Where is everyone catching it?!

[MrsSpenserGregson]

I've just been reading about the tennis players (including Djokovic) who tested positive at a mini-tour organised in Croatia last week. Four of the players have tested positive so far (after hugging each other, playing basketball, and going clubbing together) and so has Djokovic's wife. ... mostly without symptoms I believe.

And then there are those two poor bereaved women who flew to New Zealand from the UK, left quarantine early and just happened, out of all the millions of people in the UK, to bring coronavirus back into New Zealand. What are the chances??? Where are they catching it, if we've all been locked down and isolating for months? Is the virus circulating far more than we think, with high numbers of asymptomatic people who simply aren't getting tested because they have no reason to? In both cases I've mentioned, the people involved were only tested because of outside influences, not because they had symptoms .....

I’d probably guess it’d the two planes they flew on. Enclosed space with recycled air for a long duration spells trouble.

Schools, hospitals, care homes, meat packing plants.

Yes it does, absolutely. .. but what I mean is that there could only have been a few hundred people on those two planes in total. What are the chances that someone on the planes actually has Covid? Pretty low, if our governments are to be believed. Isn't the ratio in the U.K. supposed to be 1 person infected in every 1700? And Croatia never had a massive number of cases to start with. It just seems like a huge coincidence to me, unless the number of asymptomatic people is way way higher than previously thought.

I think the number of asymptomatic people is bigger than we realise

I think larger amounts of asymptomatic people who never produce antibodies, so the true figure of people infected so far is much higher than 7%

Serves Djoker right. Arrogant twat. Anti-vaxxer & thinks he’s immune to a virus that’s caused a pandemic!

Seems like there’s possibly a suggestion way more of us are asymptomatic or very mildly infected than perhaps initially thought!

Yes I hate him too @Bol87. Overrated, arrogant wanker (Djok, not you!). When he ripped his shirt off after beating Nadal in Australia I wanted to vomit.

Yy I am not a conspiracy theorist at all, but it really does seem as though there are many many more asymptomatic cases than anyone in authority is admitting to, and I'm wondering why they aren't questioning this.

I agree. I think lots more people have had it but dont produce antibodies

It was such a stupid thing to do, to stage a tournament with no social distancing. And yes, he's always been very arrogant, but that goes with the territory of being a world number one tennis player.

But there are a lot of COVID-19 cases appearing at sports events right now, which does make me think they've started sports events again too soon.

Work....
