Message: [QUOTE="caseyb7, post: 3466340, member: 9520"] I'm a fan and desperately want to go. I also am generally not an alarmist, but do have some education and have been watching the medical media. As of right now (Fri pm) I don't know what I will do. Hard for all us to sort this out & the vested interests are tailoring their reporting on this so as to confuse us all, whether or not we have expertise. The economics of this are an unfolding mega-disaster and many have an interest in playing Larry Vaughn's role as the protective mayor of Amity in Jaws trying to safeguard his community's economic well-being in the face of crisis. But more and more of the not politically affiliated medical community are coming out against discretionary public gathering - especially large. More today on prime CNN, MSNBC air. Which is totally politically INCORRECT because it crushes the economy if you warn people not to even go to movies. Several of the non-politically driven medical/public health officials have gone on air to explain what "elevated risk" means, and it's not just us seniors. Actually as they laid out THEIR definition it counts over half of the total US population going far beyond age alone to include anyone with a laundry list of underlying conditions or increased vulnerabilities. OK so I'm really not trying to be Kassandra here and hope to God this is way over-blown, but in all honesty I don't know and lots of politically independent smart people are urging caution including simple public outings like movies. Screws me as I want to go the the last PC Friars home game tomorrow too. I don't know, I just don't know. [/QUOTE]
