I think he could easily be safer at home if he is practicing the bubble lifestyle. At home, he would have way more control over the situation. There seems to be an assumption by some that Hamonic is gallivanting around as if everything is normal rather than living a bubble lifestyle. The NHL didn't invent this concept and I don't see how their system is better than what people could be practicing at home if their situation required it. Sure, the NHL is testing more, but testing like crazy is a moot point if you are truly physical distancing anyway. They have to test like crazy because they are not physically distancing the way that medical professionals have been recommending. The fact they need to test this much should be a warning sign for anyone that thinks there isn't a pretty big risk.
People also need to consider that even though his child recovered from her illness, we don't know any other medical details. A child that gets that sick could easily have a weaker immune system. If my child was in such a situation, I would do everything I could to be as close to 100% in control as I could.
As for what he decides to do in December, it is really hard to know what the situation will be then and it may be dependent on how this experiment goes. If the NHL is very successful with this attempt, I wouldn't blame Hamonic if he decides to play at that point. Not wanting to be a guinea pig at this point is different than deciding to play after the system is proven.
I think the mods around here do a fantastic job and show a lot of patience, I personally would have locked this thread already. Some of the comments have been embarrassing.
