Nationals and Coronavirus.

Elaine, Although I hesitate to respond to your thinly veiled insult, I need to remind you that nothing in my post suggested politics. Instead, it was trying to attack the herd mentality of cancelling events more than a month away. The real killer historically in the USA is any version of the annual influenza season, killing an average of 20,000 citizens per year. COVID-19 is up to about 55 as of this writing. We do not cancel sport seasons for the flu. So why this, which is reportedly less intense and has a mortality rate of under 1%? Your invective towards the "mass media" was much less thinly veiled than anything Elaine said. 4-5 times more contagious than the flu and a good solid order of magnitude more lethal. Ignoring that is like saying that people driving under the influence of alcohol going 150+ MPH don't cause as many accidents as those driving under the speed limit completely sober shouldn't be cited or reeled back in. It really isn't that tough to figure out.
