Social distancing works.  It flattens the peak and reduces the totals, dramatically.  But for social distancing to work, it has to be enforced, and that means that even seemingly trivial stuff that is not important has to be cancelled or postponed.

So how does playing a college baseball game in front of no fans undermine social distancing?  Softball games?  Swim meets?

Are college sports teams still practicing, even if their formal competitions have been canceled?  I presume the answer is yes - at least for a large segment of those teams.  If so, why is that allowed to happen?  Are there not social distancing concerns there, too?

Fishing for a principle that is hard to find, other than no restriction may be questioned.  
Maybe we should call it the Dean Wormer Principle!  

We're all on Double Secret Probation, and "No more fun of any kind!!"
