Time for Covid pauses to become a thing of the past. Young healthy college athletes are at such extremely low risk from Covid it should be of no more concern for them than the flu. Virtually everyone in the general population who is at risk and was willing to be vaxed has been vaxed. The unvaxed can take their chances-- there is no moral obligation to protect those who don't want to be protected by restricting the activities of the young and healthy.

Everyone is at risk for this virus, young and healthy people included.

VCU now has an open date, because they were supposed to play the nitters and the nitters have had a bunch of people test positive.

Pitt would lose to the Seton Hall cheerleaders

When hospital beds fill up, you shouldn't just throw up your hands. I don't know if you have any relatives who work in hospitals, but it's a nightmare right now. Staff hanging on by a thread, constant overtime, emergency room waits for hours, and forget having any sort of non-emergency procedure. New Hampshire (GOP Governor fwiw) and Maine called in the national guard to help.

I'm not saying the teams can't play, the players will almost definitely be fine if they want to play. But you might need to start doing some stuff at the arenas, like requiring a vaccine passport at the door or even having a pause on in person fans until hospital beds fall below 90% capacity.

Ohio called up 1000 national guardsmen today. In the stories on the decision it was noted that more than nine out of every ten people currently in the hospital for the virus in Ohio are unvaccinated.

I don't know why we have to continue to alter society for morons. If you're vaccinated, the pandemic is over, well, if you're 70ish or older, you still should be somewhat careful but still a very low risk of death if you're vaxxed.

I'm so tired of Covid. I totally wished we'd go full tilt into mandating the showing of vaccine cards in all aspects of society. Personal Freedom/schmeedom. I'm not saying you have to be vaxxed but if you want to go to Wal-Mart, go to the grocery store, go to a ballgame, etc, show your card.

Last night I read an article that said this year’s flu vaccine was a miss. The prevalent strain is not what the vax targeted. Should still help in terms of lessening severity/death but the next few months could be something in some places.

As far as this new variant I saw a chart earlier from South Africa cases. As steeply as Omicron climbed its declining just as steeply. Said they’re missing something but don’t know what yet. Possibly undercounted due to lessened severity.

Ahhh I mostly agree. I'm definitely tired of COVID and I'd support more mandates in public gathering places.

But I disagree, as frustrating as it is to even type out, that it's "over" for us vaccinated folks. For deaths, mostly true. But some of my friends long COVID symptoms that are scary and studies are showing this is true of like 30-40-50% of people. A few I know "just" can't smell or taste five months later, but two have had basically a foggy brain and no one knows how it ends. Ive been at work almost the whole pandemic, my kids are both back at large schools like almost everyone, and I wasn't really worrying until the last few weeks. Now I'm wondering if I should or shouldn't go to Pitt basketball game (insert attendance jokes), martial arts classes, restaurants.
