I’ve been playing soccer at least weekly for almost a year with no mask. In that time I have heard of only one team who couldn’t play because of a positive Covid test and one player who suffered an infection (this player always wore a mask). In the few months of the vaccine being available, at least two players have missed games claiming the jab as the reason.
Those are my anecdotes. Here is how health authorities are abusing numbers.
