Watching a soccer game in England.  They decided to let fans attend under "strict" rules.  Must wear a mask, must maintain distance, no singing or shouting.  What could go wrong?

"Chelsea's game against Leeds at Stamford Bridge, which starts at 2000 GMT, will also have 2,000 fans present.

The Premier League issued advice on safety measures on Saturday, including a warning for fans not to get carried away when their team scores a goal.

"Fans can celebrate but should remain socially distanced from people outside their social bubble," said the advice.

"Hugging of other fans and high-fives should be avoided and fans are asked to be respectful to those around them, including avoiding excessive shouting or singing."

Look at all of the noses.  I have a friend who calls that kind of mask a chin diaper.

If this were 100 years ago (like the flu pandemic) it would be much more of a field exercise in Darwin's theory.

Snark aside, we are fortunate that it is not 1918 or we would literally have bodies stacked in refrigerator trucks in every city in the country.

The problem is that Darwin's Natural Selection does not work for humans anymore. There are unnatural ways to correct their wrongs.

Stupidity shouldn't always be painful, sometimes it needs to be fatal. Even then they never learn.

Liverpool fans.  If you follow soccer you know that the games are almost more about fans singing and shouting than actually watching the game.  Probably the best place to catch the virus in an outdoor setting.  Standing in one place surrounded by shouting singing men who don't realize that their nose is involved in breathing.
