Again, not comparing medicine.
Comparing the "let's go forward with a parade involving 200,000 people, regardless of this 1918 outbreak" to "we should continue to have the NCAA Tournament, regardless of this 2020 outbreak".
The human thought process is similar. The medicine is completely different.
Hey, if you want to argue that we have SO MUCH MORE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE in 2020, that's fair. But, if that is the case, then how is it even a close call? The very fact that in 2020, SOME PEOPLE are still arguing for "business as usual", when we know SO MUCH MORE in 2020 than we knew in 1918 is...very compelling evidence that while we've had scientific advances, we are still stuck with some slow-moving logical/thought process developments.
That's all.
