CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

I reckon Sars-Cov-2 is not a hoax and to accuse anyone of thinking so is a bit false anyway as I think people have looked at this pandemic and decided its not that dangerous (rightly or wrongly).



Whilst that doesn't mean a lot for anyone, its worthy to consider the golfer who was leading the tournament, and was not far from the final hole when news of his positive test came through and he was inconsolable.

He was immediately out of a tournament he was leading and likely to win given he was 5 strokes ahead, he was tapped on the shoulder, and then embraced by others.

Rahm, the defending champion and current world number three, seemed poised for victory in Dublin.

He had produced a commanding performance that included a hole-in-one to complete his second round and an 8-under-par 64 to tie two tournament records.

He was the first positive asymptomatic case as part of the Tour's contact-tracing protocols.

It was a shocking turn of events for Rahm given the timing.

He was close to perfect on the back nine, running off six birdies in an eight-hole stretch to turn a one-shot lead into a six-shot cushion.

Rahm tied the Memorial record for largest 54-hole lead set by Tiger Woods in 2000.

Now I get it, he won the covid lottery and he was asymptomatic, but is he just lucky or is this closer to the norm than not?

I think this is where the majority of people (including myself) struggle with the whole covid situation.

Whilst we can count ourselves all quite lucky considering low case numbers, it appears that we were quite unlucky last year in the fact that it got into our aged care facilities.

Its a tough tightrope to walk and it would be nice to know more about it all I guess.
