Did Covid precautions and treatments help Team Australia win big at the Olympics?
Did Covid precautions and treatments help Team Australia win big at the Olympics?

“What's less reported is the precautions the team took to keep themselves safe.

Inferring from media reports, these were:

  • wearing masks (KN95s) during air travel to the games
  • wearing them in the Olympic village
  • Frequent testing for Flu, Covid and other viruses
  • Rapid use of antivirals (likely Paxlovid), which some athletes said helped them win medals after 1-2 days.

Some questions for all of you:

  • How long until each country realizes the competitive advantage offered by not getting sick?
  • Easily accessible antivirals kept Team Australia performing at their best, why can't you access them to stay healthy too?”
