Nationals and Coronavirus.

I think that might be part of his point. If we are great in a month, everybody looks like a genius. If not, another reason for half the country to hate our leadership. While we can't predict the future morbidity and mortality, what is certain is when the economic impact of this settles, a lot of people may wish they were dead. In my opinion, in a couple of weeks, we will all look back on Michael's statement with the same feeling I have about it right now. :censor: Take a look at Italy and where they were two weeks ago. Now, project out where we will be two weeks from now. This isn't about politics, nor should it be! As you know, the highest risk age group is 60-80, which is a large percentage of those who attend Nationals. As you also know, you can be a carrier of the virus and not show symptoms. You can also not show symptoms for up to 14 days (the average is 5 days). That could very well be the case with many younger and healthy attendees sitting on the bleacher benches next to those who are most at risk. Personally, I would feel really bad for King Frog (70) if he were sitting next to some 25-year-old who has the virus, is not showing symptoms, and ends up giving it to K.F. King Frog could end up bringing an unwanted "souvenir" onto the airplane and back home to Seal Girl (if she doesn't go with him) and their family and friends before he shows symptoms! Michael might think he knows more than the CDC and top doctors in this country dealing with this pandemic, but I doubt it. I also think it's sad that he refers to COVID-19 as a "mild viral infection," which, according to statistics, is deadlier than the flu. Tell the family members of those who have died that COVID-19 is a "mild viral infection" and see howthey react. The same goes for those who are getting seriously ill from this virus! Perhaps we should all be thinking about who we may infect if we get the virus but don't show symptoms. Be responsible! It's not all about us; it's about other people, too. I get it if you don't care for the media's handling of this. Fine. Just do us all a favor, Michael, bookmark the CDC's website or coronavirus.gov and educate yourself!
