Vaccines
by Nick-At-Will Did you realize that there are 13 immunization vaccines now given to the children of the United States!
Hopefully...there will soon be a 14th vaccine...for the Coronavirus, Covid-19!
For obvious safety and health reasons, perhaps all junior squash
tournaments, play and practice should be postponed until this dreaded
virus is controlled and/or prevented. As we all know, squash is
currently played in a relatively closed area...where many types of
bacterial and viral infections may occur and be transmitted. Is playing
squash worth having children subject to such infections? We think not!
The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has now canceled most of
their men's and women's pro squash-events for 2020. Many other
countries have canceled all their pro and amateur squash events as
well! And...U.S. Squash is canceling all remaining junior
squash-tournaments on their calendar through the Labor Day weekend. It
remains to be seen what the high-schools, leagues and colleges will do
with their squash programs and/or schedules!
It should be understood that caution (An once of prevention is worth a
pound of cure) be used if/when allowing a junior squash-player to
participate, play, practice and/or take squash-lessons.
Remember...there is no guarantee that persons with-whom they are
associating with isn't carrying the Coronavirus Covid-19...and not know
it!
Perhaps having junior squash-players delay their participation in
playing, practicing and/or taking squash-lessons in enclosed
squash-courts may just be the best decision made until a vaccine for
this dreaded virus can be developed and administered!
