Tiger King star Carole Baskin tells the USA Today newspaper that people should not be allowed to attend the Super Bowl because of the coronavirus. ''I just think it’s irresponsible for people to be gathering in large groups, even though I understand they’re saying this is a much smaller group than they’ve ever had. What I have seen is every time there’s a big event, whether it be a protest or a political rally, after that thing happens there’s this huge uptick in the number of local people who (test) positive for COVID-19. And there’s no way if you bring 22,000 people to Tampa, from all over the place, that you’re not going to see that same kind of huge uptick in cases here. There’s nothing that would justify that sort of risk-taking. We are right now dealing with life or death on this planet and I think every one of us should be doing our part to stay home."
The stadium is 12 miles from Carole's big cat sanctuary.
