FWIW, Snodgrass teleconferenced with some media yesterday. Nothing has changed since his previous press conference regarding a timetable for winter and spring sports.
Looking at current death toll numbers in Ohio or the US doesn't necessarily indicate what the final outcome will be. If anyone is following what is currently happening in other industrialized countries like Italy or Spain, then one can see that the larger issue is what happens if and when the health system is overwhelmed. That is when the number of deaths would skyrocket.
Some quick numbers I found online:
Italy, Median Age = 45.1, Number of Hospital Beds per 1000 People = 3.4, Number of Doctors per 1000 People = 4.1.
Spain, Median Age = 42.3, Number of Hospital Beds per 1000 People = 3.0, Number of Doctors per 1000 People = 4.1.
U.S.A, Median Age = 37.9 (Ohio's is 39.3), Number of Hospital Beds per 1000 People = 2.9, Number of Doctors per 1000 People = 2.6.
It's an advantage that we're a younger population than either of those 2 nations, but the lesser capacity of our health system negates some of that advantage. The major advantage that we have is that we don't live on top of each other as people do in places like New York City or many of the large old cities of Europe (such as Milan or Barcelona). The term is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me, but if "social distancing" doesn't continue for awhile longer, then we eliminate that major advantage, and our health system remains at risk of being overwhelmed. Keep in mind that we also can't test as much as we'd like, 1/6 of the cases in Ohio and an even larger % of those currently hospitalized for this virus in Ohio are health care employees, and we're experiencing a shortage of PPE. Does it sound like it's the right time to resume normal life and play some ballgames?
Since there's not much better to do right now, here's a link to the median ages for numerous communities in Ohio as well as all 88 counties:
