Agreed. A U.S. runner competed in a race in the Olympics 2 days after he tested positive. He collapsed at the end and needed some help. He seemed proud that he still got bronze (he was favored for gold), but all I could think was how selfish he was. He was hugging and up close to other athletes there. Had a mask on later, but still. They had no Covid protocols for the Paris games, which just seemed wrong.

My H had it a couple months ago. I was a bit ill then, but never tested positive (it took him about 5 days after he first started feeling ill to test positive, too). So unsure if I possibly had it? (I had it in May 2023, but managed to keep H and D from getting it via masking, isolation, and air purifiers/open windows).

I feel we have to be careful because my mother-in-law has multiple conditions that put her at high-risk, and she tends to watch my D once a week.

Hope it's not Covid, Jersey!
