being vaccinated doesn't necessarily immune you from getting covid, but it substantially reduces the chances of having any complications and having to go to the hospital....

15 x more chance of catching it if you're not vaccinated

a 2 month-old baby just died from covid at Sainte-Justine... it feels like we'll never see the end of this.

Didn't they say these shots were 90 some percent effective?

That's 40 some..

at first yes, but it goes down with time, that's why a 3rd shot is now recommended.
plus there's the new omicron or whatever its name is

well if there are around 1,000 players in total in the league, that means technically that around 100 players will still get infected...

meh, not sure you can do that math. they live together, shower together, travel together... it's not like you and me or a normal population.
there's 60 players now I think who caught it. this number should increase in the next few days.

Again, remembering math was one of those things that kept me from University, with a 40 some percentage of effectiveness rate with a 1000 players, that's 500 and some infected..

oh I know, just speaking if you use direct proportional numbers, but you're right, in this case the 90% effectiveness can be more or less applied here.

I was going with the 90% effectiveness, not sure where the 40 comes from...

and so it begins. CGY COL and FLA all shut down till the 27th.

Am I ever going to get a (frank)ing goalie game this week?

Do these people even think about my pool before making these decisions?

Seriously!

well, that's not surprising Pete. 90% of the people are vaccinated, so of course a large number of new cases will be among them. the important stats is that people who have to go to the hospital for complications, these are people who were NOT vaccinated. in large parts.

More than half of the new cases (2,356) were found in people who had been double-vaccinated more than seven days prior.

I don't think that because half of those cases were double-vaxxed it automatically means the effectiveness is now at 40% though...
