Og I know you follow this closely, isn’t this kind of optimistic? If we don't get the J&J vaccine in March, and you only use the mRNA vaccines I think it's more like September/October to get to that kind of number.Originally Posted by OgtheDim

"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
Federal numbers & dates given to the province - that's why I said in theory. Canada has agreements & bought a HECK of lot of vaccines. Feds have been very nimble in all this - province less so which is why I said in theory.
We shall see but nothing I've seen yet indicates these numbers are not on track.
Point is this is a big carrot to people looking to play in North America - come to a region which has its shit together.

Of course, perception is possible to change in the next few months if the US feds get their shit together.

Not really, don't listen to the politicians. It's not about the number of vaccines it's about delivery, and most of the vaccines were ordered late and have quite late delivery (the original plan was to go all in on a vaccine partnership with China, which their government scuttled due to Meng/Huawei, that's why we didn't order until August). We're no way near worst in the world, but we're not at the front of the line either. We won't have herd immunity until at least September, and maybe not until 2022. If I was a player I'd be looking at Israel, which will be fully vaccinated by March. Nicer weather than Canada too.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
