The Bulls are 100% vaccinated, yet they had to postpone a weeks worth of games. The Bears have 14 guys out with COVID, assume most are vaccinated. They are positive because the new variants are more and more able to breakthrough the vaccination protections, which wane after six months or so. Boosters bring protections back to full strength.
Nearly all of the (young) guys do fine and are back in a week. However the time they are down with the virus (if they are not careful) they can spread it to anybody who can spread it to people who are vulnerable like the unvaccinated and older folks, people in rural areas who are more likely to believe the pandemic is political, and on to all parts of the world. But if they are responsible, isolate when they can, and wear masks properly, it won’t spread from them.
I live in rural midwestern area and there are a ton of people here who BELIEVE masks and the vaccines are not necessary or political. These are the same people who have every bed filled in every hospital for miles around being treated by the scientifically educated doctors and nurses who KNOW that vaccines and masks would have prevented the daily deaths in younger and younger populations that at the highest since the pandemic began.
my rambling two cents…
