On a more serious note, skiing is fairly socially distanced to within your friends and family group
Alpine ski resorts were basically the warm meat market of Europe. They were the sites of the biggest outbreaks in Feb/March and are directly linked to the initial outbreaks in dozens of countries. The Austrian resort, Ischgl, is linked to cases in 45 countries alone.

We went to a resort that was very family friendly (Les Saisies) not too far from Contamines-Montjoie where the unlucky British chap went after catching it in Singapore. We were there at the same time too.
I completely understand that during the ski season, one super spreader could could infect dozens/hundreds of people who subsequently flew back home to all the various countries and developed symptoms only once arrived.
Article from 10th Feb, which states that more than 900 people had died.... now at 1.77 million dead...

Hopefully not, though I am Asian.
Don’t remember eating bats for Christmas though.
On a more serious note, skiing is fairly socially distanced to within your friends and family group. I had a buff at all times due to my chest and the cold air, and the closest I got to other people were on ski lifts.
It was only once I got back that I heard about the British skiers who ‘brought back’ COVID to the UK, who were at a different resort in the alps the same week.
If I did have it, (I’d be surprised that I didn’t), I probably got it from interna tional students coming back to uni after the Christmas break. Martial arts training and teaching isn’t very hygienic or socially distanced.
