One for the history books, folks. Photo: YouTube Last night, Los Angeles erupted in celebration as the L.A. Dodgers won the World Series; a first since 1988. It also may have erupted in a hyperlocalized coronavirus superspreader event, as third baseman Justin Turner rushed the field to celebrate real up close and personal with his teammates despite testing positive twice for coronavirus.
Things got even more epidemiologically suspect after the game, when Turner joined his teammates back on the field — in a mask, at least — to hug and take photos with them. At one point, he kisses his wife Kourtney Pogue, mask off, sans protection, right on the lips, while holding the Commissioner’s Trophy. That’s gonna need a wipe down.
According to baseball writer Jared Diamond, “When MLB officials found out, they instructed security to get Turner back into isolation. Turner refused to leave.” As ESPN reporter T.J. Quinn pointed out, Turner took off his mask, knowing he was positive for coronavirus, to pose in the team photo next to team manager Dave Roberts, who is a cancer survivor.
Turner, for his part, did not exactly or even vaguely apologize after the game, but he did tweet his “Thanks to everyone reaching out! I feel great, no symptoms at all.” This is not a good look, Turner.
Disgusted by justinturner's shameful behavior and the exposure by him of COVID to his fellow players after being called out of the game.
Severity of covid is over. Check out the history of the 1918 pandemic
keithbaldrey I am amazed that people are responding this way...he clearly was infected for the first 2 innings....what changed during the rest of the game Test results. That's it. He was spreading it before he received the results ... Why wouldn't he celebrate the win...with the group?
I wON the world series! I love you honey! Have some COVID.
keithbaldrey What an ass.
keithbaldrey Well, they're not hired for their brains, are they?
keithbaldrey One too many foul balls to the head?
keithbaldrey Just plain selfish and stupid. This is why Covid has exploded worldwide. People are selfish. They can’t sacrifice to help others.
keithbaldrey Karen fodder
keithbaldrey Clown 🤡 Dodgers organization is disgraceful
Get a grip. Happy for him and the Dodgers The hateful comments from the article tells me all I need to know.
Disgusting
How horrible
Disgusting !!! Another reason the Rays should have won
This is every dude on the London Underground every morning. Tested positive, feeling fine, no need for a mask (and apparently have no idea what’s been happening for the last months).
I believe the first test came back inconclusive and then they rushed results on the second. Doesn’t excuse him coming out on the field. But your facts may be slightly off kilter.
It's called lack of respect! He showed zero awareness and concern for anyone except himself!
What a joke
But thankfully MSNBC reports he is for Biden!
FFS. Why wasn’t he immediately removed from the bench & quarantined?
Kinda a dick move
He's Not Dodging, but on II Base
