I plan on it, just will take time to fully trust that this is, in fact, "over". And my Canucks masks will just be showing my support for my team, that's all. I kinda like them. I think most people will stop wearing masks when the numbers are there. If we are in August with everyone vaccinated who wants it. With just a handful of deaths per week across Canada, and everyone will want to know if they were vaccinated or not. That's when most people will go back to normal. For games next October, everyone should have both doses by then. So they could just need proof for entry. Masks when you are at your seat. I would feel very comfortable at games and will be going to the first one for sure. BUT will kids under 18 be allowed in??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already making semi solid plans to attend a game with some fellow fans from Canucks.com, but I think likely it will be a masks required game if they allow folks in in October. Maybe not if proof of vaccination instead. I will choose personally to wear a canucks mask though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the atmosphere and the view better. how much do those cost, i never been to a live game, just world juniors when they were here in Vic and it was a Sweden and Swiss game.

I can't wait for all the people who choose to wear masks to make it a social justice brigade against us who choose to live normally after this, and all of you know its coming. as someone who works outdoors I am dreading the summer. wearing one in the winter hasn't been too bad because its cold out but man, in the summer when its gets to be 30 degrees out its going to be hard to wear a mask all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will security spend the night dealing with that? Proof you are vaccinated at the door seems like it should be quick and easy. Next fall I think this will be a big topic. Where unvaccinated people can't go. 9 minutes ago, TNucks1 said: how much do those cost, i never been to a live game, just world juniors when they were here in Vic and it was a Sweden and Swiss game.

I bet its a proof of vaccination kind of system with "must have a mask on" being less stringently enforced for food and drink purposes, like masked to your seat, then you can relax. Tnucks1, I was at all those Victoria side WJC games, it was awesome. I live on the island and so going to a real Canucks live game is about the same cost if its in Vancouver for me as it is if it is them visiting Arizona. haha. Done both and the costs add up to about the same. I have managed to find Canucks tix for about a hundred though and a hotel on West Pender, about 6 blocks due north of the arena as the crow flies was under 100 bucks that night with a 25 dollar prepaid visa card as a special for booking online. Made my ticket and hotel and a hot dog about 200 dollars. That was the best i managed of about a trip per year for a decade now. I walk on the ferry and bus to the riverrock usually, haha. Fun but adds expense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero logic Yes, she can be a bit less exciting than a "Bure Breakaway" but sometimes science is not always exciting for the masses and those that are not educated enough to comprehend or appreciate basic science theories, hypothesis and principles. That's why God invented mouthpiece dictators like TRUMP for Conservative simpletons and the uneducated selfish idiots who like simple answers to Large extremely complicated problems (A.K.A. Fascism) because they have NO capacity, tolerance or patience for details, facts and others. Our good neighbors to the South can tell you all about what stupidity and ignorance has resulted in for them - after Approx One in every 325 living Adult Americans (Pre-Covid) will be dead by May because they believe it's a hoax or are too selfish to wear a mask to protect others. Those are the REAL FACTS and results of stupidity and selfishness and the fourth wave is just about to start for them down there. (Poor them!) Thankfully Most Normal Canadians are not as uninformed, gullible and selfish as our good neighbors to the south. I can't imagine living in such a whackjob society like the USA but of course there are always going to be a few of those "Flat-Earth / Area 51 Types" loose out there - even here in Canada - that live in the Alternate Universe and and don't care about facts and especially about others. Thankfully they are a very, very tiny minority here in Canada (Mostly in Alberta and out in the Hinterlands cut off from modern Civilization) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Airline industry is to be mimicked, expect a 20% to 30% increase in tickets once the Pandemic is behind us. Analysts are predicting that that is the increase in Airline tickets once things get back to "normal" just to recoup their losses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Once the elderly and vulnerable are vaccinated, it is time to go back to normal. People have to accept Covid is never going away and it’s like a flu on steroids. Most folks will be fine. There is no need to have everyone vaccinated.

You know how many people outside of long term care homes have died from it in Canada? Just over two hundred. A lot of fear mongering going on here and it’s working. People are so afraid of this that they will never be the same again about going out in public. The only thing that should be getting focused on is the long term care homes. Everything else should be up and running and surviving. I have friends and family around the world. None of this is correct. My wife and I know about 15 people who have died from Covid and only my grandfather was in a care home. Be careful and stay safe. Hopefully next year you all can get back to the games. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The families who have experienced a loss, some 22,679 in Canada alone, due to covid, you are in our hearts. ((wow your math says that 22,479 Canadians died of covid in just the care homes so far, wait that doesn't sound accurate at all.

Primal Optimist Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yeah, something like that ^ so 45% of 22679 is incredibly more than 200, which was my point, thank you for the link! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
