COVID19 Is serious and can’t be ignored, but Overreaction to this situation is rapidly snowballing out of control in this state.
A solution other than cancelling the tourney that still minimized risks could have been developed.
As of today, only 2 people have tested positive of the 56 tested so far. In order to be tested, you have to be sick enough to be admitted to a hospital for care and have enough risk factors and clinical and laboratory findings to raise suspicion for COVID. Clearly this can change as the situation goes forward, but so far, over 96% of people with more severe respiratory illnesses suspicious for COVID are by and large infected with other pathogens.
