Just trying to get a sense of what counts as tragic to you. Well it is 1 out of every 425,000 people there, if that puts it into perspective as opposed to other risks, including those that could result from overreacting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make the attack any less tragic? The bigger point I'm trying to make is just because something is statistically insignificant doesn't mean it is insignificant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it prevents younger people from moving into those positions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to get a sense of what counts as tragic to you. Very small percentage considering there is 1.35 billion people in China and 3000 deaths is a equally small percentage of people who have died from other causes in China over the same period. Just saying! Tragic - no! death is inevitable. Edited March 13, 2020 by Poppycock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a choice, If the season is cancelled, would it not best to keep in touch with this year’s age-outs, determine how many would return for an extra year (and get a financial deposit). With a better handle on how many new members are needed for 2021, keep a certain number of spots open, or do not accept new members for 2021.
