Re: C19 and Tennis
Feel awful for Matteo. To look so good so soon coming back from an injury that took you out for months only to have this happen, really sucks. He was my pick to win it. A tough break for sure, maybe next year his luck will turn around.

Silently, he has been having some bad luck. Several injuries, now this. Broke up with Ajla. It has been a bit topsy turvy, for sure.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Ok, this is getting serious:
Tennis: "There was a Covid epidemic at Roland-Garros and no one talked about it", says Alizé Cornet
The original news is from L'equipe, which is very respected. That link is in French.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Believable. If there was a lot of money on the line most of us would probably not test either.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Sure. I would test myself privately but, if showing no symptoms, I would most likely keep it quiet.

Re: C19 and Tennis
How I wish I could say I am a man of integrity and impeccable morals.
But I have never seen 70,000 Euros just to play one match (RG 1r losers' prize), nor I have never dedicated my life to such an endeavor in which playing such a match could be a dream opportunity.
I really would not know what to do if the test came positive AND I were not showing symptoms.

Re: C19 and Tennis
I do understand that. It is a ton of money for sure. I just don't know how I would deal with myself if others started getting sick. Really tough.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 5:57 pm How I wish I could say I am a man of integrity and impeccable morals.

Re: C19 and Tennis
To not get into such moral issues the solution is to not test unless there are some serious symptoms (more than coughing or a congested nose).

Re: C19 and Tennis
And don't get me wrong. The clear path would be to take yourself out. But, if asymptomatic, the little bug in your ear telling you "you are surrounded by a lot of very low risk people" would not be completely silent.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 6:05 pmI do understand that.

It would be a terrible position. But, as Suliso says, the pragmatic solution would be not to test yourself, and only do so if symptoms would develop.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Yeah, just not to know would be the best way to keep it unless you were having symptoms of course.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 6:23 pmAnd don't get me wrong.

Re: C19 and Tennis
Yeah... and these 'low risk people' who contract it from you then go on to spread it to their grandmother who's visiting to watch them play, etc.ponchi101 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 6:23 pmAnd don't get me wrong.

The ONLY thing to do if one tests positive is to be honest and upfront about it and pull out and isolate.

Re: C19 and Tennis
The link to the Cornet article a few posts above (post #843) is difficult to read, as it seems to be a (rather poor) translation.
I found this link to an article about the issue written in proper English...
What she reveals reeks of utter selfishness from the players.
