There wasn’t a single I.C.U. bed available in Alabama on Wednesday.

90% of the Covid patients are unvaccinated.
96% of Covid deaths are unvaccinated.

Alabama has 1557 ICU beds and estimates that 25% of hospitalized covid patients are in ICU at a given time. Yesterday, there were 2731 covid hospitalizations in Alabama, meaning there are an approximated 683 covid patients in ICU with the state's hospitals. That's 44% of ICU beds being taken up by covid patients.

Florida has a problem, and no one really knows what to do about it. it's headed your way. Alabama's gov broke down had to call everyone out lol. your best option is to just get the shot. at this point it's obvious it doesn't have bad effects, and my mutant power is that it seems to have worked on all the other cold viruses as well. I could understand why people were hesitant and wanted to wait, but I think we've seen enough. I would recomend the shot at this point.

Love your take on the situation. I agree with this 100 percent. If you want the shot, then get it. If you don't, then don't. It's really that simple, but for some reason there are actually people walking this earth that don't believe it is that simple.

LWS, can you explain the reason for the seemingly glacier pace at which our players are getting vaccinated? Does it just boil down to convincing more players not to be fearful of the vaccine? Are there some that had the first shot and just have to wait the allotted amount of time before they can get the second one? I'm genuinely surprised this is dragging out as long as it is. I think Alabama is 100%, along with Ole Miss. I'm not sure if any other SEC teams are at the 100% threshold.

Unless due to medical or religious reasons, if a player is afraid or too stubborn to get a shot and thus throws such disregard to his team, may God help him find the mental and physical strength to line up against bama.
How I would love to hear what General Neyland would have told him, maybe
"You can't fight like a man with less than 100% loyalty and college spirit."

I'm not sure that we are even over the 85% threshold that relieves the team from having to follow other protocols.

Meh the 85% is only for indoor masks anyway.

Unvaxxed players will have to go through protocols regardless of team vax rate.

Soo...not really a big issue if we don't reach 85% as far as protocols go. Now...it would be nice to have fewer unvaxxed players to simply avoid spread and missing players, if not games.

Hopefully the players are looking out for one another by getting vaxxed. It's for others around you too! Not all about "me".

Here's the deal... at least up north, vax'd people are no longer concerned about the unvax'd. Past generations wiped out polio and took the anthrax shot for you. A lot of folks up my way are going out and getting a 6 month booster just cause. Nobody knows what they are doing with the virus, or what should be done now that school is starting back up. But, if you want to play that game because of your Puritan ways, you can. Vax'd folks don't care anymore.

Delta is a completely different animal, WAY more contagious. You're experience last fall is now irrelevant. If you are unvaccinated and attend these games, be prepared to get it.

I just feel bad for the hospitals and those who work in the medical field in general. This is really putting a strain on all parties involved. According to WHO and the CDC, 97% of new COVID hospitalizations are un-vaxed patients. 99% of those who have suffered COVID related deaths were un-vaxed. I mean, do what you want. Believe what you want. But to me those percentages are staggering and it has truly become a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Yes, we will have to get boosters and it will probably have to become a yearly thing like the flu shot. But I'd rather take my chances with the vaccine than trust my own immune system or that "Jay-zus" is going to protect me.

So true brother!!!! All these people out here acting like me not vaccine up somehow affects their health. Absolutely no science behind that take. You want the shot, take it. I won’t treat you differently. Lost two elderly family members from complications from COVID who were in extremely poor health. Flu could’ve killed them. Vaccine DOES NOT keep you from transferring or carrying this virus. I’m cool if someone wants to take the vaccine. Now somebody starts getting in my face trying to scare, intimidate, or Heaven help them, force me to vaccinate, you’re gonna have a problem on your hands. Go VOLS!

There's nothing to worry about. Carry on with your life. I went to several Nascar events last fall unvaccinated and didn't take mask mandates seriously. I never have. There were no spikes from any of those events. Masks and plexiglass are ridiculous and won't save people from their own carelessness. Wash your hands often and quit touching your face, you'll be just fine. I plan on attending the game but did get talked by family into getting the vaccine this spring because no-one we knew of suffered any ill effects.

Im one of those healthcare workers and dont really care what people do as far as vaccinated or not. Man their choice. I would rather us not put heart valves in recurrent IV drug abusers with no health insurance. I don’t care if you wanna so drugs but you may not get your second valve surgery.

steps off soap box
