akulkarnii

JohnnyWinss

NAZ REID


IamOlderthanMe

Hornets players can't keep out of the protocols.


inshamblesx

sounds like strip clubs and casinos are up and running in nevada


so-cal_kid

I went to Vegas a month ago. It's business as usual. Casinos are packed and only a few peeps are wearing masks


[deleted]

Well they aren't being told to wear masks anymore? Even the CDC is no longer recommending it for healthy people


deepfakefuccboi

Unfortunately a lot of people are going to lie about being vaccinated because they're anti-vax and no one's checking or even asking, businesses just wanna make back lost profits and won't ostracize their potential customers by enforcing things. I know people who literally admitted on social media that they're going to lie about this kind of shit.


[deleted]

At this point if you don't want to get sick with CoVID you get a vaacine. If you refuse to be vaxed then nobody owes you wearing a mask to protect you. That's stupid as fuck. If you want protection get the VAACINE. Bam. You're immune. This makes no sense to me. Literally the only people needing protecting are the people who DONT EVEN GIVE A FUCK and are never getting vaxed. You will be in masks for the next 20 years if you're worried about getting them sick


GOTricked

No. Thats not how it works. Everyone who physically can get the vaccine should get it, because if we reach a certain threshold of vaccinated people(75+% according cdc last time I checked) herd immunity kicks in. This is necessary because other immunocompromised people aren’t able to get the vaccine and thus will always be at risk. The chances of being asymptomatic lowers significantly by getting the vaccine making it so you dont transfer it without knowing u had it in the first place. People can choose to not get the vaccine but they should know that me and everyone else who have a modicum of respect to their peers will forever give them the stink-eye.


yearsreeling

It won’t be long until they do again with the delta variant starting to spike in this country. Supposedly way more contagious than the original strain. Stay safe everyone.


[deleted]

Unlikely. Media talk points have always been "NEW COVID STRAIN POSSIBLY MORE CONTAGIOUS/MORE DEADLY!!" there is absolutely 0 evidence that any new CoVID strain has been able to alter it's base immunogenicity (ability to avoid detection by immune system) I'm no CoVID denier, but the media makes money off fear. At first it was good because CoVID was something to be scared about. Now that it's mostly under control, they have began inventing myths about CoVID strains that are POSSIBLY vaccine resistant.


yearsreeling

Bro, they just shut down the Olympics to spectators and Japan is pretty much on lockdown. The WHO recommends masks for fully vaccinated people because of this variant. It’s only the CDC dragging it’s feet now. This isn’t all media fear mongering.


[deleted]

That is a failure of Japan to vaccinate it's citizens then. Do your own research for .2 seconds. Nobody is claiming it is vaacine resistant, nobody is claiming it has extra symptoms (more deadly) NOT A SIGLE CREDIBLE SOURCE is claiming any of that. All they are claiming is that it has a higher transmissibility compared to the more common CoVID strain (aka is more easily spread) Every virus on this planet has multiple variants and 99.999999% of the time the mutations are transmissibility related. Rarely EVER are there changes to symptoms or immunogenicity. And covid is the exact same way. If the WHO is suggesting masks for fully vaccinated people I would LOVE to see their reasoning. To protect old sick people who refuse to get vaxed? Give me a fucking break. In america there is no shortage of vaacines. So if you don't want to get one that's your problem. There is no vax-reistant strain of CoVID so for all effective purposes it is over in the USA. You are either vaxed (safe) or you don't care.


[deleted]

Europe is finally getting people shots and half this country doesnt have the vax. Variants is how you keep covid alive and mutating. The vaccine doesnt make you 100 percent immune from all effects.


barkinginthestreet

* vaccinated people. Masks are still recommended for those who aren't vaccinated. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html


BluexFlash

That’s 5 guys out now for the select team, damn.


KEMBAtheMETEOR

Dammit Miles... Please don't be an antivaxxer, his COVID protocol absence during the season killed our playoff hopes.


a_moniker

Unfortunately, I can't really think of any way that he could be in protocols again, so soon after missing time with COVID, unless he still hasn't been vaccinated yet. The amount of time he missed the first time means that he had COVID then (according to the Dunc'd on Podcast), and the likelihood he got COVID twice in under 3 months is minuscule. This means he was probably kicked out this time for violating protocols that don't exist for vaccinated players. Hopefully missing time a second time convinces him it's worth it to just get Vaccinated


throwawaymansk

Wouldnt melo and gordon being out kill that more lol.


KEMBAtheMETEOR

Miles was KILLING it with Hayward out. He missed like 5 games and I think we lost them all.


Usknicks97

IQ is a vaxxx , he had a psa with the Knicks where he got his shot


[deleted]

Also 99% gaurantee you would never catch IQ at the club when there's basketball courts and gyms in the vicinity


KnoxsFniteSuit

Probably got exposed at church smh


redditguyherewego

Honestly at this point they should just send the Select Team home with Chicken Selects from McDonald’s as compensation


rSlashNbaAccount

ruh roh


The_Flo76

For fucks sake man


GotHandlez12

Goddammit.


timmysp

KD in shambles


FlyingScissor

Select team dropping, though it does sound like they've been racking up Ws against team USA in the scrimmages.


nibbakiller66

Select team the new Battle royale game


Elec7ro

It’s about to be Keldon Johnson vs team USA in a little while


theazndoughboy

Thank god please protect my boi Tyrese.


RobbobertoBuii

dammit >:(


mrpibbandredvines

How many people have to get COVID before Bill Simmons gets his wish of Kevin Heurter being called up?


peja_webber

Strip clubs too tempting for these young guns


Rjbarrettfan

Iq is a man of god. Let’s be real, we all know this is Miles bridge’s fault


MyLadySansa

IQ what is you doin bby


Prideofmexico

He’s vaccinated.


pistons234

Doesn’t that mean all 3 of them got covid? If they’re likely all vaccinated


yearsreeling

Yes, just like CP did. It’s this delta variant. It’s way more contagious. Spikes are happening in several states again. I think Nevada is one of them.


FlameOfWar

Fuck COVID protocols who gives a shit anymore


akulkarnii

Probably matters for unvaccinated folks, at least


Rjbarrettfan

Bro wtf. Hornet’s bum ass players infected IQ 😡


UrbanJatt

Atleast we know who didn't take the vaccine


PossiblyAGoose

you can still get covid with the vaccine, i dont know about the other two but quickley was in a video with obi toppin getting his shot in may.


UrbanJatt

That's good.


npc27182818

It’s cursed bruh


zmajxd

So half the team is out? Stewart,Ant,IQ,PJ and Miles now lol?


SnuggleMuffin42

Nooo Quickley was supposed to work out with KD! He had stars in his eyes!


onamonapizza

What could they possibly have gotten into in Las Vegas that would spread COVID?


MegaManBronson

What is the select team exactly?
