re: NCAA : No fans in stands, events can go on ; NCAA Tournament officially no fans in stands

Because schools and workplaces are still open with kids and employees breathing on each other 8 hours a day. In smaller spaces.

And that's an argument against shutting down a giant open venue with thousands of people cycling in and out? Not to mention that businesses and schools in higher risk areas will be following suit where possible.

Exactly. The only way to "protect" people is immediate & total lockdown of all 330 million of us.
It's possible the sick people in NOLA were at Mardi Gras...so were a million other people. Quarantine them all immediately.
It's possible an athlete is infected right now but asymptomatic, what good does banning fans but allowing the games to continue do? So he can infect the team?
It's only being done for political points.
So all you panicky types never leave your house again. Protect us all since you're so very worried about everybody's health. And obey your betters.
I don't want to catch the flu.
