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.
Survival rates aren't the issue. If an official tests positive, do you think he'll be working any more games for the next couple of weeks? What about his partners from the last game he worked? Will they have to wait to work, or will they be allowed to work immediately? What about the other officials he worked with the week prior to testing positive?

That goes for any business. If your employees start popping up positive, how are you going to conduct business? Are customers are going to want to utilize your business?

It goes beyond whether or not a particular person will die or get severely ill.
