But also sacrificing his own financial security (pretty sure there is a severance agreement) and public standing to do what is right for the team to potentially move forward.

Yep, time to close it down for a while, this new variant is an exponential spreader.  Luckily most reports say if you are fully vaccinated then you probably won't go to the hospital.
 
Shut. It. Down.

It's well past the point where it's ridiculous. Like 10% of the players in the league are on COVID lists right now.

Steve Yzerman has it right and echoes my thoughts ? don?t test double vaccinated players unless symptomatic.

Yup...Doc on hockey night pretty much said it's too early for it in the NHL but will get there.

Why does this make sense? 

Omicron seems to spread rapidly through vaccinated populations and hence the vaccinated are spreading it.  How will not testing help?

Do any of us who are double vaccinated go get tested if asymptomatic?

Yes.

I?m double vaccinated and boosted.  95+% of my colleagues at work at Princeton are fully vaxed.  Everyone is tested once a week (unvaccinated twice a week) regardless of the presence of symptoms.  My understanding is that you can be extremely infectious prior to having symptoms.

The point of testing is to slow down the spread, identifying folks before they have spread it to others, which can only be done by asymptomatic testing.  If you don?t do asymptomatic testing, it will be too late and everyone on the team will get it and everyone in their families will get it.
 
princedpw summed it up. Yzerman?s suggestion, while attractive to those who are tired of pandemic measures, would cripple and crush the healthcare system and subsequently society and economy.

Under those proposed conditions, an asymptomatic person could inadvertently pass it on to another asymptomatic person who visits an immunosuppressed loved one who gets boned because people didn?t bother checking. Multiply that by a bajillion because asymptomatic people being given license to return to normal is toothpaste that won?t go back in the tube and the virus will happily take the opportunity to mutate.

Thanks. Now I can't get that image out of my head.

For me the image is the immunosuppressed loved ones getting boned.

That?s more than 4 full rosters. Getting close to 5.
