How is it even possible he got to the semis, if he had CoVid, do they not test prior..? I really fail to see how it is possible he even competed. Not something he got in one day into or night before finals, at least I doubt it. To me this is pretty f'ing puzzling...he felt like s-h=, But there was no positive test prior? Testing in today's world has to be part of the pre-compete protocol? No?
I don't know what to make of this. Jakob ran the equivalent of a 3:47 / 3:48 mile. Finished second in a strong field. Finished about a quarter second behind the former world indoor record holder. And all while he felt like sh** and apparently was sick with COVID? Maybe he is Superman.
I get that, I am still unsure, how he ever possibly got to compete? Am I making too much of that? He exposed people, competitors and others...CoVid Protocols used to be off the chart..not at World Indoors? Just sayin'
Wow quite a plot twist! Hopefully he didn’t give it to Jon + Rojo during their interview - would suck to be stuck in Belgrade
Eh, not sure if you've ever been there, but I've always enjoyed Belgrade. This isn't 1999 when NATO was bombing it to pieces. Of course, being quarantined in a hotel room anywhere would suck.
2-3 million out of 7 billion....it is less than .4% of the population, yet your post is a 50% variance in total deaths. If you are indicating to anyone in conversation a 50% variance in total deaths over the past two years, you will look quite poorly informed. Please do not comment on a matter without tightening up your data. Also, it might be fair to present the average age of the fatalities, along with what percentage were suffering pre-existing conditions. To provide basic math on the actual statistics, roughly 1.3% of people who test positive for COVID actually die, and your random number range your threw out was off by 50-66%. Deaths are currently at 6 million. Math is not that complication in deriving the percentages.
How is it possible that you dont know that there can go from 2-4 days from a person getting the virus, till it is possible to detect with a test? How else do you think its possible that all people must have a negative test before travelling to most foreign countries, but still some of them will still get a positive test when they arrive?
I gave a very wide range of deaths, simply bc of the fact that many countries have been undercounting their covid-deaths dramatically. Countries like Brazil, Russia, India have probably far more deaths from covid than they report, if you look at deaths the last two years, compared to a normal year. But I am not interested in having a "is covid more than the flu"-discussion with you. I cannot help myself from being rude when trying to learn someone what they do not want to understand.
Yeah, and those 2-3 millions just pretending to die from it - embarrassing.
Do you know anything about their states of health, lifestyles, upbringing etc? Serious question.
Yes. Most of them were probably somewhat less fit than Jakob. It's OK to be less fit than Jakob. The vast majority of humans on earth, including his fellow Olympic and World Championship finalists, are less fit than Jakob.

Not everyone it killed was fat old people. A guy I went to HS with died from it. He was barely 30 years old. Come to think of it he was also a distance runner. Nothing amazing. He had no chronic health problems. So there is no doubt Covid killed many people that had a lot of years left. Sad sh!t.
Look at Nick Cordero. If you don't know who that is, look it up. Not an athlete in the conventional sense but probably fitter than all but like 3 people on letsrun. Poor guy was on life support for months, had his f*cking legs amputated because of all of the blood clots caused by COVID, and ultimately didn't make it.

Kate Grace is not doing well either with long covid.
Jakob tested negative just the day before the final, right?
Common question Can people with mild COVID-19 symptoms recover at home? People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should manage their symptoms at home. On average it takes 5–6 days from when someone is infected with the virus for symptoms to show, however it can take up to 14 days.
Good for him for telling people he tested positive - and kinda wild how many of you wouldn't let people you've been around know that you have covid. Jakob announcing this is the right thing to do...also impressive how well he performed when it could have already been in his system.
