Smart people don't ignore the risks of #COVID19 and other viruses before important events. These are the members of the U.S. women’s Olympic cross-country ski team posing for a photo Thursday, Feb. 5 in Italy. Not only are they wearing masks to make sure they can compete healthy, they are living outside the Olympic village in an off-site hotel during the entirety of the Games — a substantial financial investment intended to protect “health and wellness.”

@augieray 7th year of the pandemic, and finally people are realizing it is best to don a mask and take precautions rather than risk an acute illness that could easily side swipe chances for an Olympic medal (and their future sporting career). It boggles my mind how people don't mind gambling their health away after working so hard.
