But like traffic, all it takes is one incident to mess the whole system up. You think if a player died, even though it was 1 out of hundreds, that people wouldn't be upset since it was easily preventable?

And don't those under-40 players also have families and friends that they talk to? Who could also infect others?

"Oh it's ok that Bobby died after catching it through his daughter's friend that lives with a MLB player, because Bobby has nothing to do with baseball."

And that's not even mentioning the fact that the percentage of under-40 hospitalizations has gone up as we speak.
True, but younger and healthier people have had serious cases and have died.
You're right.

But the same arguments of "one is too many" and they should "under 40's can spread the disease" spread to reopening restaurants and non-essential retail stores. If you are against those re-openings, then I will tip my hat to you for your consistency and admit we just have different definitions of acceptable risk.
