I think that is fair. I also think the NFL league mandate that all support positions (cameramen, press corps, officiating crews) be vaccinated or dissociated with the league until they become vaccinated.

As the Nolympics are showing, big-Money bread-and-circuses are already an alcohol-swabbed arm of the corporate public-health police-state, Labyrinthine rules as a virtue signalling display for following the ... uh ... 'science' of ''optionally mandatory'' vaccinations — as clear as mud.

Unlike previous virus infections and mutations, if someone has developed natural immunity and antibodies after recovering from the virus, they will still be vaccinated. An additional penalty kick of 50 PCR cycles for any unvaccinated holdouts, and off side-effects of the vaccine are not penalized. The AFL and NFL have now now merged into the GPL ... Guinea Pig-Skin League.

Meh ... I'd rather going fishing anyway. Oops, shouldn't have said that. Bluegill and bass will now be 'proven' to be vectors of transmission.

Not only would a team forfeit, but they won't be paid. And not only won't the team be paid, but the other team who's not at fault would also not be paid since no game was played.

So not only would the virus spreaders cost their teammates money, they'd also be costing the other team their game salaries

99.5% survival rate.

And it fills hospitals to the brim - there's no way around that

People may survive, but it fills hospitals and hospital workers to over-capacity. Not only does that cost unnecessary deaths to soar, but it creates a domino effect - hospital workers get over-stressed, other hospital surgeries have to be postponed because there's no available room and workers in the schedule, etc.

There's no way around that problem of physics - matter cannot be created out of nothing - ya can't just magically make more rooms and workers for hospitals

Unless somebody can come up with a solution to address the laws of physics, hospitals will continue to get filled up with Covid cases

That's why people don't want to spread the virus - come up with a hospital solution first, then we can talk about the rest
