It’s been widely reported this had nothing to do with a regular Covid protocol (team members testing positive or being contact traced) and was instead entirely preemptive because the variant was discovered elsewhere in the athletic department. But good to know you’re good on draconian measures against healthy young people who aren’t even being allowed to visit their own families.
Yep. Do what is necessary. We had a chance to do the right thing in this country, and we showed that we can’t even be bothered to give even the tiniest shit about our most vulnerable citizens. Time to force people to do the right thing via criminal laws, as far as I’m concerned.
And I don’t care if they’re young and healthy. More cases = more community spread = more hospitalizations and deaths and a bigger tax on our already strained health care system.
More cases = longer until businesses can reopen too, since that seems to matter more to some people than half a million deaths.
EDIT: more cases = more chances for mutation into a worse variant too.
