Interesting significant fact:
Jasper De Buyst bicyclist felt at liberty to disclose what his illness actually is namely that he has covid, while scores of football, basketball and hockey players either don’t know why they are sick, don’t want to know, or aren’t at the liberty to disclose their illness be it a seriously dangerous contagious diseases with long term repercussions for all those that catch it or not.
For some reason or rather some lack of reason, scores of players are not interested in sharing this information or the nature of the illness they have. This sin of omission of proper diagnosis means the football, basketball, and hockey players are haphazardly spreading an undetermined illness around completely unregulated and unmonitored with no tools in place to prevent inevitable outbreaks with no regards for the sake of public safety or the welfare of their own team players as listed here on this forum the 2025 US Sports Illness Thread LINK:
https://www.datareport.info/sports-health/2025-us-sports-illness-thread/msg2672/?topicseen#newBicyclist Jasper De Buyst leaves the other so called professional football, basketball, and hockey players in the dust Insofar as ethics, honesty and integrity and true sportsmanship goes having disclosed information deepening our understanding about his diagnosis shedding light on a disease that is known to hurt others.
Saint Masked Man side-note: If you have a disease like covid or anything it helps others to share that you have it and to share your experiences with others online about it. It comforts others to acknowledge illnesses and struggles... share experiences don't hide experiences because sharing brings comfort and understanding to others as well as to the person sharing.
You know they exterminate the entire flock of birds when a few gets sick with bird flu.. count yourself lucky to be a homo sapien (Homo is the Latin word for 'human' or 'man' and sapiens is derived from a Latin word that means 'wise' or 'astute')...Count yourself lucky to be a homo sapien in that you have the privilege of determining what contagious illness you have and the opportunity to isolate yourself and breaking the continuous cycle of the contagious element of the disease therefore preventing scores of others from getting sick and maybe even helping to eradicate the disease itself(at least in part and at least for those you have contact with) with your own behavior. Act like a responsible human towards others and do the right things to protect one another from contagious illnesses. Don't hide "the ball" or play games with a contagious disease NFL/NBA/NHL and company. Don't chase after balls only to catch a disease (no pun intended). Microscopic entities are at play...Don't let them play you.
