Right, the criticism is more aimed at the government here. It's a very bad sign for the winter sports season in general. 27 minutes ago, dcro said: Honestly, a variant that appears to have possibly come from HIV (?) seems rather dangerous. Haha.

dcro 10,179 Posted December 2, 2021 #765 Share Posted December 2, 2021 The "4th wave" (really just omicron) are causing new cancellations left and right on the equestrian circuit. Sadly most indoor events are not really feasible without spectators. Meanwhile, I am just baffled. Baffled. That some people are still counting "waves" in all this mess. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
