dcro 10,179 Posted February 5, 2021 #1821 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Don't think anybody said it here, but it has been confirmed, athletes testing positive will be excluded from the competition. It will be so 'fun'. rafalgorka 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted February 11, 2021 #1826 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The thing is, even if every single athlete gets vaccinated beforehand (not gonna happen), vaccines are still only about 90% efficient at best. That leaves around 1000 athletes that could potentially get excluded (in this, the most optimistic scenario). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will some countries even consider this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very mixed, but obviously a lot of unhappy citizens as not all vulnerable received the vaccines yet. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
