The scary part is that we don’t know a lot about the variants but what I’ve seen is that they cause much worse symptoms for younger healthy people. Not good.

According to some numbers, people say 1.5x more likely to die and 2x more likely to end up in the hospital.
Also, there is some evidence that the current vaccines have limited effectiveness, although nothing conclusive at this point.
Honestly, I would be fine shutting the Flames down for the season. Even though there aren't cases that they are aware of, why risk it at this point just for our entertainment? I guess some of the players might disagree at least until they are mathematically eliminated, but they seem pretty tuned out anyway at this point.
