Fair Point. I read it somewhere recently but can't find the source. The author

was talking how the RO value is about 2.5 times the flu which would suggest it is 2.5 times as contagious but then went on to talk about asymptomatic spread and how it brought the number up to possibly 50 to 100 times more so. Then again, I could have been dreaming that. At my age, I'm never quite sure. Good call out.

For a virus that has virtually no death rate among that specific age group?

It's an airborne virus. Those lineman up in each others' grills huffing and

Why is this virus so special then? Flu is bad too? Cancelling and quitting

It is 50-100 times more contagious than the flu. That could be a factor.

It's not that much more contagious. What are your sources?

This is just not true. Everything I looked up said it was nowhere near this.

lots of coaches, staffers and workers that are needed to put on a football game are not in that specific age group

And yet, that age group has virtually no death rate either. It’s the 80+ group.

36% of all Covid deaths in the USA are age 35-75. Right in the wheel house of coaches, staffers and stadium workers

36% = 35-75 w preexisting health condition; most of remaining 64% = 76 & over.

People still don't want to end up in the hospital, whether they die or not.

True, but college FB has few personnel who'd be in danger of hospitalization.

half of LES workers on game day are over 75 it seems

If that's true, that'd obviously have to change. There's a real danger to them.
