There's a balance there and unfortunately no one appears willing to look for the balance for fear of being labeled a denier or conspiracy theorist. Same goes for other college spring sports and even youth leagues. Heck, I'm going to work everyday for the foreseeable future, as are millions of other Americans everyday. We're not shutting everything down and hiding in our homes for a month.

I had the same thought and I hope you’re right but I’ve seen zero indication from credible sources and experts that suggest you are. Travel, facility staff, refs, multiple teams, tv crews...and the chance of community spread becomes significant. It’s not 5 on 5 even without spectators it’s still hundreds at each site. This thing has been around longer and infected WAY more people than we are aware of or what’s being reported.

I think it happens regardless of what we do. If this thing spreads as easily as it seems, outside of locking people up in their homes for a month I don't see how we stop it from spreading. And I don't think anyone is proposing locking all homes for a month.

Mitigation. As SDhornet mentioned, shallowing the curve. The more precautions we take, the less exposure and the lower the death rate.

That's why the only logical course of action in that thought sequence is to shut every business/school/church/government down now, require people to stay in their homes for a minimum of two weeks, and only then let people out. Anything short of that is risking exposure.
