Great move by Columbus, as offering an option for those worried (or ill) to opt-out now is a huge advantage for a few reasons
- limit the probability of bringing the virus into your building
- quell fears of fans wondering what's coming
Nevermind keeping your PR team out of the fire I'm sure a few teams will find themselves in as they play chicken with cancellations.
It's also worth noting that they've found the virus has been able to live up to 9 days... so someone coughing on the back of a seat would be ridiculous in most of these arenas. Giving anyone with even a slight cough zero obligation to go to a hockey game right now is a really smart (and generous) move.
Also, if everyone bought in aren't we only talking about 2-3 weeks or a month of downtime for this to... pass by?
