Eating, drinking, shouting and singing, what did they expect? Vaccines work, but they are not 100% at reducing infection. It's designed to prevent severe disease and does it well, and still does it well despite what the variant of the month is. Also, does Rogers Arena allow unvaccinated children to enter? I suspect they do, but don't know the policy. No rapid test requirements for unvaccinated? I plan to attend the Kracken game this month, if it is not postponed. Will wear my N95 and not take it off. I understand beer sales are important source of revenue. But that is how I assess the risk. Will reconsider taking my 70+ parents there. I was in our post office yesterday and two women entered without masks, at different times, and both were served. Go figure. Americans have had 100.000's of thousands at outdoor football games since last year and deaths are not sky rocketing. People see that on TV and get careless. We have our 2 shots and will get the booster next week. We were at a Elks game in Cranbrook 3 weeks ago. Most everyone had masks on. If it means I get to go to a game I will wear a mask. Hoping the Canucks caught this outbreak quickly enough. Losing even 1 player on the d-core is trouble.

I get it, people are catching it, but from the sounds of it it's basically just a cold for fully vaccinated people. Shut everything down for the unvaccinated, but not for everyone else. We can't handle another economic crisis, especially when people are getting mild colds. /rant Yeah. Well, if the unvaccinated are shut out, there will be more protests like before. Just heard the news on the radio about cases in the NHL. This is crazy. Are we going back to the season where fans aren't allowed into the buildings, and there is no hockey at all? Sucks hockey wise, but I understand it, if it's the safe thing to do for players involved. This could end careers (look what's happened to Sutter...his career might. be over). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh. I didn't understand what you meant. Thought you were saying Omicron doesn't kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a 2 - 3 year problem, we're going to be dealing with this for 10 - 12 years at least. Spanish flu was done in 2-3 years. And it was the same pattern- at the beginning it was a highly deadly virus that mutated to a flu. Hopefully, the same will be with covid. At least the early reports on this new variant suggest that it is a mild version, with low rate of hospitalization 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my statement prior was we (the medical profession) don't know yet the seriousness of the illness it causes yet. In fact the other statement I made was that this appears to be following the more natural course of a virus in the pandemic in that it looks like is more likely more transmissive and less deadly. So don't lump my statements into a collective, I am speaking for myself as a physician and don't misrepresent what I say please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 With Sutter still bad from long haul symptoms. I obviously hate hearing any of our players might be infected. At least they are all vaxxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they sequence a new variant, it's already spread around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they'll shut it all down and not allow fans simply because people are getting sick, when they're not getting deathly ill like people were prior to the vaccines. Sutter is feeling what he is because the team got super sick last year being unvaccinated. Will the NHL take extra precautions? Likely, yes. But there's a good chance it won't be extreme like seasons prior. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they blame the unvaccinated if they aren't allowed near the players or the arenas? You can't watch a game in Abbotsford without a passport. Something deeper going on here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowey would be the one with most NHL experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
