Read the new restrictions for players just now. I get that it's for safety and all, but the league is basically enforcing masks and distancing, plus no going out to eat or Christmas party; at least for us regular folk we can have smaller-scale gatherings.
It’s smart to be very cautious right now. Omicron is super contagious. Sure it presents with milder (more head cold) symptoms, but still smart to slow the spread best we can.
