Now that I think about it, if Chapo went right now and got the virus, we would all be happy. He would be happy because he got to see the game. We would be happy because he got the virus.
Edit to say: Just kidding, sometimes I can't resist being drawn to his level of commentary and humor.

Storyline aside, the Week 1 Saturday slate of games is really pretty weak. Good chance this game, if played, gets a pretty good slot.

So abandon the FOX propaganda line.
Second I don't know where you live but here in Minnesota the curve is not flat yet. Our work is not done. North Dakota is a different story, there is nobody there. Go ahead and open it up.
Oct 1st 2019 to April 2020 CDC est. flu deaths at 24000 to 62000

As far as actual Covid deaths you can believe they are actual if you want.

Most informed people know that with the current criteria when in doubt medical personnel are counting all COVID possible deaths as COVID. The number is likely inflated a bit. Also, 2 or 3 years ago there were over 60,000 deaths from the flu.

If it saves just one life, right?

Ha, ha. Did FOX tell you all that? Nonsense. Try again buckos.
Imagine, 60,000 flu deaths in a year and an ER doc at a very busy hospital who has been practicing for nearly a decade and who has never seen a single person die of the flu.
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com...es-to-oranges/
To save you some of your precious time so you can get back to FOX:
"The 25,000 to 69,000 numbers that Trump cited do not represent counted flu deaths per year; they are estimates that the CDC produces by multiplying the number of flu death counts reported by various coefficients produced through complicated algorithms. These coefficients are based on assumptions of how many cases, hospitalizations, and deaths they believe went unreported. In the last six flu seasons, the CDC’s reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths—that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus—has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620, which far lower than the numbers commonly repeated by public officials and even public health experts."

Leave the political stuff for the COVID-19 timeline.
We're still holding off trying to get tickets for this game even though we would love to go.
