If you are living in the bubble, you are not going to transmit to a family member and once you're out of the bubble, self isolate, get tested and take appropriate action if necessary.
Those who opt out for health reasons better live in self isolation until a vaccine is administered.

I agree- my thought is actually that these players may not wish to be separated from family members who could be in more jeopardy during this time in case those family members were to contract the virus or something while the player was away.
i.e. if Mrs. Brodie has to operate more in the community (and potentially increase her risk) because TJ can't be there to support her, that may weigh upon his decision.
There could be other players in this scenario, or they could just have fear for their playing futures, etc... The point i was trying to make is that there could be extremely relatable reasons for some players to opt out, but even if no reason is given we should refrain from judgement or commentary about those decisions.
