re: Do you think they will require “PCR” Covid testing for game?

I Had the shot but I am not giving to to my kids as they are obviously very low risk of complications from the virus. I got the shot because I have had enough patients die in their 40’s or still have long Covid that the benefits outweigh the risk.
What we also don’t know is the life expectancy of someone with long Covid. We think it is an inflammatory response and if that is a lifelong response then those people will have a significantly shortened life expectancy and we think that long Covid is somewhere in the 10% of symptomatic patients. I would say that the long term effects of the vaccine is likely much safer than the long term effects of Long Covid which is very common (would need a study in that).
With that said I am just not ready to give the shot to a group of people with minimal risk unless a new strain comes out that significantly effects them.
Thus my question about if a PCR is required or just a rapid test.
