I'm surprised they're even testing, much less made people mask after a positive. On brand for neoliberals to take half-measures too late but only because it's an investment on the line

IMHO these Olympics are basically invalid now. There's no telling who knows they have covid and are refusing to mask for a competitive advantage. There will be a disproportionate number of scumbags winning gold.
