Well, whenever this game has a blood point event, as I said, the community goes to pot. A blood point event would ironically have the opposite effect on me (I don't really care about blood points anyways). Either turns everybody into try hards or people who want to farm and then suicide on hook if the killer doesn't want to and it just doesn't become fun. I've intentionally avoided the last three(?) x2 blood point events and judging from the complaints I see on this very forum during every event, they aren't things I've regretted missing.
I know I'm the exception in this department ("WHAT? U NO LIKE MORE BLOODPOINTS?), but I know I'm also not the only one.
...Not that I'd be tempted to go outside right now anyways unless I had to. Nor are any of the other like, 40+ kids that live on my block alone. Usually everybody is outside playing during spring break but it's been miserably empty and silent since the start of the month.
As many people already explained, the whole point of this post is to make an event to keep more people at home, offering a tiny, little bit of motivation to the ones that are trying to stay quarantined to avoid spreading the virus. So when you say that many people will turn into tryhards or will simply do it for free bloodpoints you are, first of all, forgetting about the whole part of the community who will actually benefit (from an emotional point of view) from the mere presence of the event and, second, the fact that even if some will partecipate in the event only for the BPs, they are still staying at home, which is the whole point of the thing.
You should consider things from both sides of the coin: right now people will take just about anything they can to ease their tension since, like it's been said here, the medias are basically spreading panic and seeing people in the streets with masks or thinking you can't go outside doesn't really help; so I'm hopeful that this event would be taken positively by the community and, even if I know that this is unlikely to happen, if DbD and other many games adopted a similar reward system for staying inside, I think that quite some progress could be made towards a larger containment of the Covid-19.
I look at the situation in my country, like you do, and know that here in Italy, while the situation is surely not the worst out of all, it still looks dire to the people living it, and the fact that as a country we are divided isn't helping at all: while many are desperately trying to stay closed inside to help containing the virus, there are a lot of others who are completely ignoring the quarantine warnings, spreading the virus at every corner. So when we talk about having x2 bloodpoints on DbD or any kind of event to keep people at home in other games, we are thinking of giving a small reminder to the ones that are trying to stay quarantined while seeing others going out like it's nothing, a reminder that staying inside is not all about losing time while you could go out, but you are doing it for a reason, which is avoiding further spread of the virus, and you should be encouraged to do so.
I get your point, you say that with x2 the games turns into a mess with all the players turning into farming beasts, thing that would make some people drop the game for the duration of the event, but if we are talking about reception then the Devs are the ones that have the statistics and can tell if the event actually increases the number of active players, thing that I'm positive happens, since it's usually done during important periods of time when people are at home, can play and will most likely buy more things, since you progress faster.
I'm quite positive this is just a small incentive, but then, why wouldn't you give it? Especially when it's something that could make people feel better.

What if the BHVR team can't work because of the virus. So we are just stuck with the game as is. O.o
Though I'm totally down for double BP.
I read a post on Instagram that said the Devs set up a way to work from home to keep the game up, don't know if it's offical tho

Maybe because a virus that's killing people and ruining other peoples' livelihoods isn't something that shouldn't be celebrated.
Besides, this community goes to pot whenever a double blood point event happens, anyway.
Have you even read the post? I'm obvioulsy not talking about celebrating, it's literally the opposite. Covid-19 is quite clearly a threat and people are way more loose about something that is causing deaths than what you think of, since in many countries they are just going around the streets like nothing is happening. This post is NOT meant to be a flame or a provocation of any sort, I clearly wrote that I wish for more people to stay closed in their own houses so all of this can end quicker.
