My feelings exactly. I treat this like a flu outbreak on a team or school system for that matter. It may happen and if it does deal with that game or school and move on.

Time to move on guys. Get vaxed if you want, don't if you don't... Live your life
While I can mostly agree with living your life, i don't agree with it being like the flu. My wife and 4 kids all got it (I didn't, my wife and I were both vaccinated), for 3 of the kids it was like a cold or flu, but my wife and oldest daughter were almost hospitalized, and if it weren't for my wife being a Nurse Practitioner, they would have been. But that isn't even really the point. The point is, here we are 3 months later and they both still have side effects of it. And my daughter is 12. My wife has sent many children and young adults to the hospital over it.

For me, whether you get vaxed or not is up to you. But the quarantine still needs to happen until we have meds that make it like the flu. That may be just around the corner, but it isn't here yet. Having said that, players should be tested when they are sick, and if it is positive, that player should be quarantined. I feel like we are beyond quarantining people who positive people come in contact with.

That’s not what I meant. I wasn’t making a medical comparison. I lost two friends and our music minister who wouldn’t get vaccinated is in the hospital. I just think with the vaccinations and treatment protocols we should be beyond wide spread panic and overreacting. Some are going to talk of shutting down a season. That’s dumb. Situation closures (like we see with flu outbreaks) are going to happen. I could have worded it differently
