Attendance next year?

I didn’t ask any further questions. I trust they will treat us as fairly as possible, but I’m sure the situation is fluid right now. I still think this is gonna clear up by fall, and all of this will be in the rear view for those willing to brave the world. No doubt attendance in large crowds will be impacted everywhere.
 
I am sure there will be refunds for any games not played. I hope that is not a reason anyone considers when they buy season tickets or individual game tickets.

Da Coach, why did SARS suddenly disappear in early 2004 never to be seen again?

It is a question that even the top virus scientists don't really know all the answers. SARS (also known now as SARS-CoV-1) was a highly infectious virus with a high mortality rate of around 10% that spread from China to other parts of the world, and threatened to become a pandemic in 2003.
SARS, like Covid-19, is a coronavirus. There are dozens of known coronaviruses. All but a few have only been seen in lower animals like bats, dogs, cats, and other mammals. It is believed that mutations happen frequently in coronaviruses, and that may be what allows a new strain to emerge or for a strain to jump to human hosts. But likewise, mutations are thought to be a factor that can change the course of viral outbreaks like SARS (and hopefully Covid-19). Public health measures were important in limiting transmission and eliminating the disease in 2003 (a few more cases were seen in 2004 due to a laboratory accident), but the SARS virus itself likely underwent a number of mutations that changed it's nature and may have made it incapable of infecting humans. The leading theory is that it mutated back to a form that only affects lower animals.
No cases have been seen since 2004. The virus still exists in laboratory samples in several places in the world.
