Mild symptoms can lead to life long issues.

Long island wedding super spreader 37 people out of 80 now have it.

Rose Garden

ACB children's school. Her fault.... She couldn't wear a mask neither could they brought it back to school great human.

What is troubling about this to me, as a hockey parent, is that people on the other team tested positive. So transmission cannot be fully explained away by time in the locker room (locker rooms aren’t open in our area rinks); exposure must have come through on ice play.

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

I didn't read where anybody was hospitalized or ill beyond mild symptoms.

Yes, let's take a look at the NH case. 117 people were contact traced but not confirmed positive tests amongst 23 organizations. That's about 5 per org of just contact traced. 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.

This study may be from June but the facts remain. Anything indoor without masks and with heavy exertion has the potential to be a problem. If you Google youth hockey Covid there are multiple stories just from the last week. Including NH which has shut down all the rinks for at least 2 weeks to look into the problem and see if there are safe solutions.

Locally I know of two MoCo teams with cases this week. Whether it spread thought the teams is unclear yet ...

Florida, in June, and adult men so irresponsible that they are playing ice hockey. Honestly, they could have caught it anywhere.

wasn't there a story about a youth hockey coach who died of covid and there was some hockey-related breakout going on...and while he was sick they took their kid to swim lessons?

This "June story" is why COVID spread across FL and the South over the summer. Also this "June story" demonstrates something about the nature of the virus that has not changed over the succeeding months: that it can be extremely contagious in crowded indoor settings, and that "superspreader" events triggered by asymptomatic/mildly sick people is a huge factor in how it spreads.

Still happening in New England, I’ve seen it in the news lately.

The point is the sport is still played the same way with contact regardless if it’s June or November.

Uh, June story. Move along.

This is why I don’t understand why they don’t require masks in hockey.

14 of 22 players infected by 1 pre-symptomatic player at a men's game in Tampa, Florida in June. Paper published yesterday in CDC's MMWR. Likely has implications beyond just hockey for indoor sports.
