Cameron van der Burgh @Cameronvdburgh 2/ I have been struggling with Covid-19 for 14 days today. By far the worst virus I have ever endured despite being a healthy individual with strong lungs(no smoking/sport), living a healthy lifestyle and being young (least at risk demographic)
119
4:32 PM - Mar 22, 20203/ Although the most severe symptoms(extreme fever) have eased, I am still struggling with serious fatigue and a residual cough that I can’t shake. Any physical activity like walking leaves me exhausted for hours.
Canada just announced that even IF the Olympics proceed as scheduled, they're not sending anyone.

I feel like it's game of "whoever blinks first has to pay for it" between Japan and the IOC on cancelling/postponing for a year.
