They probably would have been better off building immunity since they are healthy. |

If they show anything they show that the novel Coronavirus is not spreading to people who are employed, working from home, mostly affluent nearly as much as it is spreading to poor people in big cities. The MLB employees are not a great representation of the public, but it does also show we are insanely far from herd immunity across the US as a whole. Also not great for death rates, although again I’d caution against using the antibody data of this subset of the population against the US population.

I don't know how well it applies to the rest of the population though. It does go to show just how many people there are in the country. It is probably true we have way more cases than we know because of lack of testing. But even if that's true... it's still likely a small percentage of the population that's had this thing. You might have to infect another 200 million more people to get to herd immunity. And that would likely mean millions dead. |

Comparing insanely wealthy athletes to the average Joe probably isn’t anywhere near the real numbers.

Wait on a vaccine indefinitely or rip the bandaid off. There are your choices. |

It was literally an NBA player getting this that shut down the whole country. |

It’s also worth noting that though a small number, the results continue to show infected people are very often without symptoms, as 70% of the antibody positives had none.

They can isolate in massive castles. Best nutrition money can buy, and they don’t have to lift a finger to get what they need. I would say that the average Joe has a lot more exposure to this than they do.

The only hope was to get out ahead of it in January and Februrary, and we didn't. I said that in March. And here we are. We are going to have to pay the price. |
