How many people have you killed if you were ever infected with flu or some other airborne virus? This thinking is absurd.

A champions league game was the source of a major spike in both Italy and Spain and ended up killing thousands.

I expect more intellectual honesty and curiosity on this site tbh. Please don’t purposely reduce the quality of the experience here. Some context

>The match is being called "Game Zero" because it was played just two days before the first positive case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Italy. The head of pulmonology at a Bergamo hospital, which is outside of Milan and the usual home of Atalanta, recently described the Champions League match as "a biological bomb." There were also about 2,500 Valencia fans in the stands for the match, and 35 percent of Valencia's team tested positive for the coronavirus a few weeks later.

>Bergamo Mayor Giorgio Gori echoed that statement.

So a mayor and head of pulmonology offered qualitative descriptions of something that's ultimately a matter of epidemiology and data collection?

I'm having a hard time with these articles that take quotes with extreme language and pass it off as definitive evidence of reality.

Anyone can call something a "biological bomb" - where's the studies?
