If you had small children with health issues, you would understand. If you don't, I can see not understanding, or being more inclined to casually dismiss that risk.
First of all the players that tested positive came to camp with the virus. Having consistent testing going forward and there will be minimal new cases.

Second, the players arent travelling home between games, if he does contract the virus he will be tested and quarantined before going home.

Third, I have 3 young kids of my own. And i am not worried one bit about this scamdemic flu.

So many deaths and peoples lives that have been changed forever in horrific ways and here you are calling it a "scamdemic flu".

And now I know I can safely ignore your opinion about pretty much everything

Is that what we would expect in among the general population? It seems high to me, but I am not sure.
It's not uncommon for a high percentage in small groups because of how it spreads. It's like how Brooks became a hot spot for the illness in AB

572,000 DEATHS and millions with long term side effects, with no end in sight, and you’re labeling COVID a scam ?

Hope your kids have an intelligent mother.

Isn't constant testing and being in a bubble with others who are constantly tested safer than not being tested?

I agree there is a non zero chance that players could bring the virus home if the tests are not accurate. Compare that to the risk of living at home, getting groceries, takeout occasionally, pumping gas etc and never being tested unless you display symptoms.

The positive tests you are seeing from NHL players have all occurred while living outside this "bubble". Let's compare to the positive testing rates while inside it.

True, but these players are not following social distancing rules/masking rules/isolation rules from each other, the same way Hamonic can while he is at home. The risk becomes different in such a situation.

Lol thanks. They will be alright though. They are healthy.

Sounds like they will be back in school this fall. Full time. Why is that? Why is it that all these rules are contradicting and make ZERO sense. You sir are the idiot. Enjoy being a brainwashed plug. Looking like a ###### wearing your mask in your car.
