Sounds like they are in CYA mode. I suspect they were much more lax during the practice than they are saying now. Nobody wants to say "we knew it wasn't safe, but we practiced anyway"

So what were the other 17 sick with?

It sounds like they weren’t tested, but presumed to have the virus.

I think the cruise ship is a good data point too - 3,700 people, population skews old. Stuck on the ship for 3

On the Diamond Princess the death rate is 1.4%, or 14x higher than the flu.

But if you overlay age demographics onto USA population it drops to like <0.2%

That is old data. They are now up to 10 deaths.

No, I missed that last line. In any case, those extra deaths probably explain

Which is why it's ridiculous that people on CB keep asking "why is this worse

Skews old? Don't forget the crew, most of whom "skews" young.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall and see how members interacted before...

So it goes...

There was tray full of mandarin oranges they provided. It wasn't as sanitary as

Oh, not much was going on. But the potato salad was good.

The theory is the forceful singing aerosolized the virus.

This seems like it would also take place in a gym with people breathing heavily.

Is it possible that this group of people interacted a lot outside of this?

They set up chairs, they took down chairs, they ate mandarin oranges provided

I just heard about this today. Singing definitely produces a lot of droplets
