[quote=Anonymous]He wasn’t wearing a mask in the indoor staging area before he went on. He hugged other runners after the race. He didn’t appear to tell the medical staff who assisted him after the race that he had Covid, or they would probably have put masks on. Who knows what health vulnerabilities were present in the people around him?  Covid is not Ebola, but it’s definitely more dangerous than flu if you look at the numbers. It’s also hella contagious and if I were an Olympic athlete with another event in a couple of days I would really rather not be exposed, especially by someone who is aware that they are contagious since that particular exposure could have been avoided.

There are ways he could have run and still protected others around him better. I think he was planning on keeping it a secret, but the gig was up when he was taken out of the stadium in a wheelchair, so he had to confess.

Although the athletic performance was impressive, I’m gonna err on the side of “jerk move”. I will include his coaches on this one because I’m sure they helped him make his decisions. [/quote]
