What a selfish asshole.
I’m torn on this one. It seems he took legit precautions up until the race. And the race is incredibly short, far less time than we were told was a serious risk. If the race takes 20-30 seconds and the lining up is a couple minutes, that’s not a lot of exposure.
He congratulated the winner by shaking his hand and giving him a hug after the race …
Man fuck him
He exhales much more air (therefore droplets contaminated with covid) much faster, covering a much larger area with it, and guess who has to run straight into his lung cloud.
They say it’s safer outdoors because it dissipates easily, and after a short while the concentration drops to safe levels. But not when the very next instant you run straight into it with your mouth open, inhaling.
This is why I hated when people used to form dense lines outdoors, taking off their mask because it’s not required outside. Like you couldn’t still micro(macro?)spit someone in the face as you talk or even breathe.
Some people might have their career ruined, so i can run for 200m
Nothing to be torn about. He’s a selfish asshole.
It’s the Olympics and they’re near the end. Almost nobody else is taking serious precautions at this point.
How do you think he caught it? He’s not the only source of Covid at the Olympics.
“But everyone else is doing it” has never been a mitigating factor.
Thought he was Michael Jordan playing through the flu (or food poisoning). Selfish jackass.
What’s the difference between playing with Influenca and covid?
“Just the flu” is seriously underselling Influenca and was coined by anti-vaxxers. I know people that have been in intensive care with it, even children.
It’s not the “common cold” which usually refers to bacterial infections.
Common cold still mostly refers to a viral infection (several different ones) just not as bad as influenza or covid.
Thanks for the correction.
common cold
noun
A very common, mild viral infection of the nose and throat, whose symptoms include sneezing, sniffling, a running or blocked nose, a sore throat, coughing and a headache.
A mild viral infection involving the nose and respiratory passages (but not the lungs).
It’s not the “common cold” which usually refers to bacterial infections.
The illness we consider the “common cold” is actually a collection of common viruses, predominantly rhinovirus. It’s not a bacterial infection.
There isn’t. I’m comparing it to the media praising Jordan for “playing through the flu” as a high point in sports history. When in all seriousness, if he actually had the flu, he shouldn’t have been on the court at all. Most likely he had a bad case of food poisoning because he made selfish decisions the night before. Which makes him an asshole. Much like the Olympian.
I came into this thread to list6 this exact message.
It’s the Olympics. It’s not exactly an altruistic event
The one thing you shouldn’t do with Covid is push hard while you have it, that increases the risk of developing Long Covid.
Yup, MMA fighter Khamzat Chimaev might have ruined his career doing exactly that.
Imagine breathing hard and gasping for breath around a bunch of other people is also probably a big No-No. I didn’t watch it did he go up into the stands to hug people like he did in the previous race?
The German silver medal winner in long jumping couldn’t finish her last jump and got wheeled off in a wheelchair as she couldn’t breathe properly anymore as a result from a 2 month old COVID infection still reducing her lung volume.
Long COVID✨✨
A couple months ago a bunch of French olympic volunteers resigned due to the lack of COVID precautions.
I guess they were right.
Then he crushed a coconut with his bare hand, and then wrestled a saltwater crocodile, pinning it in under a minute.
And then went on to prove that black is white and was swiftly trampled at the next zebra crossing.

My right to do whatever the fuck I want is more important than your right to your health.
Fuck you Noah.
Every athlete who finished after him now has Covid.
All of France actually, it’s a bad one
Isn’t he the guy being medicated for asthma, allergies, and ADHD… For which the medication just coincidentally happens to be performance-enhancing? Yeah forgive me if I have no sympathy for the guy.
Long covid feeling that photo… But one can fight back.
