[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are healthy young adults. A bit of a virus isn't going to stop them from competing in the biggest event of their lives. [/quote]

However, vigorous exercise while actively infected is linked with development of long COVID. So a bit of virus may stop them from
nearly everything else thereafter.

Everyone acting like this is “normal” we are “back to” is complicit in the suffering these folks will experience. You’ll say a lot of things—but don’t say you were not informed.[/quote]

[b]Vigorous exercise for the otherwise couch potatoes. [/b]He will be fine in a few days.[/quote]

No, an Olympic event is vigorous even for a well-trained athlete. What this guy did was a risk and he's not going to know the outcome of the risk--to him!--for a while. I wish him the best but I think he's an idiot.[/quote]

Nutter he'll be just fine.  [/quote]

I do hope so, for his sake. But combined, the odds that every athlete who competed while infected gets away without post-acute complications is low. Calling me “nutter” and re-asserting “he’ll be fine” does not change that.[/quote]

That's not how statistics work and in any case that's not even what the science says:

The jury is actually out on long Covid (other studies have indicated that exercising when you have long Covid can lead to a flare up in symptoms). I suspect this is because what we now consider long Covid is actually a variety of different post-viral syndromes and eventually they will be separated and grouped with existing post-viral syndromes. Like chronic fatigue syndrome.

But Lyles doesn't have long covid or chronic fatigue syndrome. He had covid and chose to exercise with it. The vast majority of people with Covid fully recover fairly quickly and evidence shows that exercising when you have Covid not only will not harm you but could help you recover.[/quote]

All of this. The other pp is crazy.[/quote]
