azgreg I’m not planning to watch anyway, but that sucks for Bryson.

JON RAHM is also out due to a positive test.

At least this time they didn't wait to test and then DQ him sitting on a big lead. The guy is a COVID lightning rod.

That’s surprising since he tested positive a few weeks ago. This Delta variant is much more contagious than the original virus.

Taki27

mikeintopeka So he tests positive at Memorial, gets the vaccine at the same time and now 6 weeks later, despite having antibodies AND a vaccine he tests positive again? I don’t know if stuff like this is more fuel for vaxxers or anti-vaxxers, but clearly it sucks for Rahm.

Taki27 - I report, you decide 😉

His vaccine was worthless because he took the first (only) jab days after he was in contact with someone that tested positive. He tried to get insurance against a burning building.

What concerns me about this is so much for herd immunity and I truly and sincerely hope Jon is a rare exception, especially with a baby at home. He receives a vax, has been tested positive in the past, and is tested positive again all within 2 months or so. What are the odds?

Taki27 I wonder about a false positive at the Memorial. At least I hope that's the case. Hate to think that the vaccine AND natural immunity don't work.

mikeintopeka We have seen that people who become infected with the virus can test positive, sometimes iintermittently, for weeks to even months. We don't consider people to be actually infected or contagious in this situation. The test is a PCR that assays for small portions of the viral genome. A positive test does not necessarily indicate active infection.
I think Rahm is getting screwed by an inflexible policy that is not based on actually analyzing the individual situation.

mikeintopeka

garyt1957 - No, at the Memorial he had two tests and both were positive. That is what led to the delay in notifying him during his round that he needed to WD immediately...waiting on that 2nd test result.

Par4QC

To be clear.....Rahm had the vaccination BEFORE The Memorial, but was not out of the 14 day period, when he tested positive. Not sure what vaccine he had, if it was Pfizer or Moderna or even had the 2nd dose since.
He's a dumbass. And it's costing him millions. But he's solidified his place in history forever. 😉

Taki27

Par4QC I read that he had the J
&J 1 dose. I can see how you could criticize him for the Memorial, but what could he have done to cause the Olympics to be his fault?

Par4QC

Taki27 Superman is a fictional character. But he even he had his weakness, which could totally disable/kill him.
He, also, had to be careful of who he encountered. 😉

azgreg

You can be fully vaccinated and still contract Covid. The difference is it would be extremely unlikely for to get very ill.

Par4QC

rsvman2 I think Rahm is getting screwed by an inflexible policy that is not based on actually analyzing the individual situation.

If ever there was a way to "fix" the Games, this is the way today.

I realize he was tested outside the venue, but over 100 have tested positive since being there. If the top qualifiers in every event were to be found positive........... 🤔

Just a scenario, not making accusations. The possibility is now real.

Maybe there is some truth to the conspiracy theory regarding that the current PCR tests can't really differentiate between the flu and covid and this is the reason the CDC is switching to a different test at the end of the year. In any case I'm guessing his first covid tests must've been false positives as it would seem highly unlikely that both natural and vaccine antibodies didn't provide protection from infection.

Natpharm

Champ looking like a chump on 18 at the 3M. Is he able to squeak out a bogey for the win or will there be a 3-4 man playoff? Glad I turned it on.

Natpharm

That answers that question

Clutch decision making and wedge play by a dehydrated pro... 🏌

Eguller That, coupled with a caddy's "do it this way" or else advice, or as it seemed, demand. 😉

This article was sent to me, and it has a link to the full complaint. While I have not made it through the whole complaint, the bottom of page 4 starts in on the PCR tests, how they are not reliable for detecting COVID-19 and how the manufacturer include insert disclaimers with the tests that state the PCR tests should NOT be used to diagnose COVID-19.

rsvman2

shokosugi I can assure you that the PCR for Covid 19 definitely does not trip positive because of the flu.
What I am saying is that people who get infected with the virus can test positive for a long time thereafter. The test doesnt prove contagion, as it is not an assay for replication-competent virus.
