trying not to think about that as i figure out best way to get from airport to hotel downtown(also really wish usfs would consider the vax/test regs again -- current situation is unknown, ***** is spreading even in high-vax areas, AND - most importantly - many people researched & made a decision to purchase NON-REFUNDABLE tickets based on having that regulation in place. Considering the demographics of skating fans as well...)

...and MANY of us purchased the most expensive all-event ticket packages when they went on sale back in the spring when there were no arena restrictions and it seemed unlikely they would be put back in place. But YNW has a mind of its own...trying not to think about that as i figure out best way to get from airport to hotel downtown
You might want to consider reading this article posted by the Yale School of Public Health and wear your mask inside of the arena.

Hopefully you'll wear a mask inside the arena since it's, you know, required. Regardless of whatever you think people should feel comfortable with or whatever you saw at whatever other events you've been to.
The Bridgestone Arena is a 20,000-seat venue for sports, concerts, and conferences. It's not an ice skating rink. Fans can attend a Nashville Predators NHL ice hockey game without ANY protocols including masks. What's so special about figure skating? Are you saying it's not a REAL sport like baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, etc. where most protocols are long gone?
You obviously haven’t been following this posters activity
Oh, I have. And pretty much have zero patience left.

You obviously don't get the science or haven't read the article. Technically, the Bridgestone arena becomes a mammoth ice arena from which evaporation of the ice surface attracts and is able to carry viral particles. In addition, Bridgestone is an aging arena with not the latest and greatest in terms of air filtration systems.
They haven't had this requirement (and neither does the ISU) all year, yet they have been able to hold events with fans without them becoming super-spreader events. I wouldn't mind a vaccine/test requirement but I don't think it's necessary either.
An arena is still not an ice rink. And, yes, I read the article and I think you are the one who doesn't understand the science. It says clearly that particles in the air are trapped by an inversion layer where cold and warm air meet. In their experiments, the barrier is at about 10 ft. Which is not where anyone in the audience is sitting. We are all above that.
Thank god those days are gone!
Maybe because the Zams and Olympias in arenas are usually electric (as they are in many rinks these days as well).
I personally know a local event where more than dozen attendees were infected (well, it might not be a "super" spreader, but the event itself did not have a large number of attendees).
Well, I am planning to get my second booster shot a bit early to have some extra protection while in Nashville.trying not to think about that as i figure out best way to get from airport to hotel downtown
Sorry but without a reliable report the "I personally know" is about as reliable as me stating "I personally know the Queen of England"
Was it in an arena?
Yuki reps most of the top skaters for IMG. I think she knows what's going on in our sport.
Saegusa, yes. YukiNieve is a different Yuki, AFAIK.
Right. I've met Ms Saegusa - a very nice person.Saegusa, yes. YukiNieve is a different Yuki, AFAIK.
We all have our vices,dear. I do like to indulge in a long drag of my Salem Slims after a particularly arousing performance. And apparently you are rather fond of the exhaust fumes from gas-fueled zambonis. I am not one to judge.
Thank you！！
