Realistically, how many people are you likely to infect if you are sick and go to a sporting event? Maybe a small number of people right around you, and that's probably it. Yet people act as if one guy is sick, then suddenly the whole stadium has it. That is just not how it works at all. Otherwise you would have always gotten sick every time you went to any sporting event, concert, or amusement park over the past 40 or 50 years, and no one would want to go. People are pretty stupid about this, though.

"Yet people act as if one guy is sick, then suddenly the whole stadium has it."

Of course nobody acted that way but if it makes you feel better to pretend they have, go for it. What else do you have?

They shut them down, so yes, they acted that way.

What else do I have? A lot more sense than you, kiddo.

They didn't shut anything down because of the opening game laddie boy.

I meant shutting down live sports with crowds in the first place. Back in March. That was a mistake.

Coronavirus Cases:

31,851,963


view by country (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries)
Deaths:

976,596

Recovered:

23,451,499



So in six months close to a million people died. And if you factor in people that died JUST from COVID19 that number drops to around ten thousand. You know how many people die every six months world wide BEFORE Covid19?

You know how many new deaths they have had in Kansas & Missouri (two states that make up KC area)? ZERO!
