I wouldn't think an at risk person would be at the game. He will be at his/her job interacting with people that went to the game and that is where that person catches it. All he decided to do was make a living. He doesn't get to make the choice of going to the football game. He decided that he wanted to work and now potentially a lot more people have the damn virus because 60 to 100 thousand people decided to hang out together in a stadium for 4 hours.
Like I said before, if the virus wasn't contagious and the only people that could catch it, were the people at the game then I'd say play ball and everyone knows the risk.
The problem is the people that don't want to take the risk, but need to work to survive.
The evidence shows this is nothing to worry about for 98% of people. I'm not worried for myself or my family. I don't listen to the hysteria, I look at the evidence and talk to my friends in the medical community (one of which is the director for a major hospital chain in the South). I doubt my Dad will go (he's older and has a heart issue) but he's the first one to say get out there and don't worry about it. I'm not going to lick the handrails at the games or anything like that but I'm certainly not going to live my life based on hypothetical what if's that make little to no sense (and the evidence is starting to debunk anyway). Heck, I'm far more concerned about the drive to the game. Sorry, we just see it different. Not going to argue about it though. That's what the COVID thread is for.
