Good decision by Fiserv. 

[MUfan12]

MU went from N7 on 11/30 to N95 on 1/1 smh

[Scoop Snoop]

As long as we do not have games restricted to cardboard "fans", this is a very minor inconvenience for those of you who hate mask requirements.

[BrewCity83]

I'm going to be the guy that munches on popcorn all game to avoid having the mask over my face.  Or are they banning food and drink from the seating bowl now?

They may as well with the awful ordering system for concessions.

[Warrior of Law]

Not surprised. Compliance and enforcement will operate at peak efficiency.

[Shooter Flatch]

Another decision the Bucks ownership feels they need to make for us 🙄.

Their building, their rules.

Be happy that they haven't cancelled all games yet.

[Shooter Flatch]

Unfortunately, we’re stuck with them. Don’t have to be happy about it though.

[Uncle Rico]

Restaurants, bars and other entertainment venues are temporarily closing right now in the greater Milwaukee area.  I hope wearing a mask at a venue still open won’t ruin your life or financia well-being.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Yeah its such a shame to be stuck with an ownership group that not only built an NBA champion, but also cares about our heath.

This guy wants more cancelations rather than mild inconvenience

[Uncle Rico]

Also, in before the lock

ban dis guy ^^^^

Unfortunately there are too many irresponsible people out there to let us get over this thing. So mask mandates, vaccine passports, etc. are needed to look out for the irresponsible people. Would it be nice to get past these things? Of course. Will we soon? No way.

It’s indeed the unlearned morons who are preventing the pandemic from petering out.

So it’s time policies—public and private—stop trying to protect the people who are too imbecilic to protect themselves. Insurance (health and life, to name two) should skyrocket for the unvaccinated so the rest of us don’t have to foot the bill when they take up precious ICU space. Because those most vulnerable to serious complications are the ones least likely to comply with mandates anyway, it’s time to let Darwinism play itself out as it will.

We have to have policies to protect those who won't protect themselves mostly due to the overwhelmed state of the health care system.

I know, but the awful truth is that it comes at the expense of those who are actually responsible. I visited a friend—vaccinated and compliant—going through cancer treatment at a world-famous hospital, and he couldn’t get a room because of COVID patients. He had a makeshift area in the PICU (which is not even designed for what he has). While you can’t turn people away, you can certainly de-prioritize their care if they don’t prioritize their own health in such basic ways.

This is terrible to hear.
Unfortunately, as evidence by certain scoopers, they don’t give a sheet.

My Uncle is a Vietnam Vet who lives at the VA.  He has not been able to leave since March of 2020 (edit, sorry MU8891, I had a typo).  He had a 3 week window this summer where he could review visitors (1 person for 1 hour, once per week).  That policy was quickly rescinded due to Delta. 

His access to family holiday gatherings / MU games / or simply walking into a Culver's is dictated by external indexes like cases / positivity rates / hospitalizations, etc.  All things completely out of his control.  He has seen 2 family members in 21 months.  He has missed countless holidays and birthdays.  We FaceTimed with him on Christmas (a first bc he has no technology, a loving nurse stepped in) and for the first time he saw his 1 year old grandniece and grandnephew.  My heart broke as he said hello to them over FaceTime and remarked it was the first time he ever saw them.  His time away from us is now longer than his tour in Vietnam.

When I hear someone bitch about wearing a mask for a few hours at a MU game, all I can say is go unnatural carnal knowledge yourself. 

 

[MUfan12]

We could wear 12 masks and it'd have jackshyte to do with that draconian policy at the VA. Especially if he's vaccinated, I'd direct some of that ire at them.
