I usually wait until the end of September. My thought is they may update it again a time or two before then.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I mentioned that to my pharmacist last year, when the vaccine was only 40% effective.

He told me, once a vaccine is produced for the season, it is not changed.

The more people that get vaccinated, the less strain there will be on resources available for Covid patients, and others.

Really enjoying the NBA
Its playoff season and its pretty exciting
The NBA is doing it right and showing everybody else how to do it in the age of the virus
All teams in one city, Orlando, and are all in a bubble.
Players have no freedom. Stuck on Disney property.
The bubble works
Its exactly why college football aint happening even though Trump and conservatives are pushing the SEC to proceed
Its not possible to operate a college team in a bubble.
The Pros, it might work but these are people trading freedom for a lot of money
How can you force unpaid college players to give up their freedom

Outside of the USA, sports can continue without a bubble.

Maybe it is just me, but is there anyone here that would go to a gym to workout if you had to wear a mask the entire time?


I would use your jock as a mask and wear it all 60min if they would just re-open the ice.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Dang man. I thought for sure one of your vehicles (boat or truck) held together by spit and twine had disintegrated on you leaving parts of you all over the landscape or underwater in Davy jones locker.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Why. Do you have the virus?
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
