Spain. It did so in NYC. If covid-19 starts to do the exponential growth thing again that contagious diseases do, when social distancing restrictions are lifted, why would one believe it wouldn't overwhelm the healthcare systems again as it did in NYC before being checked (and most of the country avoided) - whether the true case fatality rate is 5%, 0.5%, or 0.05%? "Send all the young healthy people out to get sick and isolate the elderly and vulnerable", who exactly do you guys think are caregiving and supplying the elderly and vulnerable? OK, on that note, this is becoming too much of a general covid-19 discussion vs. discussion of pros and cons of a late-start or truncated NFL season. Take it to the discussion threads in OTW or PPP 1
