Tidbits: Game Cancellations and Covid

[Minnewildsota]

Just cancel the entire world ....we as a species are too f***ing stupid to be allowed to exist. We need an asteroid.

That would never work. Bruce Willis is still alive

The league is doing everything possible to get the Wild to the Classic in one piece.

I honestly was in a better mood as I imagined a Texas sized rock hurtling toward the earth at 1.5% the speed of light. You had to ruin that for me reminding me that I’d be listening to Aerosmith and trying to decide if Liv Tyler was really hot or not all while Bruce Willis saved our Pejorative Slured smooth brained species from what we deserve. Thanks a lot

Minneapolis and St.Paul to require proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test for Restaurants, Bars, Entertainment venues etc (including Stadiums and Arenas - so this WILL affect Wild games).

Minneapolis, St. Paul to require vaccine proof to get into bars, restaurants

Minneapolis and St. Paul will require customers to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues, among the most aggressive steps the Twin Cities have taken to date to curb the spread of COVID-19, mayors from both cities announced Wednesday.

The new restrictions — which will apply to businesses where food or beverages are sold for on-site consumption — will go into effect for most businesses on Jan. 19. Patrons can provide either proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken under medical supervision within the last 72 hours. Booster shots are not required.

The requirement would apply to stadiums, movie theaters, bowling alleys, convention centers and other venues that serve food or drink. St. Paul's mandate will apply only to businesses that are licensed by the city.

Children under the age of 2 are exempted from the policy. Those between the ages of 2 and 5 — who have not yet gotten the green light from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to receive their shots — will be required to get tested.

"Our expectation is that the vast majority of businesses will comply, will participate and will see this as an opportunity to keep their business open, to keep their employees working and to keep our whole community moving forward together," St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said at the news conference.

Minneapolis, St. Paul to require vaccine proof to get into bars, restaurants

Despite the vaccine being seemingly ineffective against stopping the spread of the Omicron variant, vaccinated don’t need to provide a negative test? If I owned a bar, restaurant, or venue I’d tell the city to f*** off. Not their job to be the COVID police.

Nope. One or the other needed. Not both.

So now this is added to the already added mask mandate.

Attendance is going to drop quite heavily from this I’d imagine. I feel bad for the Xcel employees that are going to have to deal with all of this extra shit.

On the bright side, probably cheaper tickets available now.

Shocker that the rules make no sense.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

That negative test requirement for 2-5 year olds is going to go over really well…

 

[TaLoN]

According to Russo, it doesn't go into effect at the X until the 26th, so no January game is affected.



Of course the Strib is saying it does take effect prior to the game on the 22nd... so yeah...

Minneapolis, St. Paul sports venues will now require proof of vaccination or negative test

The new rules will go into effect on Jan. 19. The next night the University of Minnesota women's basketball team faces Iowa at Williams Arena at 7 p.m., the first game that would be impacted by the change.

Xcel Energy Center would be the first professional sports venue to enforce the new rules on Jan. 22 when the Wild face the Chicago Blackhawks in a Saturday night matchup. The Wild has had seven of its previous 12 matches postponed due to COVID-19 infections around the NHL.

Ok, clarity... 26th it is!

Mayor Carter Announces Proof of Vaccination or Negative Test Requirement for Licensed Businesses That Are Spaces of Public Accommodation in Saint Paul

The Executive Order will take effect on January 19, 2022 for non-ticketed events, and January 26 for ticketed events.

Questions and research

 

[TheSauceBoss]

Why would proof of vax matter at all after months of evidence showing the vaccine has no effect on contraction or transmission?

Ive spent my last dollar in the twin cities. No more. I love going to games at Target Field and the X along with concerts at the Armory but never again.

They won’t miss you.

 

[Prior]

Happy to keep the people away who can’t be bothered to care about others to have a functioning society.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I feel oppressed. Oppressed I tells ya.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Vaccines are a risk shift from older people to younger people.

Covid isnt going to go away is this how it will be every year??

All pandemics end, even if the virus doesn't go away... so no.

 

[Bazeek]

Well this thread was obviously a mistake on my part.

Discuss game cancellations in Wild General or Around the NHL. Leave the Covid talk on the Covid forum.
