[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1562143"] Without a doubt you want the leaders to be challenging and monitoring the situation. The issue specifically with his 'concern' is 1) the timing as you state, and 2) that we're just about where every serious infectious disease expert predicted (really bad fall and winter). So, if he's acting like this is a surprise, he's either disingenuous or had his head in the sand prior to the season starting. Where was his concern prior to the start based on that prediction? I get that sometimes it has to hit you in the face to get it, but what I'd prefer from a leader is to be proactive rather than reactive. This feels reactive based on his realization his team's not going to go anywhere anyway (but that could just be the skeptic in me). Having had to travel (unplanned and unwanted) for 3 days last week I can definitely understand the stress it puts on a team/organization. I would actually be ok with taking a pause for two months to get past the worst and get vaccines going. The problem, however, is the additional emotional challenge for the players. Do they practice? Will they keep as diligent in avoiding the virus? [/QUOTE]
