I'm sure all you 49er fans out there were very upset when they blew their 10 point lead to the Chiefs late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV, but to many health experts and doctors at the University of San Francisco Medical Department and around the Bay, that may have been the best case scenario for the region.
The weekend of the Super Bowl was the same weekend that the Bay Area started battling its first cases of Coronavirus. So far the Bay Area has done a very good job at containing the virus and making sure it isn't spreading at the rate of New York City or other hot spots around the country. That being said though, if the Chiefs had failed to come back, we could be living a very different reality today.
Many health experts and doctors around Bay are saying that this was in fact a blessing in disguise because with a Super Bowl victory, comes a Victory Parade. Experts are saying if a parade had been held in downtown San Francisco that could have easily spiked the number of cases in the Bay Area, when hospitals were at their weakest and most unprepared points.

I think that it was helpful that the 49s weren't in the Superbowl this year. Without it, many people would be having parties, going to grocery stores and be interacting with large groups of people. Since so much is unknown about corona and the lack of tests, it's good that there would've been no risk of celebrations.
