50-69 99.5%
70+ 94.6%
I would guess most of those officials Cameron is worried about fall in the 50-69 age group. Based on these statistics, and the statistics for obesity and obesity related illness in the US, those officials have orders of magnitude greater chance of having a heart attack and dying during the game than they have of catching and dying from cronoavirus.

The issue is not dying. There are other things that can happen to you if you contact the virus or that we do not know for sure what can happen to you. So if that is all you are worried about, then you are not dealing with the facts of the concern.
