Their businesses don’t shut down, their employers don’t send everyone home, the world doesn’t stop. Why is this one so special? Just wondering…
You’re kidding I hope. Watching a person go into cardiac arrest and almost die affects everyone who is present at that moment. The 1000 people you mention rarely have more that a few people there when it happens. Demar had millions watching him.
