I think it is wise for the NBA to be so strict. But at the same time, if we are following the science, no one who is vaccinated is getting very sick from Omicron.
I get that it is early still, and yes there will be exceptions, and I may regret saying this, but we need to learn to live with this shit and not shut things down every time a new variant pops up.......unless the science proves otherwise. And so far it is saying the symptoms are mild....for those vaccinated. Sorry for those who can't get vaccinated.
I went to Christmas eve dinner in Malibu at a large restaurant, the place was packed, and only the servers were wearing masks. It was more crowded than it was supposed to be because the rain forced them to close down the tent area. But no one seemed very worried. I probably should have walked out but I was looking forward to it all month. It was a 90-minute dinner inside so yes I was/am a little worried, but we can't stop living, we just need to adapt. It is not going away anytime soon.
