What's it like in the US? Are sporting events being cancelled? What do they do if a few players get it?

NHL started postponing, now shutdown for a week. NBA practically signing players off the street just to play. NFL has had their share, but making it work.
I'm expecting it to get worse.

Im with all you boys about the ridiculousness of the situation, were just not going back.
I'm just saying the Government and the Business big wigs thought this was the right path, and now there is no backwards step, it'll be to prevalent for bubbles, it's to loose for containment, testing will become personalised (even though RAS kits are starting to become a stortage item) which mean people won't do it, which mean thing will become more prevalent.
Postponements will be the only way to fight it.

Don't worry - we have a Lieutenant General in charge of logistics. I'm sure he has everything under control. We apparently have 20 mill doses 'in country' - he has just needed to set up a new task force for find out where 'in country' they are'. I'm sure he has ordered enough tests!! Balls up from beginning to end.

What a bummer .... family down from the New England area.... had all four coming to both games.... even inspired one of the blokes to start his own team when he got back home....

Still got my boots and pads somewhere ... years of experience could be brought as well.... puts up hand for the holding DM.... the number 6.... tad to many grams to play the box to box 8....

9 games postponed in 10 days last I heard

That's so wierd. Literally nothing about postponements on r/NBA. But I'm nothing more than a casual

But yeah seems you're right.

Wonder what the policy and instructions are within our playing group.

As Cy, Dan Hall, and others often share apartments together. Will we need to look at seperate accommodation to ensure we minimise player outages.

And common spaces during work like changing rooms, video sesh.
Have to get the plastic chairs social distanced and an outdoor projector ?

Know so many people being pinged as close contacts now and some being positive where as didn’t know anyone for 18 months. It is a very different landscape now.

definitely feels a lot closer to home now. Another year about to start with this shit hanging over us, it’s exhausting.

England won't agree to being isolated for 7 days if the same thing happens again

England have to keep 1 squad healthy and somewhat bubbled away abroad. It’s a much easier task than a league players from 12 teams and their families moving amongst their community.

It might be easier but they won't agree to it.

As disappointing as it is to not have a game, a bit happy because I was driving back to Melbourne form Wagga today. P+ not having any ability for watching delayed is killing my aleague viewership. Very disappointed that the NYE game will most likely be called off, was looking forward to watching it with my family in Tassie on the day. F in the comments.

From a business perspective the worst thing that was done was relaxing the rules as Omicron hit. People have voted with their feet. Boxing Days sales crowds down 80%. The government said we will do nothing - show some personal responsibility so people did exactly that.

In previous waves HCW tests were prioritised as they were needed to work. This time my daughter waited 95 hours. We have had a 200% increase in hospitalisations in 7 days and over a 250% increase in ICU in 7 days.

A better 'business perspective' would have been to keep in place minor inconvenience public health measures. Now people see the government have essentially given up on their responsibilities and transparent reporting and they are voting with there feet and staying away in droves. People don't like being told what to do - but they do want proper information to make their decisions on.

What we have now is poor public health policy and poor economic policy.

Thoroughly agree on all counts. Farcical and absolutely craven leadership imo. Our politicians are too compromised by their own party politics and pursuit of power to take even the most self evident actions.

And now, as a multiple business owner myself who's had to work very hard to stay open and weather the covid storms — and help other businesses as well — I just can't see how many businesses will be able to even run if you have to isolate for seven days every time there's a close contact. Our businesses can actually function better in a lockdown than this current mess. I have two staff in isolation and two more waiting on PCR results as to whether they will be close contacts. And yesterday they couldn't even get a test and were turned away after waiting for 3 hours in a queue. And the numbers are only going one way.

And NOW, I can't even watch the f**king Mariners. Perrottet is worse than a fool.

Got wifey to buy some really shit hotdogs and the most stale buns she could find and watching WUN v MV match on P+ replay. It's not the same but it's prevented me sulking too much!

Still surviving on Christmas leftovers here. That and six beers, four wines and watching another shit Van Egmond display is keeping me satisfied.

Did she make you queue for them in the kitchen, so that you missed the goals?

No but i had to pay $1 for each squeeze of sauce! The beer is also inauthentic, Feral Biggie Juice.

Incidentally this game is an absolute Masterclass in commentating... the shittest bogan commentator teamed up with the most eloquent pro. Can you guess which is which?! Obviously the shit one should obviously be obvious!
