No need for snide comments. This discussion was meant to stimulate discussion. If you can't handle it, you can resort back to observer status. I think we are all aware that people have died, your comments come across as disrespectful of that.
This isn't about a "travel tournament", that characterization suggests that you don't understand the setting that these kids are playing in.
That said, I will repeat again that I have very mixed views, since at a high level I totally get that many events that would by most be deemed higher priority than DA soccer have been or are at risk of being canceled.
But, a close look at the circumstances might make this a closer call:
(1) Most articles looking closely at the risks associated with air travel point out that the risk of catching a virus on a plane stems from touching dirty surfaces on the plane, rather than from circulation of air. Gloves, hand sanitizer, increased awareness might not completely eliminate the risk, but can mitigate it greatly.
(2) These events are not heavily populated with large crowds bumping up against each other or standing next to each other. Also, these events are held outdoors, not in enclosed spaces.
At a time when markets are crashing, people are already starting to lose jobs, economic activity is churning to a halt and people are on edge, opportunities for normalcy and some enjoyment ought to at least be considered and shouldn't necessarily be ruled out by broad-brush fear. That's all.
