I'm sure Al has taken all shots and possible precautions. And still he and others continue to test positive. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that this Covid thing will never end. The shots themselves may need to be administered 4 times a year. Honestly, our futures may include the use of full glass-faced helmets with personal containers of oxygen by our sides.
Different strains will continue to develop, and more and more shots will need to be administered to a reluctant population... this as inflation continues to spike, along with gas prices, food prices, auto prices, and the stock market slowly collapsing.
I hope the day never comes when basketball will be the least of our concerns.
The vaccine is not a force field. It's like wearing long pants and a long-sleeve shirt with gloves while you pick poison ivy out of your garden.
You still might catch it, but it won't be as bad as if you were buck naked.
People need to stop being surprised when vaccinated people test positive. The fact that most of them aren't being hospitalized means it's working. The fact that most of those that are hospitalized aren't dying means it's working.
As for when it'll end, who knows. I have to get my Tetanus shot again soon as that runs it's course every 10 years. I imagine we may need to do the same thing with Covid in the future. Hopefully they have a five-year shot one day.
