If they completed last season they can finish this one. Omicron is more contagious but less severe for young adults. We have the therapeutic (pill regimen) now as well. Protocols are changing in some places, shortening the quarantine period, etc.
The season definitely should be OK to be completed.
I have no doubt they will finish the season. But the sporting integrity and level playing field will be gone.
It won’t be down to tactics. It will be down to luck and circumstance beyond our control.
It doesn’t feel like sport at the minute.
I remember in the past sometimes you would face a team with massive injury list, and that’s fair enough. It happens now and then. But when teams are missing 5/6/7 players and coaching staff and managers it becomes a bit of a joke. Especially as it seems to be getting worse.
Next winter is World Cup time. Can you imagine national teams having to go with weakened squads? It will be a joke then as well.
I’ll say what I keep on saying...
We need to stop concentrating on cases. Hospitalisation are down so the vaccines have done their bit.
Stop testing. If not, this is how it’s always going to be.
