great news re Arthur - thanks Aza
I wonder with the huge outbreak in our AFLW team and staff has delayed the return by a week or two?

Good observation and it's a very real chance.

Re: Preseason Training 2022
I mean, hypothetical, real hypothetical, but why not infect all the players now and let them get through it so they have at least 6 months of the strongest protection against covid so we can get through the majority of the season without huge disruptions? I know purposefully infecting the entire league might sound counter-intuitive but looking at what's happening in other codes and it doesn't seem like too much of a bad idea?

Because we are dealing with humans, real life people who have families, and are not guaranteed to fully recover.

It boggles the mind that after all this, there's still a pervasive "just a bad cold" mentality.
A month ago I did CPR on an anti vaxxer with Covid for an hour who had no underlying health issues and was 50 years old. Now his six kids don't have a Dad. Don't @ me with your tinfoil bullshit because I just don't care.

Re: Preseason Training 2022
There definitely are people who have symptoms more in line with a common cold, but that is largely thanks to the vaccines and needs to be balanced out with the vulnerable people who get severe symptoms.
I got Covid at the boxing day test (along with many others I'd guess) and there was a lot of variability between me and my 5 mates who were also positive. I had a scratchy throat, cough, some niggly congestion and a 24 hour period of body aches. It's now 2+ weeks down the track and I feel back to normal - I'm exercising, I'm working. I took ibuprofen a couple of times for the aches but otherwise didn't require any treatment.
BUT my wife is now 2 weeks down the track and still struggling with congestion and fatigue. So it is definitely a broad spectrum.
I would be amazed if none of our players have had covid over the past month.

We need to hear from more people out there on the front lines like yourself EW.
Stories like yours are absolutely compelling and I can't thank you and all your colleagues enough in all forms of first line response for the amazing work you do.
Should be collectively Australian's of the year.
This wave is hitting hard in different ways.
I have access to ongoing information from state gov departments and heard this morning only 1 crane is operating at the ports due to staff shortages. There are 10 days of cargo boats backlogged in the bay!

I hope your wife gets over it, as long covid is a real issue that is not being discussed much.
