Big Ten COVID Cancellation Policy

[Huskergod84]

You do raise a good point.

But I have some questions for you.

Delta Airlines just issued a new policy that requires their non vaccinated employees pay an additional $200 per month for their healthcare insurance. Do you agree that is reasonable?

To put this in a football context.
- Would you be happier if you knew the person next to you at the game had been vaccinated? Or would it not matter at all?

- Will you be ticked off if Nebraska has to forfeit a game this year because one of the 10% of the un-vaccinated part of the team introduces Covid to the team?

Will you be ticked off if its one of the 90% of vaccinated players that exposes the team?

The perfect ham sandwich is hot, with Swiss cheese. Someone try to dissuade me!

No, I must disagree.

I make this amazing whole wheat sourdough bread. Fresh sliced with multiple slices of ham, baby swiss cheese, lettuce and my whole grown slicer tomatoes. Doesn't get any better!

 

[Uenth]

I can't believe we have people that think ham sandwiches should be hot. Unbelievable!!!
Thick cut honey ham - cold - with mustard. That's it.

You almost got it correct. Miracle whip is best -- mustard is just plain gross. Black forest ham is much better than honey ham.

So you're saying it DOESNT make sense to test people who are vaccinated?

No, I don't think that is what he is saying.

Hot ham and cheese, on grilled or not grilled? Add a tomato to grill with it? Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

Yes but I would find it unusual. They test the unvaccinated players weekly but they don't test those that are vaccinated.

In other words, it's like don;t ask don't tell.

So how would you know that a vaccinated player has covid?

I think testing confirms it. Don't know that for sure, just my guess.

We have lost our ever loving minds if we think it's necessary to regularly test a vaccinated person that has no symptoms for the virus they are vaccinated against.

If they get sick, test them. It really is that simple.

1. No this is not reasonable. It is highly coercive.
2. Not a bit.
3. I would only be angry about an unnecessary policy.

Wouldn't that policy work for a non-vaccinated person also?

 

[NUinNC]

Yes but there is a requirement to test all un-vaccinated players, weekly.

You don't have to get the vaccination. But you are required to prove that you remain un-infected.

What a nice pleasant way to say that those who disagree with you on this issue should lose their ability to make out a livelihood.

I'll attempt to make one, non-political response and then leave the topic alone.

1. We've been suffering through a deadly pandemic from which over a half-a-million Americans have died.
2. Scientists developed vaccines which help against the spread and are 90+% effective in avoiding hospitalization and death.
3. We've recently learned that the vaccines' ability to help stop the spread diminishes over time -- but even at nine-plus months, they are significantly more effective than the alternative: not being vaccinated at all.
4. When it comes to a contagious, viral disease, this isn't about individual rights, it's about communities of people banding together to help families get through it unscathed. It's like that old proverb, one bad apple can spoil the whole barrel.

As I said in an earlier post, vaccines have been part of the American Culture for more than six decades. Prior to the debunked 'they cause autism' internet nonsense, they were universally respected as a necessary way an advanced society protects the public health. And they still are. That's all I'm going to say on the subject.

GBR!

Well even the vaccinated can still catch and spread the virus. Not sure how you would know unless they were sick and got tested then.

So then really the only people who should be afraid are the unvaccinated. I mean if you can still get it but its basiclly the flu why are you so worried? If the only people who are going to die from it are the unvaccinated eventually they will be gone and only vaccinated people will be around. So its those people taking the risk right? If they are willing to take the risk why do I care?

The BIG cancellation policy is pretty straightforward. It's probably been hashed-out enough.

We'll go ahead and shut 'er down. Moths and flames and all that...
