Bell Centre vaccine clinic extended
Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme is in isolation after testing positive for Covid, and will not be at the Bell Centre with his team Friday night. All reports say Ducharme had two shots of vaccine, so who knows what’s up with that.
The vaccine clinic at the Bell Centre has been extended.

The vaccines have two measures of efficacy, developing an infection and hospitalization. The ones currently approved by Health Canada prevent on average about 95% of people exposed to the virus from developing an infection. Of the remaining 5% (of which Ducharme seems to be part) almost 100% only have minor symptoms and never need hospitalization.

Could also have been a false positive, as recently occurred with a Spanish soccer player.

CBC says Ducharme is confirmed positive.

It has been 1 week since members of the team (no idea how many abstained) were vaccinated, and it takes a few weeks after the second shot to be immunized—usually more the older you are.
That and Ducharme constantly takes off his mask to talk to people…

I’ve noticed that with pretty much all the coaches. They pull their masks down whenever they have something to say, which is actually a more important time to wear it than if they are just standing their silent.
