Everybody either had it, has it or will get it.  Some just have regular flu type symptoms that go ways in a few days.  Other are a-symptomatic. 

 

Boost your immune system by eating right and drinking enough water.  Thailand is one of the easiest places in the world for doing just that.

In a later test it was proven to be a ‘false positive’ so he’s ok and the games needn’t have been cancelled. Better to be safe.....

There was a report on here by a Western returnee who had undergone quarantine about how others in his hotel were consistently flaunting, and were allowed to, consistently flaunt the social distancing and isolation rules in the hotel he was in. This could explain how the Uzbek became infected just before or after his final test in quarantine.
