2) There were still 726 COVID cases (262 players). I don’t remember any hospitalizations last year. Blame variants if you want but the vaccine isn’t preventing record spread of COVID. If it is preventing hospitalization then we need to get rid of the COVID protocol and let people play through their asymptomatic cases.

Where are you getting your statistics?
I see the current 7-day average for daily COVID cases in the US as 123k.
The peak was early January at about 250k daily cases.
Early September was the height of Delta Variant, which was about 163k daily cases.

In regards to daily deaths, the height was also back in late January at about 3350.
There was a peak in late September of around 2050.
We're currently averaging 1281 daily.

While I can see the argument for letting players choose to play if they aren't exhibiting symptoms, players aren't isolated just to each other. They go home to their families/friends. This is not only an effort to help protect players, but also families and friends.
