Because it's "novel", there is no herd immunity for coronavirus like there is for the flu, which means that in the absence of these safety measures virtually every American would get it. 98.5% recovery looks like a lot, until you realize 1.5% of Americans is about 4.5 million people. Even if that estimate is high, you're still talking about millions of people. 

So basically you're saying "why sacrifice entertainment for the sake of millions of lives?" (and just in the U.S. alone). 

Comparing Corona to the flu is to completely ignore the facts. 

I see the facts, I read, I listen and I see in Ohio less deaths from this virus than the flu that we have a vaccine for right now. So to say this is not up for debate and my points are void of facts are wrong. I see in Clermont County a whopping 4 deaths in 4 months and people are at the grocery, working in fast food restaurants and of course our medical people and first responders are not just sitting on a a couch.


Also, what virus in the history of man has been created that 100% of the population is in danger. We already know kids and the younger population death rates are almost non existent. We know if you are 65 and older you are vulnerable or if you have pre-existing conditions you are at risk to die. How many young healthy people have died from this virus? The answer is so small it almost does not register.

Like I said, NFL players may get it just like they get sick with cancer of other illnesses, get back to me when a lot of them die from it verus just get sick from it.
