Comment/ Public Safety Message essay on Sports Reporting by Masked Man:

I think it’s a somewhat subjective and not necessarily completely factual report when
Glen Quartermain
of The West Australian words it this way:
“Kenyan Paul Eyanae fights illness to win Perth Running Festival marathon.

The reporter could have very easily worded it more humbly to read

Kenyan Paul Eyanae succumbs to undetermined undiagnosed or undisclosed illness therefore it is a unpredictable illness that might even be contagious while Running  during a Festival marathon.

Or

Kenyan Paul Eyanae ignores symptoms of what for all we know could be a life threatening illness to win Perth Running Festival marathon.

.. sorry to be a party pooper folks but in reality it is supposed to be customary to seek medical attention if you feel ill …it’s just not a good idea to run around with an undetermined undiagnosed illness. I’m afraid and concerned for this runners life. If you know or suspect a loved one is ill please encourage them to take a time out and seek a diagnosis from someone who is qualified to determine illness.

Let’s not glamorize athletes who ignore symptoms of undisclosed illness or fail to get proper diagnosis of illness before proceeding with engaging with one another socially. Life is more precious than winning a foot race. At least figure out what illness is and take measures to prevent infecting other human beings.. as it might be serious for all parties involved including people we might like that are in close contact and proximity.

Point is an undiagnosed and even a diagnosed illness can be very unpredictable Let us never assume anything about an undiagnosed or undisclosed illness. Unknown illnesses or viruses are  unpredictable and therefore prospectively dangerous. Also the hard cold truth about viruses are: what might not kill you illness-wise, might invariably kill or cause great irreversible damage to somebody else close to you that you like...because by nature it is unpredictable ...

...and those are facts and terms that should all be included in the reporters account of what took place of  Kenyan Paul Eyanae's case.

Let's do an independent report that includes Who What Where Why and how:
Who?:Kenyan Paul Eyanae
what?: There's something wrong with Kenyan Paul Eyanae.. Kenyan Paul Eyanae is ill.
where?: no/incomplete report: He says his tummy feels bad? what about his head, throat or a muscular symptom etc. Does he say it's just his tummy!?  
why?:? No/incomplete report: We don't the cause and effect or the why it happened because we don't even know what the "illness is!
and how: We don't know how ..we don't how to treat it or keep from infecting loved ones because it is an undisclosed undiagnosed illness. Of course we don't know what to do for this ill member of society. I mean a tummy problem could mean anything! Your guess is as good as mine. His tummy hurts and he is running as fast as he can. "How"!? Again we don't even know what the illness is so we ain't gonna know how to do anything about it!

... There's nothing  journalistically speaking wrong with the following  statement as it seems correct and true enough to say: : Kenyan Paul Eyanae is running as fast he can  with apparently an undiagnosed unpredictable illness that might hurt you or me and even put us in the hospital begging for our lives!

Now I'm not a doctor but judging by Kenyan Paul Eyanae photo in this article I can't help but notice he looks like skin and bones... He just looks underweight to my unprofessional eye. He looks like he's on the edge of starvation to my amateur eye. As a friend I would speculate if this isn't hard on the heart to possibly be underweight and carry an illness at same time.

That's something that should be investigated. If a person has like no body fat will they survive an illness more or less than a person who has some body fat?

Ive always heard its hard on the heart to be sick and have no body fat on ya ..at least that is what I heard. Not sure if its true or not but I heard if somebody is sick they have trouble eating and so a fat guy lives off his fat while sick.  The  underweight guy who is suffering from an illness might get heart problems and has more chances to die because he was already starving to begin with so that illness just puts that much more strain on his already underweight body and the heart has to work harder to stay alive.


According to a study published in the journal BMC Public HealthTrusted Source, being underweight is associated with an increased risk for mortality when compared to people with an average BMI. The researchers suggested that being underweight may impair a person’s healing processes following an accident or trauma compared to a person with an average BMI.

There's some practices in sports to  coined or termed "make weight" for boxers to compete in certain classes.. anyway there are athletes in various sports that push their body weights to extremes so they can compete in certain weight classes or divisions...It is not uncommon for some athletes to suffer from being underweight..

For athletes interested some of the risks in being underweight

Here's a nice article

These viruses hit players from every sport, including Billiards (Pool).

Neil Robertson has been forced out of the Northern Ireland Open due to a ‘brutal respiratory virus’ which he felt was ‘one of the worst experiences’ of his life.

Gosh you'd think Neil Robertson first priority would be to seek medical attention from a qualified doctor with proper diagnostic tools. Hard to believe a person with a
"brutal respiratory virus’" even has time for a reporter before going to doctor to determine whether  "‘one of the worst experiences’ of his life" was contagious or not. Just seems if he has the strength to talk to reporters that he has the strength to first seek medical attention so that he has all the facts about what to do and how to protect others from a "brutal respiratory virus" and "the worst experiences’ of their lives if it is indeed 'virally" contagious as he suspects. All he thinks he knows is that he got it from Xi’an in China  as if that isn't scary enough to inflict upon others and whoever he's been hanging with.

I certainly didn't have any time to talk to a reporter when my loved one wasn't feeling good before I took her to hospital to find out she was going to be okay. We stuck our masks on right away a masked nurse took vitals and a masked doctor used diagnostic tools and a machine to determine her safety and a proper diagnosis and we aren't even famous nor do we jeopardize the health of others with a viral illness yet we sought a qualified doctor and did what it took to actually determine  what is wrong with us.

If you suspect you have a weird "brutal respiratory virus" from another country or any country for that matter, I suggest isolating yourself from the public and wearing a mask and to Go to doctor first with your concerns then then talk to reporter only when you have more facts and are safe and it is safe to do so if you are having "the worst experiences’ of your life. First seek medical attention before seeking press and public attention!

It/s very misleading when people make self diagnosis. Don't publicly disclose a mere guess at what virus you might have and where it comes from without first getting some backup by a doctor..  a qualified medical practitioner can reveal with science and tools what is ailing thee . Don't pretend to be a doctor. It's misleading to disclose a self diagnosis publicly without  proper modern diagnostic tools and diagnosis. If someone wants to publicly release their health diagnosis that's fine but get it from a doctor that can substantiate these mere guesses with medical tests and tools .. don't pretend to be a doctor when ya need one. Its okay to speculate but ideally go to doctor before speculating in public. We just don't know what Neil Robertson really has or how and where he got it and it sounds brutal and terrifying we haven't any info from his doctor.. That's scary guesswork! Kind of embarrassing and definitely irresponsible to not get tested to prove or be able to confirm medically whether one is right or not about their health and whether they are in danger or pose a threat to others with their virus.

For instance we experiences symptoms but many illnesses share these symptoms. We  are merely guessing as to what the true illness is based on our symptoms. Experience bad headache or a sore throat and it could be anything. Your guess is as good as mine. Take chest pains for example: one feels the chest pains but has no idea as to why .. yeah it might be as serious as a heart attack or it it might be as safe as gas intestinal problems. In my loved case it was not a heart attack like we suspected and we had no idea until we sought medical attention that her chest pains might be caused by prospective problems with gull bladder stones or kidney stones. She knows her body pretty good but we had no idea she has gull bladder stones or kidney stones that may be a problem for her as time goes on. Don't impersonate a doctor with a self diagnosis.. seek prompt medical attention if you are experiencing "brutal respiratory virus’ or having ‘one of the worst experiences’. Use science, diagnostic tools, and qualified medical professionals to back up your guesses or wishes.
