It becomes ridiculous to see perfectly fit athletes told to isolate for no reason.

It seems like every other week everyone on Earth has covid.

It is futile to think there is something to be done obviously. Lake isolated 5 days, to no avail.

All athletes have been fully vaccinated

No need to mention about vaccine status.

The whole wold knows already, that the vaccine do not protect you to get infected.

And when I see that seven members are infected means they infected each other.

And all are fully vaccinated.

Which proves again how useless the vaccine is against the spread of the virus and the spread of the infection.

The only way to infect is by close contact including passionate kissing. Lucky people, but recently the virus is not so severe. Get well soon, just stay in bed.

No mention of anyone actually being sick! They just got a positive PCR result.

I think you're getting covid confused with monkeypox...

No doubt they’re thanking their lucky stars that they’ve been vaccinated. Otherwise, we might very well be reading about 7 dead bodies.

No, this virus is mild for everyone who does not have other health problems, has nothing to do with the vax.

Oh so Covid had a 100% fatality rate prior to the vaccines? I must have been looking at the wrong data then.

Covid mania.

People forgot that the reason why they feared Covid was because in rare cases, specially if vulnerable, it could get you ARDS, a very serious type of respiratory failure with a high mortality rate.

After 2 years of overblown constant panic and fear, now with most people vaccinated against it, and with the current variant of the virus, the probability of getting ARDS has gone so low that it is almost imposible to distinguish from any other type of corona virus, unless you get tested, but some people now fear the idea of getting covid, even if currently it translates to getting a cold, or in many cases no symptoms at all.

And because now it has been normalized the concept of restricting people as the main measure to deal with covid, even if, once again, almost everyone is already vaccinated, they will just continue with this security theater until people get so sick about it they start to regain their senses.

Sadly, it will take years.
