A team US women's alternate gymnast has tested positive for covid (was vaccinated). Another alternate considered a close contact and also isolating. And so it begins...

That just blows my mind. It's a stark reminder there are two economies and the haves are just pulling further away.

There was a young tennis player (17 yo) who had to withdrawal because she tested positive. Yeah, I'm sad Coco Gauff isn't going to be able to play. I hope she has a smooth recovery and is able to play the US Open. What a rotten thing to happen for these athletes, but also so very predictable.

There was a young tennis player (17 yo) who had to withdrawal because she tested positive. I was reading something this morning that mentioned a couple of others too. To get all the way there and be so close... that has to be so hard on the athletes.

Have they said if the athletes who tested positive were fully vaccinated? At least the US athletes? I was really surprised to learn that there was no universal vaccination mandate for the US team. I'm also nosy as to how severe a case the positive athletes end up with. Thu, July 15, 2021, 6:52 PM·3 min read Olympic organizers have made a series of major, last-minute policy changes to reduce the risk of a superspreader event, but they declined to employ one particularly powerful tool: a vaccine mandate. The big picture: Mandatory vaccinations would have been a massive logistical and ethical puzzle. But without one, the threat of infection will loom over the Olympic Village and could ultimately extend well beyond it. State of play: The U.S. Olympic team is requiring coaches and support staff to be vaccinated, but not athletes. Swimmer Michael Andrew said he'd declined the shot, fearing it could impact his performance. Other athletes have also expressed reservations, though many did elect to be vaccinated. news.yahoo.com/why-athletes-tokyo-olympics-wont-235229600.html

Can’t help but relate this to a class action lawsuit where the total everyone gets sounds like what each person should have received.

“It was my 2nd shooting so I was kind of prepared” Fuuuuuckkkkk all the things. This is what I expect a child to say after seeing a rainbow or experiencing a thunderstorm. 💔

Chad asked if they would consider reaching out to the former guy to cut a PSA supporting vaccination l. Jen points to research saying local people are more trusted and says he's welcome to get off his dumb ass and tell people to get vaccinated but he won't be receiving "an engraved invitation "

Ugh. The WH isn't telling school districts to follow the AAP guidance on Masks in schools, pointing to the CDC guidance that localities can make their own decisions.
