Noah Lyles Wins Bronze in 200 Meters, Then Reveals He Has Covid
Lyles said he started feeling ill two days ago and knew it was more than just soreness from winning the 100. In Paris, there are no testing requirements, and national governing bodies develop their own protocols.

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).
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.
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.
I came into this thread to list6 this exact message.
It's the Olympics. It's not exactly an altruistic event
