No the point is you need to move on.

This is straight up fear mongering. No wonder why people dont want to do anything. 99.99% of the time your statement is simply not true and since covid has been around only a few months how do you know it's "life long" issues?

Mild symptoms can lead to life long issues.

You have no idea what exposed people went or are going through. Death or the ICU aren’t the only concerns. Maybe it was nothing, maybe their entire families had to quarantine for 2 weeks, maybe they will suffer long term health impacts, maybe businesses are impacted, etc. My sister had a so-called mild case, and it was brutal, scary and extremely disruptive to her family. A woman on my block had a mild case and she can barely walk a block 4 months later.

There are potential super spreader events happening everywhere for sports. Soccer, baseball, football, lacrosse, swimming, etc. Just going to the grocery store has potential. I’m not sure why hockey has become such a hot topic on this board- it’s really not a major outlier. I have no dog in this fight, if you want to play great, have a fun season. If you’re uncomfortable about it, take the season off. THe obsession over this, as it relates to hockey, is really weird.

Correct. And if you are so concerned about things keep your kids home forever but let us move on with our lives and having kids be kids.

Another 50 or so have something to do with hockey, hmmm that seems concrete. So it's about 7 people per hockey org contact traced to a maybe positive test.

Let's try it this way. 4692 people tested yesterday with 77 new cases. According to studies published in the Lancet, this would indicate most of those cases are either false positive or currently positive patients re-testing.

Much like the Maine hockey story which fizzled out, we will keep our eye on NH's numbers and see if this is real or not.

what?

False. Hockey is dangerous because it’s indoor and involves prolonged close contact without masks. Outdoor soccer with masks, grocery store with masks - totally different story.

No. Indoor maskless sports will have to stop.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Sorry - I'm trying to understand if this post is politically motivated or if you really are this unaware of disease physiology and medical science. You do understand that while Covid19 is new, understanding many kinds of long term organ damage is not, right? When you have scar tissue in your lungs, it doesn't matter that much in a big picture way whether that's from LUPUS or Covid19. Pulmonologists already know how it will impact the rest of your life. Similarly with kidney damage, etc. In cases where there is uncertainty, what I keep hearing about is shockingly worse than expected outcomes, not things like scar tissue miraculously healing. You get all that, right?

Yeah, this sounds like a crank. "We will keep our eyes..."? Who is we? PP, do you have a frog in your pocket?

Honestly, I don’t get the big deal about wearing a mask on the ice. My kid does it, works hard and is fine. Masks protect and help prevent outbreaks, which we all want because even if you aren’t all that concerned about the health of others, surely people understand that hockey outbreaks will lead to hockey being restricted, as in NH.

Our team wears masks during practice for the most part, but other teams aren’t wearing them in games.

But they were adult men willing to play ice hockey in FLorida in June. They could have caught Covid doing any of the number of other things they were probably doing. They weren't quarantining at home except for ice hockey games.

+1. People can make their own decisions about this.

Not really. If you know anything about the history of pandemics for the last 500 years, you that doesn't really work.
