Outside of of the 3 or 4 people commenting here, this isn't a big deal and isn't a thing that anyone is dwelling o. Folks have moved on and are living their lives with nary a thought of this meet. |
| The venue and staff can only do so much. It would help if the coaches actually supervised their swimmers. It would help if the meet marshals actually did their jobs instead of focusing on their phones or walking away from their assigned positions to watch and/or record their children compete. It would help if the people visiting the venue acted like the rules still apply to them. Everybody needs to do their part to keep it safe. |
| We could start with the host club actually following the proposals they put forth in the meet sanction. They admitted far more swimmers than they applied for in their documents, thereby pushing the physical venue over capacity. At a minimum I hope Fairland refuses to rent to them again. |
My kid is now sick gee wonder how child caught a virus probably at this meet!! |
My DC was there all three days and was in the finals both Sat and Sun and is not sick so there's another data point. |
My kid was in the outdoor tent and had to sit on frozen ground. Now a kid who has not missed a day of school in three years has Flu-A |
Your DD hasn't even missed school for meet warmup? |
You can say that, but people I know are still talking about it. It was an absolute cluster. |
+1 |
+1. Maybe the NBD poster above is with SA. |
I had one kid out of four go down with flu-A at a different meet. It is spreading like wild fire and probably has everything to do with Thanksgiving - more than the frozen ground. Oddly, no one else in our house ended up sick, all vaccinated. |
You can’t get the flu virus from sitting on cold ground. |
She did her own research. |
*nods grimly* she always does her own research, lol. |
