Babe Ruth’s entire career with the Yankees took place following the Spanish flu, which killed 49M more people than Covid has to this point.

This is going to go away, at some point, and when it does, we’ll go back to attending events in public.
Sure this will eventually be controlled. Will it go away? Nobody knows that yet. Comparisons with the Spanish flu are difficult. Remember that was a world where the only way to travel across oceans was by boat and most people still relied on horses or train for long distance overland. Containment was much easier And it still killed 50 million. In a global interconnected human civilization these viruses can be far more difficult to contain. Even an effective vaccine will take years to distribute world wide.

Pro sports is in trouble
