Should events drawing large crowds be canceled over COVID-19?

It's in the interest of the public to keep people healthy, so canceling large events or ones that draw a crowd is probably smart to do. There's always next year!

Virus needs new hosts. Don't give the virus that opportunity.

I think we have a responsibility to the immunocompromised and elderly around us to do what we can to prevent the spread.

Only because when there are big events people neglect to keep up their hygiene, washing hands and are in close proximity to one another causing it to spread more quickly.

Trump overrides all even dictators with their politicized science myth. Public health officials rubber stamp but don't go on field. All cases & TRO will be overturned. 1st amendment. abuse of power

Depends on where you live, i.e., Italy or China. So far, it hasn't arrived here in Bend, tho it probably will eventually. Until it does, I think events, especially outdoor ones, are probably safe.

This is all over blown by to much media hype. Now I'm off to buy TP.

People need to be smart...do NOT touch your face after you have been in public...use hand washing/or hand sanitizer when you cannot wash...people need to stay home if they are ill

The sky is not falling people. If you want to stay home, fine. But don't impose your irrational fears on the rest of us.

How do you feel about this question a month later? The U.S is leading the world in the total number of infections/mortality rate and you have the nerve to say this. Educate yourself.

I am more concerned that there is a stronger variant of the Covid-19 virus. I am taking extra precautions like wearing my mask again.

We've been watching this since the 70's. We like most of the sports.

I enjoy the track and field events. The traditional events are what the Olympics are about. Beach Volleyball and all the other Johnny Come Lately events are not traditional and not what the Olympics are about to me. I know others will disagree with me. I feel sorry for you.

No chance! I watch the Olympic to watch the athletes compete with the best in the world. The American athletes have degraded the Olympics to a political statement! Complete waste of time!!!!

It is too boring. Too many athletes have made it political just as football and the rest. They don't deserve to be in sports if they can't keep it to just sports.

Don't really watch any sports except golf and maybe a hockey game and will not until they quit being political and bring sports back just for the game. Tired of athletes and celebs telling us what to do and how to think.

I realize not all US Olympians hate the US but those that do have ruined the events for many of US. If you weren't alive at the time of the 1968 Olympics when George Foreman jogged around the ring with the the American flag you can't imagine the pride we felt.
