    Can somebody tell me why it would be so devastating if an athlete caught covid. They would recover in 3 days, that's if they would have any symptoms at all. If anybody would have a strong immune system, wouldn't that be an athlete?

    One of my high school runners caught it over the summer at camp. Would have been 3rd through 5th Varsity. First part of the season was about 12th or 13th runner on the team. Never got his lungs back. Ended the season as 10th runner.

    No coffee yet. The above should read:

    Covid cases/million citizens in the States are ~40x what they are in Canada

    Covid deaths/million citizens in the States are ~20x what they are in Canada

    1. Canada is ~2.5x the US.

    2. The race is in Poland, not the US.

    Hopefully the coffee worked because this was bad.

    They probably have a Covid working group like USATF with medical experts. Leave it up to them, not the athletes (or Letsrun), to decide what’s best.

    Athletes have been competing all over the world for months with zero issues. Stop being brainwashed.

    It's unfortunate that in a lightly moderated space like this that absolute rot, like the statement above, is able to survive -- as if it is true.
