As a practical matter if omicron starts making its rounds and lots of saunders get infected that will include athletes. So they will be unable to play under the rules until they meet protocol requirements and that may cause some games to be postponed or cancelled. It's already happening in the NBA and NHL.
I am not in favor of shutting things down but if this new variant is as contagious as some believe it will be, schools will have to shut down as their staff will also be catching it (talking about PK-grade 12). I think other parts of society can continue on. Those of us who are older or more vulnerable will be more careful. I know I attended a basketball game in Orlando about a month ago. I would not do that now. Everyone's choice.
