Tell Me the Difference Between School Games and Walmart

Dear Editor, 

First of all, Coronavirus does exist and has devastated this country and Montana has had its increase in cases lately. But…..as a parent, I would be more devastated to not be able to see my son or daughter play their sports during their high school years, especially their senior year.

I understand the concern the health officials have for any event that could see an outbreak in cases, but I can walk into WalMart, Home Depot or Baskin Robbins and be surrounded by more people wearing masks and social distancing in a confined area, and not get infected with coronavirus. So if parents sat in the stands or stood by the fence wearing masks and are social distancing, I can’t understand the difference?
