Maybe by the "Last Plan" means the last plan in the Covid 19 guidelines. Once guidelines are lifted, no more plans. Everything back to normal! (Hoping)

Death just perked up its ears.

Will this happen every time? Of course not. But if your inability to delay gratification can result in even one stranger catching the virus and dying I question your choice. I do not think a game of paddleball or basketball is potentially worth someone’s life, so I choose to not take the risk. But I can still be at risk if you ignore the pandemic. You actions and choices effect the community, not just you.

I do understand your fear. Perhaps some facts can soothe you.

Statistically, catching the virus is no big deal. Being in the high risk group and catching the virus can be a big deal. But we have almost total control over whether we catch this virus. Just don’t participate.

If they open everything back up totally, including stadiums and concerts, the vulnerable are at no higher risk unless they attend the game or concert. Making everyone else miserable does not make you safer. In fact, the ultimate fact that has always saved mankind is herd immunity. That’s where so many people have recovered and are then immune that the few who are at risk are safe because there are no more carriers if the virus.

Paddleball and basketball pose no threat to anyone unless they themselves play.

I hope this can make some people feel better.

Why not? It is an outdoor venue.

No way! Not buying it.

Have you been staying home because over 45,000 Americans have died from seasonal flu even though there is a vaccine? We will never be free from the possibility if disease and no vaccine will be 100% effective.
