So 5 sports people same flight ..... That's terrible ..... Covid can run through an entire countries team and derail all of them ....

What makes it even worse is that most of them aren't even sick at all. They could compete, no problem, but just aren't allowed to.

 

I mean, it sucks just as badly when you get injured or actually sick now, but at least in that situation you simply can't compete even if you wanted to...

I hope that doctors like that do not find work within the European Union, a real shame. They should bar them from practicing the profession 

Agreed. I feel a real shame!!!!

Tell me about that.... You know, the doctor who is patient 0 in our team said he refused the vaccine and that he uses MOUTH WASH several times a day to get rid of viruses and it should prevent spreading covid ???. 

 

Partially ok. But you are god damn going to be the official tennis players doc at the Olympic and you behave like a jerk ..... 

 

I feel sorry for you and the completely Czech team (and Olympics). It absolutely dumbest thing you can do as a team stuff member.

Do you know if there were more athletes in the same plane? And at the risk now?

The thing he did is out of imagination. Ministry of health has started investigation.... This is the peak of irresponsibility .....

 

Well, on board, there was archer Marie Horackova, road cycling team, epee fencer Jakub Jurka, all table tennis players, beach volley pairs. Should be all ..... Charter flight so obviously many took is so easy and the result is as it is ....

I hope that some of Czech athletes from that plane will be retested, some of those tests could be falsely positive. Especially when they are symptom free.

Such a pitty for all of them.

I was also hoping for that. But seems once you are confirmed positive, you have to do 10 day quarantine no matter what. Even if you 5 consecutive negative tests...

False positives are pretty rare. Being only middy infected is more common than the test being wrong.

Being 'mildly infected' seems like being 'sort of pregnant'? I mean, you either are, or you're not.

I mean you infected for a day or two but it very quickly clears up and you return to negative testing. It’s a lot more common if you are partly or fully vaccinated.
