"No one around us was sick, so we thought we'd be OK"
"We didn't think the health officials would let us (play/attend/cheer) if it was not safe"
On this we agree completely: if any of the attendees come down with Covid 19, they will definitely be on our TV sets . . .
"If any"....nah, not all. Just some.
Also in many cases the family members come on TV after their loved one has passed away, so we definitely don't see all of those that get COVID19 on TV.
FWIW - you know its bad when your school has a COVID dashboard.

For now the recent burst of cases has not expanded to their faculty, so that's helpful. If I was a faculty member at Bama I would definitely start buying surgical grade PPE to wear to my lectures ASAP, and I would tape off the first few rows in the lecture hall too.
