Testing, testing, testing. However, the vaccine has introduced a twist and a turn to who should get tested and how often. If they're going to forfeit games, then they might as well go back to what they were doing last season until they can figure out if people who are vaccinated but test positive are actually infectious.

And what about all the players (and regular folks) who have already had covid?  Victims of SARS-COV-1, the outbreak in 2003, continued to produce anti-bodies at least 12 years after infection.

SARS-COV-2 infections continue to produce antibodies in the relatively short time available to study the post-infection immune behaviour.

Anyways, if your kid gets chickenpox then your doctor is unlikely to recommend they also get the chickenpox vaccine.  It seems the panic over covid, a virus with relatively minor symptoms compared to most of the bugs we have created vaccines for, is a bit out of proportion.
