Like flu sick, not cold sick It's not that it's dumb, it just makes no sense. It's not just about hockey. You and I are both on a hockey team. I'm carrying but asymptomatic...I need to know this because 1. You may get it and get sicker, 2. I may pass it to staff who passes to their families, 3. I may pass it to fans who pass it to their families. This is bigger than hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Can asymptomatic people even pass it on? Can you even get it twice? Should asymptomatic people even be tested? The opinions around these questions are wildly varying, and throw in the newest varient, and they almost all begin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Perhaps, but I don't get the same outcome when I do a basic risk analysis for myself, or my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you mean, but we're talking about the risk to the league and how the risk to players translates to risk for everybody. It's better to shut down now for 10 days and stop the spread then it is to try and keep playing, reschedule games, go to the olympics, whatever.

Dunny Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 OK, I don't necessarily disagree with that, but bailing on the Olympics seems like a no brainer at this point. Ideally, they could use that time to backfill what's missed, scheduling issues aside. The entirety of the Olympics should really be canceled, for numerous reasons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 So back to March 2020 we go... Why not just give them all a booster? That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Heaven Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Ruh-roh! @CraigSMorgan Quote Hearing that the Covid bug has hit the Coyotes. Lawson Crouse, Jay Beagle and some staff. More testing likely tomorrow. Obviously, there is some concern here. More info when I get it... Edited December 16, 2021 by Blue Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Agree on bailing on the Olympics. The last thing the league needs is 10 superstars in quarantine in China for two or more weeks. Moreover, with all of these games being cancelled, and more to come, we could use those two weeks for makeups. As it is, they may need to extend the regular season. The last thing this league needs is to go even further into the summer and not be able to get back to normal in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should not go to the olympics, and still take the break and shut down to stop the spread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I'm no expert... don't know the projected spread of this for the winter months, but if it's bad now, and they aren't going to the Olympics, they should shift the break to... now-ish. Let the players get home to families for the holidays. Or is there an outdoor game? Lol. They'll shut down after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karan Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Tavares and Kerfoot join protocol. Man, just pause the fucking season already. It's getting to be a huge disruption now with teams missing key players. Won't be long I guess before the Rangers start facing the same issue too.
