Vaccinated people can still get infected, and if the symptoms aren't as bad, then great. But if someone shows up to the game with a negative test and somehow infects an vaccinated person, they should be fine. Isn't that the purpose of the vaccine?

That’s because even highly sensitive PCR tests can come back negative if you’re tested right after exposure, before the virus has built up to detectable levels, according to a study co-authored by Lauren Kucirka, MD, PhD, an epidemiologist and OB-GYN resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital. “Say you had lunch with a friend who was positive. Day one is the day after you had that lunch,” Kucirka says. “What we found was that if you are tested in the days immediately after exposure, the false negative rate is anywhere from 50% to 100%.” So just because you’ve tested negative doesn’t mean you’re not harboring the virus. The average onset of symptoms is five days post-exposure, and your peak infectiousness is two days before and one day after symptom onset, according to a study published in Nature Medicine.
