Earlier today, several reports emerged about an issue with the COVID testing last night, with teams across multiple sports believing that false positives had been reported. It wasn’t clear which teams would be affected, but the St. Louis Blues have now issued a statement from president of hockey operations Doug Armstrong:
We have discovered discrepancies in Covid test results relating to multiple players. We have been in touch with and are working with the League to address these discrepancies with additional testing and expect to have further information later this afternoon.
The League will provide a further update when we have more information. Head Coach Craig Berube and our players will not be available to the media until after tonight’s game.
The Blues are the team that currently has three players in the COVID protocol, including top scorer David Perron. As Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press points out, the team recently did additional testing after Jake Walman, who is fully vaccinated, tested positive with a rare breakthrough infection. Walman and Nathan Walker are the other two players in the protocol with Perron.
St. Louis is set to take on the Colorado Avalanche in game two of their first-round series later tonight, but obviously, that is now up in the air depending on what happens with this testing situation. Colorado is up 1-0 after a 4-1 win on Monday.
“Vaccine”
Really? How can it be a vaccine if you can still catch the disease it’s suppose to protect you against? Sounds like an over the counter stop gap to me. Pretty sure you’ve already got the shot and posted it on social media tho. You’re a sheep. You do whatever “they” say. You’re soft and easy to mold. Enjoy being controlled by everyone else for the rest of your life. What else do you believe? You think the earth is flat too? You sir or ma’am are the idiot. Wake up.
A vaccine offers a percentage of protection. It isn’t 100%. Depends on the vaccine, as they are not equal in their effectiveness.
You can contract the disease and spread it without the effects when vaccinated. So the vaccine protects the individual themselves, but not those around them who are not vaccinated.
I guess I believe what the scientific consensus is. Seems like a better option than buying into QAnon.
Yeah you seem pretty upset dude. Nice story the voices in your head made up, though. Very entertaining.
The Blues aren’t the only entity experiencing covid testing discrepancies.
Hopefully it’s not as bad as the government discrepancies
