If it was 0.2 out of 1,000 chance like the flu, probably not too worried and a reasonable risk. We don't want this to be a regular thing like the flu. If it does, hundreds of thousands will die.
There is no need to cancel sporting events. Just play without crowds. Most people think the NCAA or NBA not having crowds is some protection for the players. The players are fine. They don't interact with the fans. They take charters, etc. 80,000 people in Arrowhead even with Covid-19 aren't going to give Kendall Fuller the virus.
If we are limiting media exposure & no fans interacting with fans, that is a good step for the players but it's more of a public service for big events to temporarily shut down.
Put USA on lockdown for 1 month for big groups, and this thing might be squashed. But you have to mean business. You can't just all lackadaisical and trusting that people will voluntary self quarantine. Most people don't give a shit about people they don't know and will not take the proper precautions. The economy is cyclical. It will go down, and once this is mitigated it will sky rocket once again.
With internet, Amazon Prime and the like. We have never been more equipped in human history to not leave our homes unless for work or emergencies. Anybody that can WFA, should, NOW.

Math challenged or are you really arguing .2% vs. .4%?
Let me help you....4/1000=.004 or .4%
you want to lock down the country for the difference of .2%?
