Loads of people who were, or still are, out in Qatar, have reported feeling absolutely rotten, as a result of catching an infection out there. World Cup Camel flu is the tag given to it.Reading what he wrote on Monday, the natural causes explanation seems pretty strong. It turns out it's not that hard to throw one's body into heart attack/stroke via the interaction between fatigue, stress and poor diet/hydration. The Japanese (go figure) even have a word for the phenomenon: karoshi.
Everyone affected thinking it must be Covid, but testing negative. One of the lads on our trip missed 2 games, he felt that bad.
Apparently, it’s their flu season out there, as winter has started and it’s “cold”
I would beg to differ on that point, but there were workers out there wearing parkas, as we walked about squirting sweat out of every pore, (I even took a pic of a guy on our bus as it was so bizarre to us)
A suggestion doing the rounds as far back as late November was that it could be Legionella.
The Qatar bots have piled on heavily, as they do in response to any criticism, where genuine questions about the numbers infected have been raised on various WC forums.
