A dangerous virus is raging, and we should stay home and avoid travel. Or not. It all depends on whom you listen to — and, of course, whom you believe.

We are so sick of quarantining and missing out on the simple joys of being alive in a free country that the start of baseball — and nothing says ‘‘Play ball!’’ like a spring day game at the Friendly Confines — could bring us pure exhilaration.
And maybe it will. Let’s hope it does.
