Unless they die.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

They're under contracts - it's one thing when one player breaks a leg or something and you're paying his contract (including health insurance) for a few weeks. The rest of the players are still making you income from their games.Hastur wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 11:22 pmThey're worth nothing if the aren't working.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2020 10:52 pmGot to protect the merchandise.

It's another thing entirely when 1/2 your team is in the hospital isolation, on ventilators and/or dead, and the rest maybe are incubating it. They're costing you a fortune for no return on investment.

They do if you want to slow the spread of the virus.
Same reason that schools are being shut down all over the world.
