Who’s to say the next 2 years are any different What’s the next mutation? I think most of us thought this would be over by now . Major shutdown’s hurt a lot of people but are being done.

BigMouthBilliken Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Small time school making small time decisions. What an absolute travesty that only harms the student-athletes. If it’s one person isolate them and play on. Such an overreaction. But not surprising since Freddy P is at the helm Old guy, thatskablamo and billiken_roy like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you and many people are listening to the wrong predictions. If you listen to fear mongers expect to be peddled fear.

A lot of these people will get it and never know it. So they will continue to go to class and bars and spread it like wild fire. Are the players tested weekly? If so this is going to repeatedly happen because so many in that age group are Asymptomatic or show such mild symptoms they don’t isolate. something needs to be figured out besides cancelling games for a single positive test. i dont get the fear of asymptomatic. if there are folks without the vaccine or they have conditions that make them more succeptable to getting the virus, why shouldnt they shoulder all the responsibility to avoid the problem? Why did I get the shots if I have to continue to live in a bubble to save others that arent willing to protect themselves? like i said, i got the shots. I did my part. but I am totally against mandates and these overzealous conditions ruining my life by making the world so sterile and blah. I have almost died twice in the last decade (heart attack and cancer) so pardon me if i want to live my life to the fullest NOW. I have done everything my doctors told me to do to make myself better (lost weight, eat better, exercise, take my meds, see my doctors, etc) but now i am expected to walk around in a mask and not interact with the world. plus sadly the world is being kept from us (my world is the billikens thus my rant here.)

Now we will cancel a game even if everyone is feeling good...but that's the society we have created... billiken_roy likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder so many people are crippled by fear. The TV media has obviously decided that fear sells on COVID. If I was only watching the news on TV and not reading newspapers and actually reading the studies on omicron, I would be scared to death too.

slufan13 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 As I've said numerous times on this board, I'm pretty set on being overly safe and "trusting the science" especially since Covid has impacted my family directly from my 8 month old son to my 91 year old grandpa. But if pre-vaccine rules are going to be in place in a post-vaccine world, then you are not "trusting the science". Let's hope this is a one game pause and we just get some extra rest before A10 play A10Ref, BilliesBy40, rgbilliken and 1 other like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
