Should an athlete who has Covid be allowed to participate in any event? Olympics, baseball, basketball, etc.?
First thing that popped into my mind--if a guy can run at an Olympic level while "suffering" (apparently not quite the appropriate word) from a case of COVID, then how dangerous can COVID be?
