Kinda bullshit that something like the

i readily admit im no where near smart enough to know all the ins and outs of covid and its transmission. i let other people who have dedicated their life's work to study it.

God, I fucking hate that I went to my son's wrestling tournament and there was a 5% mask rate despite a school district policy and a county indoor mask mandate.tragabigzanda wrote:God I fucking hate that we’ve all become armchair Covid experts.
He's vaccinated, masked, and sitting away from the crowds, but that gym is going to be an unmitigated public health pain in the ass come Friday. Poor county employees are going to be coming in on Christmas Eve to call families all over the state.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

The mandates here were such a joke. Certain retailers publicly disregarding them and no recourse brought to their owners.
- Tell coaches of visiting to not show up if they're teams won't mask.
- Tell people coming in the building or into the gym to put on their mask.
I wish the Governor would require vaccination for student athletes, but absent that, I'd take those two pitiful attempts at safety that I listed above.

Re: Anybody want a Corona?
problem with this is omicron becomes contagious after 2-3 days, as opposed to previous strains taking more like 5-6 days. a negative test in past seven days won't catch plenty.spike wrote:Figured this would happen soon enough.
