UConn considering proof of COVID vaccination, reduced capacity: ‘There is a level of concern because of the trends’

[calamity17]

So no other teams in the country have capacity restrictions while we decide to go and implement one? So much for home court advantage.

Given the state's Covid numbers, It seems like UConn is trying to be proactive to keep people as safe and healthy as possible when showing up to an indoor event with 10-15,000 screaming people, at least that's what I got out of reading quickly through that article. If that is what they come up with, then Im fine with that.

What's the difference of having 10-15,000 screaming people opposed to 5-8,000 screaming people. If they (Big East) are worried about spreading the virus than don't have fans. Go back to the bubble. Total different circumstance than over a year ago. The majority of the people have been vaccinated and now with boosters to go with it.

Good! About time! No reason why anyone without a legit reason is not vaccinated at this point!

The vaccine don’t work. That is obvious at this point. These aren’t breakthrough cases. The vaccine is ineffective. Pfizer made Billions off of a lie. Stay tuned to learn about devastating long term effects.

I keep making this point but it is ignored: the official data 20211228_OS_Daily_Omicron_Overview.pdf coming out of the UK (who is ahead of us in the variant) shows that the death rate is at a level similar to the flu. This is not delta or the original strain of COVID. This is exactly what happened with the Spanish flu: it kept mutating until it became the regular flu.

I hope not. A healthy discussion needs to be had and the school needs to know the fans won’t tolerate the passports and restrictions

I'm all for a healthy discussion but the school also should know that a vaccine mandate is the only way some of us are showing up

I agree, none of this is being said to belittle anyone. It's probably the same conversations that are occurring right now within the athletic department/state/board of trustees. Obviously the people that have to make these decisions know the pluses and minuses that come with whatever decisions they go with.

OfIf you’re vaccinated, then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about and have no need for passports and mandates

I'm guessing they don't want to contribute to a wave of unvaccinated flooding the hospitals. Early returns seem to indicate at least 20:1 in the ICU's are unvaxxed but I could be marginally off. I'd like to think we care about our hospital workers and first responders who have taken a beating. If they are wrong they can change it back.

I’m sure the school cares about this boneyard thread

It's no where near 20:1 anymore. Closer to 2:1 and in the UK where omicron is further along the majority being hospitalized with omicron are vaccinated.

This strand is far less potent. So while numbers are way up, and even hitting record numbers, hospitalizations are stagnant or going down in a lot of places.

Nice. In two hours this thread turns into a debate on vaccines, abortion, and the pope.

I undeleted some of the replies so y'all can see who the morons are.


If you want to debate vaccines or Covid policy, use the thread I started in the suggestions, comments, etc. board. It's not indexed by search engines, so I don't really care.

Vaccines

Go ahead, let's see how stupid you really are. Politics, abortion and religion are off limits.
