Lyles said he started feeling ill two days ago and knew it was more than just soreness from winning the 100. In Paris, there are no testing requirements, and national governing bodies develop their own protocols.
What’s the difference between playing with Influenca and covid?
“Just the flu” is seriously underselling Influenca and was coined by anti-vaxxers. I know people that have been in intensive care with it, even children.
It’s not the “common cold” which usually refers to bacterial infections.
A very common, mild viral infection of the nose and throat, whose symptoms include sneezing, sniffling, a running or blocked nose, a sore throat, coughing and a headache.
A mild viral infection involving the nose and respiratory passages (but not the lungs).
There isn’t. I’m comparing it to the media praising Jordan for “playing through the flu” as a high point in sports history. When in all seriousness, if he actually had the flu, he shouldn’t have been on the court at all. Most likely he had a bad case of food poisoning because he made selfish decisions the night before. Which makes him an asshole. Much like the Olympian.
Thought he was Michael Jordan playing through the flu (or food poisoning). Selfish jackass.

Common cold still mostly refers to a viral infection (several different ones) just not as bad as influenza or covid.
Thanks for the correction.

The illness we consider the “common cold” is actually a collection of common viruses, predominantly rhinovirus. It’s not a bacterial infection.
