2024 Paris Olympics hit by early COVID cases, but organizers don't seem worried by risk of major outbreak

Paris — Thousands of athletes and spectators from around the world have descended on Paris for the looming 2024 Summer Olympics. They've brought with them the potential for a COVID-19 outbreak to spread within the tightly confined Games atmosphere.

Officials expect Paris to receive as many as 15 million visitors, including 2 million tourists from abroad, during the Games.

Dr. Céline Gounder, CBS News medical contributor and editor-at-large for public health at KFF Health News, said Wednesday on "CBS Mornings" that a current spike in cases across the U.S. is likely due to the coronavirus continuing to mutate, and to vaccinations only preventing infection reliably for several months, though they continue to protect from severe illness for much longer, "which is why people are not getting sick the way they were early in the pandemic."

Wait til the “Seine” hits the fan so to speak. Worse than Montezuma’s Revenge. SHTF

Little Feat Band: “The Fan” it’s from the 70s- 4:29

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw9l_ztwT3E

“Heard you got an infection just before your lewd rejection.
Wait til the s...t hits the Fan, Man!
You couldn’t turn if you tri- hied.”

Funny line:”Hold your address book above your knees”. Good advice for the earlier kamala- a walking cesspool of stoner STD scum.

So just which version of the “jab” is supposedly effective this time?

Or is the new “Olympic” formulation still in the petri dish and will be ready by September AFTER the games have closed.

Bad for business to worry about it.
And it’s nothing to worry about anyway. Unless they start passing out shots

Yes, the Olympic version seems to work best.

It has nothing to do with the fact that the Olympic athletes are young and amongst the best fit people in the world.
