It seems that the easiest and most profitable course of action would be to just cancel/reschedule 10-14 days worth of games for each team it goes through, and continue on.
It's more anecdotal proof the vaccine works. More proof that it is a life saver and that it prevents serious negative outcomes.
Further to that, I don't think fan attendance should be restricted either. You need to be vaccinated to attend games. Any person, with any deductive reasoning ability can see that the vaccine works. It is time to leave the minority that choose to remain unvaccinated behind. It is what they have chosen; so be it. The 85% majority should no longer keep paying the price to protect them. Refuse them ICU care if need be. And I say this with almost my entire extended family choosing to remain unvaccinated  |
I concur with this 100% As someone who works in the international travel sales business, I've felt the effects of this pandemic quite significantly.
What's frustrating to me of late is that many countries had measures in place to keep tourists and locals safe, req'd proof of being fully vaccinated, negative PCR test before leaving home, in some cases a rapid test on arrival, then a PCR test done before starting the journey home. Despite all these safety checks and balances, Omicron has caused for even more measures and some closed borders, once again. Knee jerk reaction to something that existing measures were already in place for.
Point being, people who follow the measures to partake in society safely should be able to continue doing so. Otherwise this becomes a broken record playing the never ending story. Omicron is certainly not the last 'variant of concern' with covid-19 so how could anyone believe that any other variants be treated any differently?
