Vaccine

You can't make this up but it's 100% true. A friend of friend got whacked from her nurse job because of the mandates Nov 15th, 2021. She was called by old boss asking if she would like her job back and if she can work Christmas week and New Years week for double pay because the one's WHO obeyed to keep job are now sick and can't work and their way under staffed. You seriously can;t make this up. She told them to buzz off and she already has a new job starting Jan 3rd, 2022.

Any thoughts on whether Omicron surging cases ( although evidence so far indicates it has mild symptoms ) will impact High School soccer in the next few weeks?

And for those who will comment that this isn’t a major doomsday subject and I agree it isn’t, this is a soccer forum and I’m curious about the potential impact on HS soccer .

My bet is most teams will lose several players in early January. Not all at once, and most will be asymptomatic, but they'll each be out for 5 days.

Assuming the teams each have a deep bench, schedules should be more or less intact.

If it gets bad, you may also have some schools which extend winter break a week or two.

An actual soccer question on a soccer forum? How dare you! ;).

In CA the cases are still relatively low. We haven't seen the surge due to Omicron yet. I'd guess that the rules for your local public schools will apply to the local soccer teams. That's probably bad news at some point for LA County and Santa Clara County but less so elsewhere. I'd agree with @dad4 about the general loss of players due to a positive test - pretty much an extension of what we are seeing with professional and collegiate sports.

I prepped my player to prepare for the worse. Omicron will cancel all games like UCLA had to do. Or even worse, no booster=no play. We hope for the best that all the girls can finish what they started. I hope better minds will leads us out of this mess. One can only hope this awful nightmare will soon end for kids sakes.
 
Don't take the college comparison too far. Colleges have it worse.

Unless your kid goes to boarding school, you don't have an athletic dorm outbreak making sure the cases all arrive the same weekend.

High schools should have their cases a little more spread out. All the same month instead of all the same week.

Looks like the Chicago teachers union is trying to force them to go remote (notwithstanding the Biden admin's missive that schools should not be shutting down)

I hope the tide is turning on closing schools. Both the NY health commissioner and mayor elect Adams are unequivocal about not closing schools. Adams said that kids are safer in school and the commish said that interrupting education is worse than Covid. Kudos to them for exercising common sense which isnt so common these days.

Hey Dad, stop drinking the Kool Aid bro. Way too much for you. I feel for you today unlike other days where I let myself get trigged by your red lips.

Entire teams had games scratched for the football season up and down California not just because a few players were sick but the entire team was exposed during practice. At the early part of the season when the wave was still "high" in SoCal, there were a moderate amount of disruptions to the football schedule. I know the CDC guidance has been tweaked, but have the sports quarantine rules in California changed?

Wow....public health is deliberately distorting tiny numbers to scare pediatricians and parents into child vaccination....you really can't take at face value anything these people say.

Pediatric hospitalizations up 395% in NYC amid COVID-19 surge

New York State reported a "striking increase" in new hospital admissions for children as pediatric COVID cases in the U.S. continue to rise.

The truth is all indications are that omicron is not more severe in children.

Omicron Is Not More Severe for Children, Despite Rising Hospitalizations (Published 2021)

More children are being treated for Covid, but a combination of factors, including low vaccination rates, most likely explains the increase.

So predictable. No one is listening to this type of reporting. The train has left the station. Maybe they would be more credible if they reported all pediatric emergencies throughout the year (RSV comes to mind in certain parts of the country this past summer).

Or maybe report on the pandemic of covid +, a-symptomatic people clogging up ER rooms across the country - scared for their life that they are sent home with zpack and prednisone.

I have it on good authority that kids that age don't get the disease. (Unless you ddon't consider posters friendly to you in this thread to be a good authority.)

Even Newsweek, the long-time 9th pup of the 8-nipple bitch that is current news reporting, labels it as opinion.
