It's not going to be easy to take this Season seriously if at all. I doubt any Stadium will allow fans in attendance this year, but, looking ahead to the 2021 Season- What will it take for you to attend a Game in the Stadium near you? In my case, with a number of personal pre-existing conditions: it's going to take a proven vaccine before I'd even consider a trip to a Stadium. on 2nd thought, to hell with the vaccine, as long as I can either sit in the dugout, owners booth or be the Batman- since I'm too old to be a Bat-Boy, and- I've always liked wearing a Cowl and a Cape! After all, the ultimate final swan song (death) would be on a baseball field, not in a baseball stadium, but on the field. On a serious note- what would it take (besides a free ticket behind home-plate) to attend a game in person??
I would not attend a crowded event until we either have vaccine or see the numbers drop dramatically.
Knowing that Tropicana Field is my closest locale to see a game is more scary and disgusting than the Covid. The way this turbo charges virus is picking up its pace I'm having serious doubts about MLB in 2020.
1 vaccine is already in mass production and a 2nd is being readied for mass production. This will happen in parallel to 30k cohort phase 3 clinical trials. I expect we'll be getting sars-cov-2 vaccine shots about the same time we get our seasonal flu and pneumonia boosters. both mRNA vaccines are looking very good, however the Moderna one (the one that makes Fauchi rich) seems to have harsher side-effects. The BioNTech/Pfizer version appears well tolerated and has a better innate immunity stimulation. The reason? they started working on SARS/MERS a decade ago because they had already been working an targeting coronaviruses...aka the common cold.
